Solomon informs
Huram of the particular services to be performed in the temple.
The mysteries of the true religion, unlike those of the Gentile
superstitions, sought not concealment. Solomon endeavored to
possess Huram with great and high thoughts of the God of Israel.
We should not be afraid or ashamed to embrace every opportunity to
speak of God, and to impress others with a deep sense of the
importance of his favor and service.
Now that the people of Israel kept close to the law and worship of
God, the neighboring nations were willing to be taught by them in
the true religion, as the Israelites had been willing in the days
of their apostasy, to be infected with the idolatries and
superstitions of their neighbors.
A wise and pious king is an evidence of the Lord's special love
for his people. How great then was God's love to his believing
people, in giving his only-begotten Son to be their Prince and
their Savior. |
