Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:13

I have surely built thee a house - He was now fully convinced that the thing pleased God, and that he had taken this place for his settled habitation. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:14

Blessed all the congregation - Though this blessing is not particularly stated, yet we may suppose that it was such as the high priest pronounced upon the people: "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee! The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee! The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace!" (see Numbers 6:24-26 ;), for Solomon seems now to be acting the part of the high priest. But he may have in view more particularly the conduct of Moses,... read more

Since the day , etc. - Mention is here made, says Dr. Kennicott, of some one place and some one person preferred before all others; and the preference is that of Jerusalem to other places, and of David to other men. In consequence of this remark, we shall see the necessity of correcting this passage by its parallel in 2 Chronicles 6:5 , 2 Chronicles 6:6 , where the thirteen Hebrew words now lost in Kings are happily preserved. Let us compare the passages: - 1 Kings 2 Chronicles... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:21

Wherein is the covenant of the Lord - As it is said, 1 Kings 8:9 , that there was nothing in the ark but the two tables of stone, consequently these are called the Covenant, i.e., a sign of the covenant; as our Lord calls the cup the new covenant in his blood, that is, the sign of the new covenant: for This is my body implies, This is the sign or emblem of my body. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 8:13

I have surely built [Heb. to build, I have built ] thee a house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in forever. [The temple was primarily, as already remarked, a shrine for the ark, between the cherubim of the mercy seat of which God dwelt. This was a מָכוֹן (from כוּן , statuit ), a settled place. The tabernacle was but a poor and transitory abode, partaking of the frailty of the shepherd's tent ( Isaiah 38:12 ). For עוֹלָמִים ( αἰῶνες ), cf. Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 8:14

And the king turned his face about [He had been earnestly gazing toward the house where the cloud appeared. He now faced the congregation] and blessed [This word here, and in 1 Kings 8:55 , is used somewhat loosely. The blessing was in both cases addressed to God. The Hebrew king was not authorized to bless the people—that was the prerogative of the priests ( Numbers 6:23 ; cf. Le Numbers 9:22 ), and he is only said to bless here as felicitating, as wishing them a blessing. Dean... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 8:15

And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel [ 1 Kings 1:48 ], which spake with his mouth unto [or, concerning ; אֵל after verbs of speaking has the force of de ( Genesis 20:2 ; Jeremiah 40:16 ; Psalms 69:27 ). David my father [The words were really spoken to Nathan], and hath with his hand [ i.e; power; cf. Job 34:20 ; Acts 4:28 ; Acts 13:11 ; Ezra 7:6 ] fulfilled it [the spoken word He has fulfilled in deed], saying , [The reference is to 2 Samuel... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 8:16

Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house, that my name might be therein [The chronicler adds here, "Neither chose I any man to be ruler," etc. Probably our account comes nearer to the words actually spoken. The speech in the Chronicles looks as if it had been somewhat amplified, though it only completes the sense (Rawlinson)], but I chose David to be over my people Israel. [Cf. Psalms 78:70 . This... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 8:17-19

The Unfulfilled Purposes of Life. Men often take credit to themselves for the designs of others. An inventor is forgotten, having died in obscurity, while others make fortunes from that secret which he won by the sacrifices of ease, strength, and time. [Give other examples of the non-recognition by men of purposes and schemes which were unfulfilled by their originators.] Solomon showed himself to be truthful and magnanimous when, in the presence of his people, he ascribed to his father the... read more
