历代志下3参考
所罗门选择建圣殿的地方，有何特别的历史背景？
3:1 所罗门在摩利亚山上建造永久的圣殿，代替设在基遍、曾随以色列人在旷野漂流的流动式会幕。在这山上神曾阻止亚伯拉罕，杀以撒献祭（参创22:1-18）。这块地原是禾场，大卫将它买下来筑祭坛（参撒下24:15-25；代上21:22-24注释）。
所罗门在建圣殿中耗资庞大，花费的原则是甚么？今日建教会又该怎样取舍？
3章 所罗门为甚么把圣殿装饰得金碧辉煌？虽然没有人能为神建造一座配得上他的居所（2:6），这座圣殿却想要成为世上至尊荣的设计。建造的程序和巧匠所施的工，本身就已经是敬拜的行动。尽管人在简朴的教堂内也可以与神相遇、向他祷告，不过想建造美伦美奂的敬拜地方也是无可厚非的。
经文中的量度标准是怎样的？
3:3 这里所说的一肘，等于现代的52公分。以西结在异象之中所见的圣殿，就是用这个尺度。
3:10 基路伯是大能的天使。
