2 Chronicles 7:10 Summary

This verse tells us that after the big celebration and dedication of the temple, Solomon sent the people home, and they were very happy and thankful for all the good things that God had done for them. They were glad because God had been so good to their king, David, and to Solomon, and to all of the people of Israel. This reminds us that we should always be thankful for the good things that God does for us, as it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, and that we should rejoice and give thanks to Him for His presence and blessing in our lives, as seen in Psalm 100:4-5. We can learn from the people's example to cultivate a heart of joy and gratitude for God's goodness in our own lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Solomon send the people away to their homes on the twenty-third day of the seventh month?

Solomon sent the people away after the feast and the dedication of the altar, as the celebrations had come to an end, and it was time for the people to return to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for them, as seen in 2 Chronicles 7:10 and also in Deuteronomy 16:15 where it is written that the people should rejoice before the Lord.

What were the people joyful and glad of heart about?

The people were joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel, as stated in 2 Chronicles 7:10, which reflects the promise of God's presence and blessing in 2 Chronicles 7:12 and the command to rejoice in Psalm 100:4-5.

This verse marks the conclusion of the dedication of the temple and the feast that Solomon and the people of Israel had been celebrating, as described in 2 Chronicles 7:8-9, and it sets the stage for the LORD's appearance to Solomon in 2 Chronicles 7:12, where God affirms His presence and promises to hear Solomon's prayers.

We can learn that a proper response to God's goodness is joy and gratitude, as seen in the people's joyful and glad hearts, and this is a theme that is echoed throughout Scripture, such as in Psalm 107:1 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where we are called to give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and mercy.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:10

2 Chronicles 7:10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.Ver. 10. And on the three and twentieth day.] On the two and twentieth he dismissed those that dwelt within a Sabbath day’ s journey.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:10

(10) And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month.—Beginning with the evening of the twenty-second. For the goodness.—Some MSS., Syriac, and Arabic, “for all the goodness,” as in 1 Kings 8:66. David, and to Solomon.—Kings, “David his servant.” The mention of Solomon was added by the chronicler. (Comp. 2 Chronicles 6:4; 2 Chronicles 6:8; 2 Chronicles 6:15-17; 2 Chronicles 6:42, where all Solomon’s success is connected with the premise to David.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:10

Verse 10. On the three and twentieth day] This was the ninth day of the dedication of the temple; but in 1Kg 8:66 it is called the eighth day. "The meaning is this," says Jarchi: "he gave them liberty to return on the eighth day, and many of them did then return: and he dismissed the remainder on the ninth, what is called here the twenty-third, reckoning the fourteen days for the duration of the two feasts; in all, twenty-three." The Targum paraphrases this verse thus: "The people departed with a glad heart, for all the good which God had done to David his servant, on whose account the doors of the sanctuary were open and for Solomon his son, because God had heard his prayer, and the majesty of the Lord had rested on the house of the sanctuary and for Israel, his people, because God had favourably accepted their oblations, and the heavenly fire had descended, and, burning on the altar, had devoured their sacrifices."

Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 7:10

10. into their tents] R.V. unto their tents (as 1 Kings 8:66). The Hebrew word (ohel) here approaches in meaning the corresponding Arabic word (ahl), which denotes household or one’s own people, e.g. in the phrase ahlu ’linjil, “the household of the Gospel,” i.e. “the Christians” a phrase found in the Koran. Cp. 2 Chronicles 10:16; 2 Chronicles 25:22. glad and merry in heart] R.V. joyful and glad of heart (as in 1 Kings 8:66).
