Solomon’s Temple Contributed by Thomas Swope on Jan 9, 2019 (message contributor) Summary: A study in the book of 2 Chronicles 5: 1 – 14 2 Chronicles 5: 1 – 14 Solomon’s Temple 5 So all the work that Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God. 2 Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD up from the City of David, which is Zion. 3 Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month. 4 So all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark. 5 Then they brought up the ark, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up. 6 Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. 7 Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim. 8 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles. 9 The poles extended so that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day. 10 Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt. 11 And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions), 12 and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets— 13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying: “For He is good, for His mercy endures forever,” that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God. The First Temple of Israel is known as Solomon’s Temple which is a correct title. It was supposed to be The House of the Lord. However, with all the wrong things that went into this building I think it is appropriate to call it after Solomon and not add our Lord involvement in its design and construction. Remember He was never asked His opinion on any of this. All in all, it in my opinion the whole building and its items demeaned our Holy God. The Bible tells us that Solomon employed 30,000 people to build the temple in 3 shifts of 10,000 at a time. There were a staggering 80,000 people quarrying stone to build the temple. Yet another 70,000 people were employed just to transport the stone from the quarry to the building site. Solomon employed another 3,300 supervisors to oversee the work. That's a total of 183,300 people working for 7 years - yes 7 years to build the magnificent temple of Solomon. So, it took 183,000 men 7 years to build a temple. Now I know that there were not any of the heavy construction equipment available in this time in history. But exactly what were 80,000 people doing in the quarry for 7 years? Perhaps they had really bad union problems. Perhaps Solomon’s project managers and the supervisors (all 3,300 of them) were just utterly incompetent or desiring job security. I live just outside Philadelphia and our main access highway I-95 the Pennsylvania Highway Department has been fixing this road every year since I was a kid. It is amazing that they put in nice smooth black top and after the first small salting for icy roads the highway reverts to pot hole alley. Now to go on to the shift workers cutting wood in Lebanon: -10,000 men working for 313 days a year (Sabbath off). Let’s suppose one man cuts down and prepares only one tree a day. that's 3,130,000 trees a year for 7 years.

2 इतिहास अध्याय 5 तब, परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका निम्ति सुलेमानले गरेका सम्पूर्ण कार्य पूर्ण भए। सुलेमानले सबै चीजहरू ल्याए जो तिनका पिता दाऊदले मन्दिरका निम्ति दिएका थिए। सुलेमानले सुन चाँदीका सबै चीजहरू अनि सजाउने सबै वस्तुहरू ल्याए। सुलेमानले ती सबै चीज बीजहरू परमेश्वरको मन्दिरका कोष-कक्षमा राखे। 2 सुलेमानले इस्राएलका सबै अग्रज अनि कुल समूहका प्रधानहरूलाई यरूशलेममा एक साथ भेट गर्ने आदेश दिए। (यी मानिसहरू इस्राएलका परिवारहरूका प्रधानहरूका प्रमुखहरू थिए।) सुलेमानले यसो गरे जसमा कि लेवीहरूले परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दूक दाऊदको शहर सियोनबाट मन्दिर सम्म ल्याउन सकोस्। 3 इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरू झूप्रो-बासको चाडको समयमा राजा सुलेमानको समक्षमा एकसाथ भेला भए। यो उत्सव सातौं महीनामा मनाइन्थ्यो। 4 जब इस्राएलका सबै अग्रजहरू आइपुगे, लेवीहरूले करारको सन्दूक उठाए। 5 तब पूजाहारी अनि लेवीहरूले करारको सन्दूक बोकेर यरूशलेममा लगे। तिनीहरूले भेट हुने पाल अनि त्यसमा भएका सबै पवित्र बस्तुहरू पनि यरूशलेममा ल्याए। 6 राजा सुलेमान अनि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूले करारको सन्दूक अघि भेटे। राजा सुलेमान अनि इस्राएलका समस्त मानिसहरूले भेडा अनि गोरूहरूका बलि चढाए। भेंडा अनि गोरूहरू यति विघ्नथिए कि कुनै व्यक्तिले ती गिन्ती गर्न सकेनन्। 7 त्यसपछि पूजाहारीहरूले परमप्रभुको करारको सन्दूक त्यसका निम्ति तयार पारिएका स्थानमा ल्याए। त्यो स्थान मन्दिर भित्रको महापवित्र स्थान थियो। करारको सन्दूकलाई करूब स्वर्गदूतहरूका पंखेटा मुनि राखियो। 8 करूब स्वर्गदूतहरूले तिनीहरूका पंखेटाहरू त्यस स्थान माथि फैलाएका थिए जहाँ करारको सन्दूक थियो। करूब स्वर्गदूतहरूले करारको सन्दूकलाई ढाकेका थिए र सन्दूक बोक्न प्रयोग गरिएका डन्डामाथि खडा थिए। 9 ती डन्डाहरू यति लामा थिए कि तिनीहरूको टुप्पो महा पवित्र स्थानको सामुन्नेबाट नै देख्न सकिन्थ्यो। तर कुनै व्यक्तिले पनि ती डंण्डाहरूलाई मन्दिरको बाहिरबाट देख्न सक्तैन थियो। ती डंण्डाहरू आज सम्म पनि त्यहीं छन्। 10 करारको सन्दूकमा दुई फलाकहरू बाहेक अरू केही थिएन। मोशाले ती दुइ फलाकलाई होरेब पहाडमा करारको सन्दूकभित्र राखेका थिए। होरेब त्यो स्थान हो जहाँ परमप्रभुले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूसित करार गर्नु भएको थियो। इस्राएलका मानिसहरू मिश्रदेशबाट बाहिर भए पछि त्यो कुरा घटेको थियो। 11 त्यहाँ भएका सबै पूजाहारीहरूले स्वयंलाई पवित्र तुल्याउने रीति सम्पन्न गरे। तब, पूजाहारीहरू पवित्र स्थानको बाहिर आए, तिनीहरू एकै साथ उभिए, तर तिनीहरूको विशेष समूहमा होइन। 12 लेवी गायकहरू वेदीका पूर्वतर्फ उभीए। आसाप, हेमान अनि यदूतूनका सबै गायक समूहहरू त्यहां थिए। तिनीहरूका छोरा अनि आफन्तहरू पनि त्यहाँ थिए। ती लेवी गायकहरू सेतो मलमलका पोशाकमा थिए। तिनीहरू सित झ्याम्टा, वीणा र सारङ्गीहरू थिए। त्यहाँ 120 पूजाहारीहरू ती लेवी गायकहरू साथ थिए। ती 120 पूजाहारीहरूले तुरही बजाए। 13 मानिसहरू कसैले तुरही बजाए कसैले गाए ती एक व्यक्ति जस्तै थिए। तिनीहरूले एउटै ध्वनिमा बजाए जब तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको स्तुति गरे अनि धन्यवाद ज्ञापन गरे। तिनीहरूले तुरही, झ्याम्टा अनि वाद्य-यन्त्रबाट ठूलो आवाज निकाले। तिनीहरूले “परमप्रभुको स्तुति गरे किनभने उहाँ असल हुनुहुन्छ। उहाँको सत्य प्रेम सदा सर्वदा रहि रहन्छ” भनी गीत गाए।तब परमप्रभुको मन्दिर बादलले भरियो। 14 पूजाहारीहरूले सेवा कार्य चलाइ राख्न सकेनन् किनभने यो मन्दिर परमप्रभुको महिमाले बादलको रूपमा भरिएको थियो।
