2 Chronicles 23 · John Wesley
Foundation - At the east gate, so called because it stood lower than the rest of the doors at the foot of the steps, by which they went up from the king's house to the temple.
His sons - And Zechariah among the rest, whom afterwards he ungratefully slew, chap.24:21.
Rejoiced - To see a rod sprung out of the stem of Jesse! To see what they despaired of ever seeing, a king of the house of David.
Him - The Lord, as is expressed, 2Kings 11:17.
Appointed - Or, as it is in the Hebrew, put the offices of the house of the Lord into the hand, that is, he restored the priests and Levites to the exercise of their office.
