• The second book of Chronicles continues on from the first book without transition; originally they formed a single account in the Hebrew manuscripts. (“Solomon's Reign: 2 Chronicles 1-9” by H.L. Rossier)
• The account of the Chronicles is a continuous one until the end of Solomon's reign (2 Chron. 10), and if we are looking for a moral division in our subject, it will not properly be introduced until 2 Chron. 11. (“Solomon's Reign: 2 Chronicles 1-9” by H.L. Rossier)
• Solomon himself symbolizes the future reign of wisdom and peace that will be inaugurated by the Lord's coming. This is why, as we have noted in 1 Chronicles in the history of David, Solomon's reign does not present any failures in Chronicles and even with the greatest carefulness, one cannot discover there the least allusion to the king's faults. (“Solomon's Reign: 2 Chronicles 1-9” by H.L. Rossier)
• The incident of the two prostitutes (1 Kings 3:16-28) is also passed over in complete silence, for if this scene shows us Solomon's wisdom, it shows us his wisdom in the service of righteousness in order to rule equitably. The king does not pursue the investigation further, and does not rebuke or cut off even the most guilty of these prostitutes. Chronicles does not present Solomon's reign according to the character we have just mentioned. It is above all a reign of peace, presided over by wisdom. (“A King According to God's Counsels: 2 Chronicles 1” by H.L. Rossier)
• Solomon strengthens himself here with his full personal authority, but nonetheless he remains the dependent man, for if he were not, he would not be the type of the True King according to God's counsels. "Ask of me," He is urged in Psalm 2, "and I will give Thee... for Thy possession the ends of the earth." (“A King According to God's Counsels: 2 Chronicles 1” by H.L. Rossier)
