2 Chronicles 2:2 - Exposition

The presence of this verse here, and the composition of it, may probably mark some corruptness of text or error of copyists, as the first two words of it are the proper first two words of 2 Chronicles 2:17 , and the remainder of it shows the proper contents of 2 Chronicles 2:18 , which are not only in other aspects apparently in the right place there, but also by analogy of the parallel ( 1 Kings 5:15 , 1 Kings 5:16 ). The contents of this verse will therefore be considered with 2 Chronicles 2:17 , 2 Chronicles 2:18 .
