What Does 2 Chronicles 9:27 Mean?
The chronicler captures the extraordinary prosperity of the city. Silver lay as plentiful as stones in Jerusalem, and costly cedar became as common as the ordinary sycamore trees of the lowlands. Abundance overflowed.
Such plenty was the visible fruit of God's blessing on a reign of peace. Yet earthly abundance is never the deepest measure of a kingdom. The riches that matter most are righteousness and the presence of God, gifts no amount of silver and cedar can supply, and which alone make a people truly blessed.
