Context of 1 Kings 8:15

13O Lord, truly I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.” 14Then the king turned around and pronounced a blessing over the whole Israelite assembly as they stood there. He said, “The Lord God of Israel is worthy of praise because he has fulfilled what he promised my father David. 16He told David, ‘Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from all the tribes of Israel to build a temple in which to live. But I have chosen David to lead my people Israel.’ 17Now my father David had a strong desire to build a temple to honor 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
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14-16Solomon praised God for keeping his promises and blessing his people (see 2 Samuel 7:12–16; compare 2 Chronicles 6:1–11).Read the comment
