Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 2 Chronicles 7:11-22

δ. Revelation of the Lord to Solomon on the Completion of the Temple and his House 2 Chronicles 7:11-222 Chronicles 7:11.And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house; and in all that came into Solomon’s heart to do in the house of the Lord, and in his 12own house, he succeeded. And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. 13If I shut up heaven and there be no rain, or if I... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 7:1-22

As the ceremonies had begun with sacrifice and song, so they closed, and it is quite easy to realize how "joyful and glad of heart" the people were as they dispersed. Had only the king and people remained on the high altitude on which they stood that day, their history would have been very different. How deeply we should realize the awful truth, that even in the midst of such high experience the seeds of evil may already be at work in our life. Solomon's greatest work now being completed, God... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 2 Chronicles 7:11-22

Hindrances to Prayer 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Some one has said that prayer is the Christian's vital breath, the Christian's native air. This should be true. We fear, however, that it is not the case with many a believer because there are many prayerless saints. Even among those who do pray there are, alas, too many whose prayers are hindered, and they never reach the throne of God. Our Scripture lesson today is God's response to Solomon after the prayer which Solomon had... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Chronicles 7:1-22

CRITICAL NOTES.] This chapter, parallel with 1 Kings 8:62; 1 Kings 9:9, records acceptance of consecrated temple by fire (2 Chronicles 7:1-10); and answer given by the Lord to Solomon (2 Chronicles 7:11-22).2 Chronicles 7:1-10.—Acceptance of temple by fire. This not mentioned in Kings, which creates difficulty. “What it is important to bear in mind is—1. That omissions are not contradictions; and 2. That they occur constantly in all historical writers, and are frequently quite unaccountable”... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 7:1-22

Chapter 7And when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house ( 2 Chronicles 7:1 ).It's a reminder of the dedication of the tabernacle in the wilderness where the fire of God came down and kindled the coals upon the altar and consumed the sacrifices. And the glory of God filled the tabernacle in the wilderness. And now the same thing happened as God's glory fills the temple.And... read more
