Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 6:21
Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, [even] from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
21. from thy dwelling place, even from heaven ] Here, as in 2Ch 6:18, Solomon refuses to regard the Temple as Jehovah’s “dwelling place.” Cp. 2Ch 2:6.

Hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven.Yea thouthou shalt hear from the place of thy dwelling, from the heavens. For from, in both places, Kings has unto, an unusual pregnant construction, which is probably original.

2Ch 6:21. Hearken to the supplication of thy people, &c. He asks not that God would help them without their praying for themselves, but that God would help them in answer to their prayers. Even Christs intercession does not supersede, but encourages our supplications.
