2 Chronicles 3: On Mount Moriah

Read 2 Chronicles 3:1-17 before you meet.

In a few lines

The house was begun on the threshing floor where the LORD answered David (3:1), and Chronicles tells what 1 Kings 6 doesn't: two cherubim whose "faces were toward the house" (3:13), and a veil of blue, purple, crimson and fine linen with cherubim (3:14), called by the tabernacle veil's own Hebrew word.

The verse to carry

“Then Solomon began to build the LORD’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.”

2 Chronicles 3:1

To talk about

  1. 1. Solomon built the LORD's house "on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite" (3:1), where the LORD had answered David by fire (1 Chronicles 21:26). What has God answered in your life that you would want to build on?

  2. 2. "He decorated the house with precious stones for beauty" (3:6). What place does beauty have in the way you worship God?

  3. 3. Solomon made a veil with cherubim (3:14), like the tabernacle's veil that separated "the holy place from the most holy" (Exodus 26:33). Hebrews speaks of "boldness to enter" (Hebrews 10:19). How do you come to God: boldly, carefully, or not at all lately?
