Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Kings 8:12-21

Solomon’s address to the people 8:12-21God previously said He would dwell in the cloudy pillar (Leviticus 16:2). Solomon hoped God would now dwell in the temple forever (i.e., from then on).Solomon emphasized the desire of David’s heart to build the temple (1 Kings 8:17-18). God raised up Solomon to do that, as He had promised. The temple was a house for the reputation (name) of Yahweh; it made a statement about Him. "Name" occurs 14 times in 1 Kings 8:16-20. The Mosaic Covenant was the basis... read more

(14) And the king.—We are told in the book of Chronicles (2 Chronicles 6:13) that the king stood on a “brasen scaffold” three cubits high, in the midst of the court before the altar of sacrifice, so that he could alternately turn towards the Temple and towards the people in the outer court. read more

Solomon's Temple 1 Kings 8:11 The whole of this chapter is taken up with the account of the consummation of Solomon's magnum opus. The great work of his life, for the accomplishment of which he had been called to the throne, was the building of the temple. It was the sacred task bequeathed to him by his father David the cherished dream of David's later years, for which he had prepared with all his might. I. I read the account of the elaborate and magnificent preparations for the temple and... read more

THE GRADUAL GROWTH OF THE LEVITIC RITUAL1 Kings 8:1-66"Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice."- 1 Samuel 15:22BEFORE we enter on the subject of the Temple worship, it is necessary to emphasize a fact which will meet us again and again in many forms as we consider the history of the Chosen People: It is the amazing ignorance which seems to have prevailed among them for centuries as to the most central and decisive elements of nearly the whole of the Mosaic law as we now read it in the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:1-66

THE ARK AND TABERNACLE FURNITURE (vs.1-13) The temple being completed, there was one matter of importance remaining. Thus, for the bringing of the ark to the temple Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and the heads of tribes (v.1). The ark is the symbol of Christ as the Sustainer of the throne of God (the mercy seat), and it had dwelt in tents for many years, speaking of Christ being a Sojourner with His people until the day when He will take His rightful throne in the millennial kingdom.... read more

DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLE THE TIME (1 Kings 8:1-2 ) Since the temple was completed in the eighth month of the previous year (1 Kings 6:38 ) and not dedicated until the seventh of the following, how shall we explain the interval? The reason usually assigned is that the king waited for the feast of tabernacles in the fall when one of the greatest assemblies took place, and for this purpose the most appropriate. THE GRAND PROCESSION (1 Kings 8:3-9 ) Observe who were the leading actors (1... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 8:1-66

The Dedication of the Temple 1 Kings 8:0 IT is remarkable in connection with the dedication of the temple how the leading part was taken throughout by king Solomon. One would have thought that in the dedication of a sanctuary the leading men would have been the priests, Levites, scribes, and other persons distinctively identified with religious functions and responsibilities. We find, however, that exactly the contrary is the case. The priest occupied a second and tributary position, but it is... read more
