Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the children: 1 Chronicles 9:2, Nehemiah 7:73

children of the captivity: Chal, sons of the transportation, Ezra 4:1

the dedication: 1 Kings 8:63, 2 Chronicles 7:5, 2 Chronicles 7:9, John 10:22

with joy: Ezra 6:22, Ezra 3:11, Ezra 3:12, Deuteronomy 12:7, 1 Chronicles 15:28, 2 Chronicles 7:10, 2 Chronicles 30:23, 2 Chronicles 30:26, Nehemiah 8:10, Nehemiah 12:43, Psalms 122:1, Philippians 4:4, Having set up the worship of God in this dedication, they took care to keep it up, and made the book of Moses their rule, to which they had an eye in this establishment. Though the temple service could not now be performed with so much pomp and plenty as formerly, because of their poverty, yet no doubt it was performed with as much purity and close adherence to the Divine institutions as ever. No beauty is like the beauty of holiness.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the children of Israel,.... Those of the ten tribes that remained after the body of the people were carried captive, or came with the Jews at their return:

the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity; those of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin:

kept the dedication of this house of God with joy; they set it apart for sacred use and service, with feasting and other expressions of joy and gladness, as follows.
