Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 8:1-66

Chapter 8Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, and they brought the ark of the covenant into the temple, and as they did, the glory of the Lord came and filled the temple and there was just this glorious presence of God even as did take place at the time of the dedication of the tabernacle in the wilderness.

1 Kings 8:1 . Solomon assembled the elders, after twenty years’ labour. That is, in the fourth year of his reign he began to build the temple; in seven years and a half more he finished and dedicated it; and in thirteen years more he finished his palace. Hence he devoted twenty years to architecture and fortifications. 1 Kings 8:9 . Nothing in the ark, save the two tables of stone.

1 Kings 8:22-61Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord.The dedicatory prayerNow we approach the great prayer by which the temple was dedicated. The house itself was nothing. It was but a gilded sepulchre, an elaborate and costly vacancy. First of all, therefore, we stand convinced that however much we may do technically, it can only be regarded as in a preparatory or introductory capacity. We can build the house, but we cannot supply the tenant.1. Solomon’s conception of the personality and... read more

1 Kings 8:57-60The Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers.The travail of the agesThis text plants us on the border-line between two generations. A king was dead. A king was born. Only a heart-throb divided the two reigns, but within the secrecy of that moment a new age began to be.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 8:54-61

54-61. Of this blessing and exhortation, which Solomon uttered at the close of his prayer, the writer in Chronicles makes no mention; but he adds to the prayer (2 Chronicles 6:41-42) a supplication that Jehovah would arise, and with the ark of his strength enter the holiest place; that the priests might be clothed with salvation and the saints rejoice in goodness, and that the mercies shown to David might be remembered. read more
