2 Chronicles Chapter 6
Overview
Ch2 6:1, Solomon, having blessed the people, blesses God; Ch2 6:12, Solomon's prayer in the consecration of the temple, upon the brasen scaffold, etc.
The Lord: Exo 20:21, Exo 24:15-18; Lev 16:2; Deu 4:11; Kg1 8:12-21; Psa 18:8-11, Psa 97:2; Nah 1:3; Heb 12:18
I have built: Ch2 2:4-6; Sa2 7:13; Kg1 8:13; Ch1 17:12, Ch1 22:10, Ch1 22:11, Ch1 28:6, Ch1 28:20; Psa 132:5; Psa 132:13, Psa 132:14; Joh 4:21-23; Heb 9:11, Heb 9:12; Rev 21:3

my name: Exo 20:24, Exo 23:21; Deu 12:5, Deu 12:11; Dan 9:19
neither chose: The judges and Saul were chosen by God, for a season, to be rulers of Israel; but not to establish a permanent and hereditary authority over that people, as was the case with David. This clause is wanting in the parallel passage of Kings; but it helps to clear the sense. Sa1 10:24, Sa1 13:13, Sa1 13:14, Sa1 15:23; Sa2 7:15, Sa2 7:16
But I have chosen Jerusalem: This clause is also not found in Kings. Jerusalem was expressly marked out, by the building of the temple, to be the centre of the worship of Israel; as Jehovah had before spoken by Moses. See the parallel passages. Ch2 12:13; Psa 48:1, Psa 78:68-70, Psa 132:13; Isa 14:32

I put the ark: Ch2 5:7, Ch2 5:10; Exo 40:20; Kg1 8:9, Kg1 8:21; Heb 9:4
the covenant: As "there was nothing in the ark but the two tables of stone," consequently they are called the covenant, i.e., a sign of the covenant.

heaven: Hashshamayim ooshemey hashshamayim "the heavens and the heavens of heavens;" which words seem to imply that there are systems and systems of systems, each possessing its sun, its primary and secondary planets; all extending beyond each other in unlimited space, in the same regular and graduated order which we find to prevail in our solar system; which, probably, in its thousands of millions of miles in diameter, is, to some others, no more than the area of the lunar orbit to that of Georgium Sidus. Ch2 2:6; Psa 139:7-10; Jer 23:24; Co2 12:2
