Context of 1 Kings 8:15

13I have surely built You a magnificent House, a place for Your dwelling forever.” 14Then the king turned his face about and blessed the whole congregation of Israel while the whole congregation of Israel was standing. He said: “Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and has fulfilled it by His hand, saying: 16‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out from Egypt, I have not chosen a city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a House where My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’ 17“Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a House for the Name of Adonai, the 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
