Solomon's Additional Accomplishments
12At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico. 13He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts— the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. 14In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.…

He observed the daily requirement for offerings
This phrase highlights Solomon's commitment to maintaining the sacrificial system as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. The Hebrew root for "observed" is "שָׁמַר" (shamar), which means to keep, guard, or observe. This indicates a diligent and faithful adherence to God's commands. Solomon's observance underscores the importance of regular worship and dedication to God, reflecting a life centered around divine ordinances.

according to the commandment of Moses
The reference to "the commandment of Moses" points to the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, which contain the laws given by God to Israel through Moses. This phrase emphasizes the continuity of worship practices from the time of Moses to Solomon's reign. It underscores the authority of the Mosaic Law as the foundation for Israel's religious life and highlights the importance of obedience to God's revealed will.

for Sabbaths, New Moons
"Sabbaths" and "New Moons" refer to specific times set apart for worship and offerings. The Sabbath, observed weekly, is a day of rest and spiritual reflection, rooted in the creation narrative where God rested on the seventh day. The "New Moons" were monthly observances marking the beginning of a new month in the Hebrew calendar. These regular observances remind believers of the rhythm of worship and the importance of setting aside time for God in the midst of daily life.

and the three annual appointed feasts
The "three annual appointed feasts" are significant pilgrimage festivals in the Jewish calendar. These feasts were times of communal gathering, celebration, and remembrance of God's provision and deliverance. They served to unite the people of Israel in worship and reinforce their identity as God's chosen people.

the Feast of Unleavened Bread
The "Feast of Unleavened Bread" is closely associated with Passover, commemorating Israel's deliverance from Egypt. The absence of leaven symbolizes purity and separation from sin. This feast serves as a reminder of God's redemptive power and faithfulness, encouraging believers to live lives of holiness and gratitude.

the Feast of Weeks
Also known as Pentecost, the "Feast of Weeks" occurs fifty days after Passover. It celebrates the firstfruits of the wheat harvest and is a time of thanksgiving for God's provision. This feast also commemorates the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, highlighting the connection between God's provision and His covenant with His people.

and the Feast of Tabernacles
The "Feast of Tabernacles," or Sukkot, is a joyful celebration of God's provision during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. It involves dwelling in temporary shelters, reminding the people of their dependence on God. This feast points to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises and the hope of eternal dwelling with Him.

(13) Even after a certain rate every day.--Literally, and with a day's matter on a day (Leviticus 23:37) they had to offer (infinitive construct, as at 1Chronicles 13:4; 1Chronicles 15:2), or, perhaps, he would offer.

The solemn feasts.--Literally, set seasons, viz., the three great festivals whose designations follow. (The form mo'adoth for mo'adim occurs here only.)
