(2) In the second day of the second month.Heb., in the second month in the second. The versions omit the repetition, which is probably a scribes error. On the second day would be expressed in Hebrew differently. Read simply, And he began to build in the second month, i.e., in Zif (or AprilMay). See 1Ki. 6:1.

It was thought an object of moment, to mark down the time also when this great work was begun. Believers in Jesus love to dwell particularly on the first temple-work building of grace in their souls. Some can trace these things more fully than others. Some, like the blind man whose eyes the Lord had opened, can hardly tell the time, or method by which the Lord began the work in their hearts. But it is a blessed thing when a poor sinner can say, One thing I know, that where, as I was blind, now I see. Reader! would you know this for yourself, whether the temple work building is begun in your heart? Ask yourself this question; Have you seen Jesus in his glory and suitableness to you as a poor sinner? When Jesus is truly seen, truly known, and truly felt, the day of conversion is arrived, the day of Jubilee is come. The God of the Hebrews hath met with us. Like Jacob, it may be said, He found him in Bethel; and there he spake with us. Hos 12:4 .
