Charles Ellicott Commentary
"so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of God." — 2 Chronicles 5:14 (ASV)
House of God. — In Kings, “house of the Lord.” See 1 Kings 8:11 and 2 Chronicles 7:2, below.
Stand to minister. — Take their places, or approach to minister (2 Chronicles 6:12). The Syriac adds here, “Ended is the first half of the Chronicles.” Before 2 Chronicles 6:0, it writes, “The second half of the Book of Chronicles.”
