F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 8:54-66

Petition and Sacrifice 1 Kings 8:54-66 The man, as we have seen, who kneels most humbly before God is empowered to bless the people in God’s name. What an august and noble testimony the king bore: “There hath not failed one word of all His good promise,” 1 Kings 8:56 . Joshua had said that before Solomon, Joshua 23:14 . Myriads have borne similar witness, and, as we are passing hence, we shall say the same. We have failed, but not God; we have left Him, but He has never cast us away. The... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 8:1-66

The Temple being finished, the great ceremony of dedication commenced. The permanent link between Tabernacle and Temple was the Ark of the Covenant. With great care and impressive ceremony, they had carried the Ark over Jordan into the land. For a long time it had remained at Gilgal, and then was taken to Shiloh. Captured by the Philistines, it had brought discomfiture and defeat. For twenty years it had found a resting place at Kirjathjearim, then for three months in the house of Obed-edom,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:22-62

Solomon’s Prayer Of Dedication Of The Temple (1 Kings 8:22-62 ). Having, as he hoped, reconciled the people to having the Temple in Jerusalem as their Central Sanctuary, Solomon now reminded God of His covenant, and of His covenant love, admitted that the Temple that he had built could not really contain the God of Heaven and earth, the One Whom even the Heaven of heavens could not contain, and prayed that God would bless them as a result of their having their Temple. He asked Him to listen... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:55-62

Solomon’s Closing Blessing Of The People (1 Kings 8:55-62 ). In his first blessing (1 Kings 8:14-21), prior to his major prayer, Solomon had been concerned to establish the credentials of the Temple. Now, however, his concern was for the spiritual life of the people in a blessing which to begin with clearly echoes the last part of the Book of Joshua. Like Joshua he was calling on them once again to renew the covenant (see Joshua 24:0). He consequently called on YHWH not to forsake them but to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:57

“ YHWH our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us, that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.” Solomon then expressed the heartfelt desire that YHWH would be with them as His people. ‘May YHWH our God be with us as He was with our fathers’. His hope was based on the evidence of YHWH’s faithfulness through history. This idea that YHWH... read more

1 Kings 8:1-Revelation : . Solomon’ s Dedication of the Temple, Prayer and Address.— This chapter is mainly Deuteronomic, being clearly written from the standpoint of one who has seen the Temple as the one national sanctuary of Israel, and has either witnessed its downfall or perceived that it was imminent. 1 Kings 8:1-: is, however, probably from the early record of how the house of Yahweh was dedicated by Solomon, of which 1 Kings 8:62-Revelation : is the continuation, the prayer of Solomon... read more
