2 Chronicles 24

2 Chronicles 24:3

But thy son, &c. - Thus one sows, and another reaps. And let not the wisest of men, think it any disparagement to pursue the good designs which those that went before them had laid.

2 Chronicles 24:8

O Lord, &c. - By this prayer the temple of Solomon is made a figure of Christ, the great Mediator thro’ whom we are to offer up all our prayers, and to expect all God’s favours, and to whom we are to have an eye in everything wherein we have to do with God.

2 Chronicles 24:15

And when they shall, &c. - He asks not, that God would help them without their praying for themselves, but that God would help them, in answer to their prayers. Even Christ’s intercession does not supersede, but encourage our supplications.
