Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 2:9

"even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful." — 2 Chronicles 2:9 (ASV)

Even to prepare me timber in abundance. —Rather, And they shall prepare, or, let them prepare. (A use of the infinitive, to which the chronicler is partial: see 1 Chronicles 5:1; 1 Chronicles 9:25; 1 Chronicles 13:4; 1 Chronicles 15:2; 1 Chronicles 22:5.) So Syriac, “Let them be bringing to me.”

Shall be wonderful great. —See margin; and Septuagint, μέγας καὶ ἔνδοξος , “great and glorious;” Syriac, “an astonishment” (temhâ) .
