13I have indeed built an exalted temple for you, a place for your dwelling forever. 14The king turned around and blessed the entire congregation of Israel while they were standing. He said: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel! He spoke directly to my father David, and he has fulfilled the promise by his power.

Commentaries on 1 Kings 8:15

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15The exact words of 1 Kings 8:18, what was merely tacitly implied was regarded as actually “said.”Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-21Verses 12-21 Solomon encouraged the priests, who were much astonished at the dark cloud. The dark dispensations of Providence should quicken us in fleeing for refuge to the hope of the gospel. Nothing can more reconcile us to them, than to consider what God has said, and to compare his word and works together. Whatever good we do, we must look on it as the performance of God's promise to us, not of our promises to him.Read the comment
