For thy name<\/B><\/I> is <\/B>in this house<\/B><\/I>] “Thy Majesty<\/I> is in this house.” Several of Kennicott’s and De Rossi’s MSS., with the Vulgate, Syriac<\/I>, and Arabic<\/I>, add nikra<\/I>, “is invoked;” Thy name is invoked in this house <\/I>– here thou dwellest, and here thou art worshipped.<\/P> <\/p>\n The sword, judgment, <\/B>or rather, the sword of judgment<\/I>, or of vengeance, i.e. war, whereby thou judgest and punishest thy people for their sins. Compare Lev 26:25<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n If when evil cometh upon us<\/strong>,…. Any calamity,<\/p>\n as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine<\/strong>, God’s four sore judgments, if by “judgment” is meant wild beasts:<\/p>\n we stand before this house<\/strong>; in the court before the holy place, and holy of holies:<\/p>\n and in thy presence, for thy name is in this house<\/strong>; called upon in it, and it was called by his name, and in which he dwelt:<\/p>\n and cry unto thee in our affliction<\/strong>; as Solomon prayed at the dedication of it:<\/p>\n then thou wilt hear and help<\/strong>; as the Lord promised, see 1Ki 8:33<\/span>.<\/p>\n (9) If when evil cometh upon us.<\/strong>A summary of part of Solomons Prayer of Dedication (2Ch. 6:24-30<\/span>). The reference to this prayer implies a confidence that it had been accepted in heaven, as the sign that followed it indicated (2Ch. 7:1-3<\/span>). Syriac, When the sanctuary is amongst us,<\/em> there will not come upon us evil, nor sword, nor judgment, &c., and we will come and stand before this house, and before Thee, because Thy name is invoked in this house; and we will come and pray before Thee in this house and thou wilt hearken to the voice of our prayer, and deliver us. The Hebrew seems to say, If there come upon us evilsword (judgment), and pestilence and faminewe will stand (i.e.,<\/em> come forward) before this house, and before Thee, for Thy name is in this house, and we will cry unto Thee out of our distress, and Thou shalt (or that Thou mayest<\/em>) hear and save. The word rendered judgment (shpht<\/em>) is not used as a noun anywhere else; and, lacking a conjunction, it spoils the symmetry of the sentence. It is probably an ancient gloss. All the versions have it; and the Vulg. renders, sword of judgment. (Comp. the Syriac in 2Ch. 20:12<\/span>, infra.<\/em>)<\/p>\n 2Ch 20:9 If, [when] evil cometh upon us, [as] the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name [is] in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.<\/p>\n Ver. 9. If when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, &c.<\/strong> ] Which is called “evil” by a specialty. “I make peace, and create evil,” i.e., <\/em> war. Isa 45:7 It is here further called a judgment by a specialty. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For thy name is in this house.<\/strong> ] And shall it be a mere name? wilt not thou afford us the true signs and effects of thy presence?<\/p>\n evil. Hebrew. raa’. App-44. <\/p>\n sword. Put by Figure of speech Metonymy (of Cause), App-6, for the execution done by it. Compare 1Ki 8:37. 1Ki 6:28. <\/p>\n Thy name = Thy presence. <\/p>\n affliction = distress. Some codices, with two early printed editions, read “distresses”. <\/p>\n when evil: 2Ch 6:28-30, 1Ki 8:33, 1Ki 8:37 <\/p>\n and in thy presence: Mat 18:20 <\/p>\n thy name: 2Ch 6:20, Exo 20:24, Exo 23:21 <\/p>\n is in this house: Several manuscripts with the Syriac, Arabic, and Vulgate, read nikra, “is invoked.” “Thy name is invoked in this house. <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ki 8:30 – when they shall Ezr 10:1 – before the house Psa 20:2 – from Psa 30:11 – turned Eze 14:19 – if I<\/p>\n 20:9 If, [when] evil cometh upon us, [as] the {e} sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name {f} [is] in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.<\/p>\n (e) Meaning war which comes by God’s just judgments for our sins.<\/p>\n (f) That is, it is here called on and you declared your presence and favour.<\/p>\n If, [when] evil cometh upon us, [as] the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name [is] in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. 9.
