Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Kings 8:62-66

Solomon’s sacrifices 8:62-66As a royal priest Solomon led the nation of priests in making an immense sacrifice to Yahweh. The sacrifices were all offerings of worship. The burnt offering represented the dedication of the worshipper’s person to God and secured forgiveness. The grain offering pictured the dedication of his work to God.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 8:63

(63) And Solomon offered.—The number here given, enormous as it is, can hardly be supposed due to any error in the text; for it is exactly reproduced in the Chronicles and by Josephus. Much explanation of it has been wasted through misunderstanding of the real difficulty involved. It is comparatively easy to conceive how such a mass of victims could be brought as offerings or consumed, when we consider the vastness of the assembled multitude from the whole of the great dominions of Solomon,... 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
