The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 8:18

And the Lord said unto David my father [Not, perhaps, totidem verbis . The Divine approval was implied in 2 Samuel 7:11-16 , and it may have been expressed at the same time. The narratives of Scripture are necessarily greatly condensed], Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 8:19

Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house [Wordsworth observes that it was filial reverence prevented Solomon's mentioning the cause of this prohibition which, however, is mentioned with appropriate humility by David himself ( 1 Chronicles 22:8 ) ]; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. [ 2 Samuel 7:11 , 2 Samuel 7:12 . The recurrence of "the name" of the Lord is to be noticed (see 2 Samuel 7:16 , 2 Samuel 7:17 , 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 8:21

And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord [Hence its name, "the ark of the covenant" ( Exodus 34:28 ; cf. Deuteronomy 9:11 )] which he made with our forefathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt [ 1 Kings 8:9 , 1 Kings 8:16 ]. SECTION II. —The Prayer.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 8:14

Solomon had spoken the preceding words, addressed to God, with his face directed to the holy of holies. He now turned around and looked outward toward the people.

This first blessing seems to have been without speech - an inward prayer accompanied by the ordinary gesture of blessing. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 8:15

1 Kings 8:13. I have surely built thee a house to dwell in He turns his speech from them to God, as entering into the house, and expresses his desire and hope that he would continue to manifest, by such visible tokens, that he was present in it, and would, as it were, make it the place of his special and stated abode.

1 Kings 8:14. The king turned his face about From the court of the priests and the sanctuary, to the body of the congregation who were in the court designed for the people. And blessed all the congregation Probably in that form of words which God himself had prescribed, Numbers 6:23-25.

I chose no city Until David’s time; for then he did choose Jerusalem.
