13I certainly have built you a high temple, a home for you to live in permanently.” 14Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel while they were standing. “Thanks be to the Lord God of Israel. With his mouth he made a promise to my father David; with his hand he carried it out.

But now I’ve chosen David to rule my people Israel.’ 17“My father David had his heart set on building a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

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
