4 (2 Chronicles 1:3-6). A Token of Earnest Desire—These sacrifices were offered by Solomon and his men in positions of trust, not as a formal ceremony, but as a token of their earnest desire for special help. They knew that they were insufficient, in their own strength, for the responsibilities entrusted to them. Solomon and his associates longed for quickness of mind, for largeness of heart, for tenderness of spirit (The Review and Herald, October 19, 1905).{2BC 1025.6}

4 (2.Krøn. 1,3-6). Et tegn på et alvorligt ønske. - Disse ofre opsendte Salomon og hans mænd i betroede stillinger, ikke som en formel ceremoni, men som et tegn på deres alvorlige ønsker om særlig hjælp. De vidste at de var utilstrækkelige, i deres egen styrke, for de ansvar de var blevet betroet. Salomon og hans venner længes efter at få opildnet sindet, efter storsindethed, efter en øm ånd. (RH 19. okt., 1905).
