And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men,.... Of whom, and the difference of the last number in this text from Kg1 5:15, see the notes there. See Gill on Kg1 5:15. See Gill on Kg1 5:16. . 2 Chronicles 2:3 ch2 2:3 ch2 2:3 ch2 2:3And Solomon sent to Huram king of Tyre,.... The same with Hiram, Kg1 5:1 and from whence it appears, that Huram first sent a letter to Solomon to congratulate him on his accession to the throne, which is not taken notice of here: as thou didst deal with my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein; see Ch1 14:1, even so deal with me; which words are a supplement.
