Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 2:4

"Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is [an ordinance] for ever to Israel." — 2 Chronicles 2:4 (ASV)

I build. — Am about to build (bôneh).

To the name of the Lord. — 1 Kings 3:2; 1 Chronicles 16:35; 1 Chronicles 22:7.

To dedicate. — Or, consecrate. (1 Kings 9:3; 1 Kings 9:7.) The italicized and should be omitted, as the following words define the purpose of the dedication, namely, for burning before him, etc. Compare to the Vulgate: “Ut consecrem eam ad adolendum incensum coram illo.” (Exodus 30:7–8.)

And for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings. — In Hebrew, this is loosely connected with the verb translated as to burn, as part of its object: for offering before him incense of spices and a continual pile (of shewbread) and burnt offerings. (Leviticus 24:8; Numbers 28:4.)

On the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts. — 1 Chronicles 23:31. “Solemn feasts:” set seasons. These special sacrifices are prescribed in Numbers 28:9 to Numbers 29:40.

This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. — Literally, for ever this is (is obligatory) upon Israel, namely, this ordinance of offerings. (Compare to the similar phrase in 1 Chronicles 23:31; and the formula, “a statute for ever,” so common in the Law, Exodus 12:14; Exodus 29:9.)
