Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

These were Israel's golden days, days of the Son of man in type. The Dedication of the Temple. 1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the L ORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court--that is, the whole extent of the priests' court--the altar of burnt offerings, though large (2Ch 4:1), being totally inadequate for the vast number of sacrifices that distinguished this occasion.
