1 Kings 8:23

And he said, Lord God of Israel , there is no God like thee [Similar words are found in Exodus 15:11 ; Psalms 86:8 , etc. They do not at all imply the existence of other gods, but are explained by other passages ( e . g ; verse 60; Deuteronomy 4:39 , "the Lord He is God and none else ;" 2 Samuel 7:22 ; 2 Samuel 22:32 ) as meaning that the God of Israel stands alone, and alone is God. It would be strange, indeed, if the people whose great peculium was the unity of the Godhead ( Deuteronomy 6:4 ; Isaiah 42:8 ) recognized other deities. Observe: Solomon begins his prayer with an act of praise ; with a recognition at once grateful and graceful of God's past mercies (cf. Psalms 65:1 , Psalms 65:2 ; Philippians 4:6 ). Exandit Dominus invocantem, quem laudantem vidit" ], in heaven above, or on earth beneath [ Joshua 2:11 ], who keepest covenant and mercy [same words in Deuteronomy 7:9 ] with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart. [cf. Deuteronomy 2:4 .]
