Joe: Alright so you’re telling me this chapter is about King Solomon getting prepared to build the temple?

Bible Expert: That’s right Joe. In 2 Chronicles 2, King Solomon sent out a call for skilled laborers to help construct the temple.

Joe: Wow, so he was serious about building this temple.

Bible Expert: Yes, he was. He also sent for cedar logs from Lebanon as well as gold and silver for the furnishings of the temple.

Joe: What else did he do?

Bible Expert: He also recruited a huge number of workers to help build the temple, and he made plans for the divisions of priests and Levites who would be in charge of the temple worship.

Joe: Whoa, that’s a lot of preparation!

Bible Expert: Indeed it is, Joe! He also made arrangements for the offerings that would be given to the temple.

Joe: Sounds like King Solomon was really dedicated to this project.

Bible Expert: Absolutely. We can see from this chapter that he was determined to make sure everything was done right.
