Gill's Notes on the Bible

So there was great joy in Jerusalem,.... Not merely carnal, expressed in eating and drinking, and making merry with one another, but spiritual, on account of the restoration of temple service, and the feasts of the Lord:

for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there was not the like in Jerusalem; not the like joy, so spiritual, sincere, and hearty; nor such a number of persons rejoicing together on such an occasion; nor for so many days together, which were as many as at the dedication of the temple by Solomon.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Since the time of Solomon - Compare 2 Chronicles 7:8-10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 30:26. Since the time of Solomon - there was not the like in Jerusalem. — For from that time the ten tribes had been separated from the true worship of God, and now many of them for the first time, especially from Asher, Issachar, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Zebulun, joined to celebrate the passover.
