F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 8:12-21

the Builder’s Dedication Address 1 Kings 8:12-21 Solomon, standing on the great platform within, view of the vast, thronging multitudes, recited tie steps that had led them to that illustrious hour. His whole speech was of God’s dealings. Why do we not speak of God more often, as the most important factor in life! It is a blessed thing to trace the connection between what God has promised and what He has fulfilled, 1 Kings 8:15 . “The Lord hath performed His word that He spoke,” 1 Kings... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 8:1-66

The Temple being finished, the great ceremony of dedication commenced. The permanent link between Tabernacle and Temple was the Ark of the Covenant. With great care and impressive ceremony, they had carried the Ark over Jordan into the land. For a long time it had remained at Gilgal, and then was taken to Shiloh. Captured by the Philistines, it had brought discomfiture and defeat. For twenty years it had found a resting place at Kirjathjearim, then for three months in the house of Obed-edom,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:12-21

Solomon Speaks To The People And Explains The Basis For And Significance Of The Building Of The Temple (1 Kings 8:12-21 ). The speech that follows is an interesting one. To quite some extent Solomon’s words here read like a defence of what he was doing, and an attempt to prove that it was in line with YHWH’s will, and with the covenant that YHWH had made with His people when He delivered them out of Egypt. They reveal his own awareness of the fact that the people were not as a whole... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:20

“ And YHWH has established his word that he spoke, for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH promised, and have built the house for the name of YHWH, the God of Israel.” Then Solomon sought to convince them that the Temple was therefore based on YHWH establishing His word, on the grounds that Solomon himself had now risen up in David’s place and had sat on the throne of Israel as YHWH had promised, and had therefore built the house for the Name... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:1-66

1 Kings 8:1-Revelation : . Solomon’ s Dedication of the Temple, Prayer and Address.— This chapter is mainly Deuteronomic, being clearly written from the standpoint of one who has seen the Temple as the one national sanctuary of Israel, and has either witnessed its downfall or perceived that it was imminent. 1 Kings 8:1-: is, however, probably from the early record of how the house of Yahweh was dedicated by Solomon, of which 1 Kings 8:62-Revelation : is the continuation, the prayer of Solomon... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 8:1-66

1 Kings 8:1 . Solomon assembled the elders, after twenty years’ labour. That is, in the fourth year of his reign he began to build the temple; in seven years and a half more he finished and dedicated it; and in thirteen years more he finished his palace. Hence he devoted twenty years to architecture and fortifications. 1 Kings 8:9 . Nothing in the ark, save the two tables of stone. The copy of the law written by Moses was, it is supposed from Deuteronomy 31:26, preserved in a safe, by... read more
