2 Chronicles 8:2
That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
2 Chronicles 8:2 belongs to the history of Solomon, one of the main divisions of Chronicles. More particularly it belongs to the opening portion of Second Chronicles, chapters 1 to 9, which records the undivided kingdom under Solomon. That opening portion covers the same events as 1 Kings 1 to 11 and stands in chronological order. Chronicles supplies additional historical facts alongside the material recorded in Samuel and Kings. Within this setting, special attention belongs to the building and furniture of the temple, together with the dedication prayer and sacrifices and the divine answer to Solomon's prayer.
