Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)
This chapter contains one important addition only to the narrative of Kings (see the marginal references); namely, the account of the circumstances under which the manifestation of the Divine Presence took place 2Ch 5:11-13.
This site's exposition
Thus all the work that Solomon made
Solomon's finished work closes the building record that began at 3:1, and the verse matches 1 Kings 7:51 almost word for word: the parallel discipline holds here, since Chronicles is not retelling a different building but the same one. What crosses into the treasury is David's own dedicated silver and gold, the gifts he laid up in 1 Chr 18:11 and 26:26-28, finally entering the house they were kept for. Barnes notes that this chapter's real contribution over Kings is not this verse but the scene the trumpets and singers bring at the chapter's end.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
But the ark, with the mercy-seat and the cherubim, was the same; for the presence and the grace of God are the same in little assemblies that they are in large ones, in the poor condition of the church that they are in its prosperous estate. Wherever two or three are gathered together in Christ's name there is he as truly present with them as if there were 2000 or 3000.

BRINGING UP OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT. Then Solomon assembled . . . in the feast which was in the seventh month--The feast of the dedication of the temple was on the eighth day of that month. This is related, word for word, the same as in 1Ki 8:1-10.
Brought in all the things - See the note on 1Ki 7:51.
