Context — Solomon’s Riches
13So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
14Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
15The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
16Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue. 17A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.Cross References

2 Chronicles 1:15 Summary
The verse 2 Chronicles 1:15 tells us that King Solomon made silver and gold very common in Jerusalem, and cedar, a valuable wood, was as easy to find as sycamore trees in the hills. This shows how rich and prosperous Jerusalem was under Solomon's rule, similar to the prosperity God promised His people in Deuteronomy 8:13. It reminds us that God can bless us with wealth and resources, but we should always remember to use these blessings to honor Him and help others, as encouraged in verses like Matthew 25:14-30. By keeping God first and using our resources wisely, we can enjoy the blessings He gives us without letting them become idols in our lives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of silver and gold being as common as stones in Jerusalem?
This indicates a time of great prosperity and wealth in Jerusalem during King Solomon's reign, as seen in 2 Chronicles 1:15, similar to the prosperity promised in Deuteronomy 8:13 where God blesses His people with wealth.
Why is cedar compared to sycamore in this verse?
The comparison highlights the abundance of cedar, a valuable and highly prized wood, in Jerusalem, much like the abundance of the more common sycamore trees in the foothills, as stated in 2 Chronicles 1:15, reflecting the richness of the kingdom under Solomon's rule.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the Bible's teachings on wealth and material possessions?
While 2 Chronicles 1:15 describes a time of great wealth, other scriptures like 1 Timothy 6:10 remind us that the love of money can be a root of all kinds of evil, and Matthew 6:19-20 encourages storing treasures in heaven, not on earth, highlighting the need for balance and godly perspective on wealth.
What can we learn from King Solomon's accumulation of wealth about our own relationship with material possessions?
King Solomon's experience, as seen in 2 Chronicles 1:15 and elsewhere in his story, teaches us that wealth and material possessions are gifts from God, but they should not become our focus or idols, as warned in Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:7, emphasizing the importance of keeping God first in our lives.
Reflection Questions
- How does the abundance described in 2 Chronicles 1:15 reflect the blessings of God, and what are some ways I can recognize and thank God for the blessings in my own life?
- In what ways can I, like King Solomon, use the resources God has given me to glorify Him and benefit others, considering verses like Matthew 25:14-30?
- What are some potential dangers or pitfalls of accumulating wealth, as hinted at in scriptures like Luke 12:15, and how can I guard against these in my own life?
- How can remembering that all I have comes from God, as stated in James 1:17, help me maintain a healthy perspective on material possessions and wealth?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 1:15
[See comments on 2 Chronicles 1:13]
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 1:15
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:15
2 Chronicles 1:15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem [as plenteous] as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that [are] in the vale for abundance.Ver. 15. And the king made.] Heb., Gave. By giving he made it so. This was a golden age indeed.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:15
(15) Silver and gold . . . stones . . . cedar trees.—Each of these words has the definite article in the Hebrew. And gold.—Not in 1 Kings 10:27, with which the rest of the verse coincides; nor in 2 Chronicles 9:27. The Syriac omits it here also, but the other versions have it, and the phrase is a natural heightening of the hyperbole. The sycomore trees that are in the vale.—(Comp. 1 Chronicles 27:28.) The Syriac reads instead. “As the sand which is on the seashore.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 1:15
