TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:14-35 The focus shifts to the Temple interior. While the Temple site is not mentioned here, the Chronicler located it at the former threshing floor of Araunah (1 Chr 21:18-25; 2 Chr 3:1). This site is traditionally thought to be the location of Mount Moriah (Gen 22:2). Solomon’s Temple was in the northeastern corner of Jerusalem (now called the “old city”) in the area now associated with the Dome of the Rock.
