L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 7:1-22

GOD'S GLORIOUS ANSWER (vv.1-3) God wonderfully demonstrated His approval of the temple and of Solomon's prayer by sending fire from heaven to consume the burnt offering and the sacrifices (spoken of in ch.5:6), and filled the temple with His glory (vv.1-2). When the children of Israel saw this. they were prostrated in lowly worship, praising the Lord, and particularly emphasising "For He is good, for His mercy endures forever" (v.3). This was a wonderful beginning of a new era in Israel's... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 7:1-22

SOLOMON ’S REIGN HIS PRAYER AND ITS ANSWER (2 Chronicles 1:1-3 ) With verses three and four compare 1 Chronicles 16:0 , and especially 1 Chronicles 16:37-40 . The tabernacle at Gibeon was the legal place for worship, but the threshing-floor on Matthew Moriah was chosen by David for the reason given (1 Chronicles 21:29 ). A comparison with the corresponding place in 1 Kings will show how this account is abbreviated as the matter was not necessary to the author’s purpose. HIS POWER AND... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Chronicles 7:1-22

The Divine Response 2 Chronicles 7:0 "Now when Solomon had made an end of praying" ( 2Ch 7:1 ). IN praying there is no end. Pray without ceasing. It is the only thing we can do endlessly, unless it be things that are vitally related to itself, as request of knowledge, love of truth, and love of God. But we end for the time being. We cannot always morally and audibly continue to pray; the poor flesh could not stand it, the brain would rebel, and call for rest. Blessed be God, there is a... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Chronicles 7:12-16

This gracious second visit of the Lord to Solomon is related, 1 Kings 9:0 . In addition to what was there observed, I only beg the Reader to remark with me how the Lord delighteth in mercy. If we read the Lord's answer with an eye to Christ, how beautiful is the paraphrase. "If to prompt my people to call upon me I withhold their comforts: If the influence of my spirit be restrained, like heaven shut up; or if I permit the enemy to distress them, like the locusts devouring the land; yet under... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Chronicles 7:12-22

The Lord's Answer to Solomon's Prayer v. 12. And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, the prayer made at the dedication of the Temple, and have chosen this place to Myself for an house of sacrifice. v. 13. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, all these being special punishments of the Lord upon the disobedience of His people at all times; v. 14. if My... read more

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
