the Temple Filled with Glory 1 Kings 8:1-11 When the Temple was finished it was dedicated in connection with the Feast of Tabernacles. All Israel in its most festive attire welcomed the Ark to its resting-place, with sacrifices and offerings that defied calculation. The budding rod and manna had gone from the Ark, because they belonged to a stage of experience which had passed away, just as we have to put away the things of our childhood; but the holy Law was there, 1 Kings 8:9 , because, in... 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 8:1-11

The Bringing Of The Ark Into The Temple And The Manifestation Of God’s Presence (1 Kings 8:1-11 ). The moment for which Solomon had waited had eventually arrived. The Temple itself was now fully completed and stood there in its pristine glory, and all the furniture and embellishments had been made and put in place. Now the next thing that was necessary was to bring into it all that was ‘holy’ (set apart wholly to God, and seen as uniquely His) in Israel, for he wanted his Temple to be... 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

Sacrificing sheep and oxen; either, first, In the way, David did upon the like occasion, 2 Samuel 6:13. Or, secondly, When the ark was come into the priests’ court, where the altar stood, whence it was speedily to be conveyed to that place where the people could never behold it more. Or rather, thirdly, When the ark was seated in its place; for although they might in the way or passage offer some sacrifices, as David did; yet that was not a proper season to offer so many sacrifices as could not... read more

THE DEDICATION OF THE TEMPLECRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—In the Vatican Sept. this chapter commences: And it came to pass when Solomon had made an end of building the house of the Lord, and his own house, after twenty years, then Solomon, &c.; but no other authority sustains the addition. Eleven months elapsed between the completion of the Temple and its dedication; it being finished in the eighth month (chap. 1 Kings 6:38), and opened in the seventh month of the following year (1 Kings... read more

Chapter 8Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, and they brought the ark of the covenant into the temple, and as they did, the glory of the Lord came and filled the temple and there was just this glorious presence of God even as did take place at the time of the dedication of the tabernacle in the wilderness. Now again God's presence, the Shekinah glory of God, filling the temple.And Solomon there offered his prayer of dedication unto God. And this dedicatory... 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
