Study note

1 Chronicles 22:9–10

  • Solomon was a man of peace, avoiding war and bloodshed in battle. The temple was constructed during his peaceful rule (see 2 Chronicles 2–7).

  • The Hebrew text uses two different words to describe conditions during Solomon’s reign:

    • peace (Hebrew shalom, related to Solomon’s name)

    • quiet (Hebrew menukhah, related to the idea of redemption)
