15<\/strong>. the Lord God of Israel<\/em> ] R.V. ‘The Lord, the<\/strong> God of Israel.’ This change, which should be constantly made, will not be further noticed. See chap. 1Ki 1:30<\/span>.<\/p>\n which spake with his mouth unto David my father<\/em> ] The allusion is to the words of 2Sa 7:5-7<\/span>, where God by the prophet Nathan forbids David to build Him a house. The prophet is regarded so entirely as the mouthpiece of Jehovah, that Solomon can use words like these both here, and in 1Ki 8:24<\/span>, ‘Thou spakest also with thy mouth.’<\/p>\n The exact words of 2 Sam. 7<\/span> are not reproduced; only their general sense is given. In 1Ki 8:18<\/span>, what was merely tacitly implied was regarded as actually said.<\/P><\/p>\n Praised be God, both for his grace in making such a promise, and for his goodness and truth in fulfilling it. <\/P> <\/p>\n And he said, blessed be the Lord God of Israel<\/strong>,…. All praise and glory, honour and blessing, be ascribed to the Lord; who had afresh shown himself to be Israel’s covenant God, by taking up his residence among them in the temple he had filled with his glory:<\/p>\n which spake with his mouth to David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it<\/strong>; who graciously promised him he should have a son that should build an house for him, and which he had by his power and providence faithfully performed; or rather which spake concerning David, so Noldius x; for God did not speak with his mouth to David, but to Nathan, of him: saying; as follows.<\/p>\n x Ebr. Concord. Part. p. 117. No. 596. So Sept.<\/p>\n (15-21) His address to the peopleapparently preceded by a silent blessing with the usual uplifting of the handsis the counterpart and expansion of the few abrupt words which he had just uttered before Godcalling them to bless God with him for the fulfilment of one part of His promise to David, in the present acceptance of the Temple. The record of that promise is given in 2Sa. 7:5-16<\/span>; 1Ch. 17:4-14<\/span>. Here it is freely cited with some variation, so far as it relates to the Temple. It is remarkable that in quoting it, David twice (1Ch. 22:8<\/span>; 1Ch. 28:3<\/span>) adds to it the instructive reason for the prohibition, that (unlike Solomon the Peaceful) he had shed blood abundantly, and had made great wars. With much grace of filial piety, Solomon refrains from mention of that reason, though there seems to be some allusion to it in his words to Hiram (1Ki. 5:3<\/span>). On the other hand, he does addwhat is not found in the earlier recordsthe declaration that, though David was not to build the Temple, he did well that it was in his heart to build it.<\/p>\n 15-21<\/strong>. <\/strong> These verses contain an appropriate narration of the most interesting facts connected with the planning and building of the temple, and without them the services of the dedication would have been incomplete. See notes on 2 Samuel 7<\/span>.<\/p>\n (15) And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, (16) Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel. (17) And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. (18) And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart. (19) Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. (20) And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. (21) And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Here is, what may be called, Solomon’s sermon, in the dedication of the temple. He calls up the attention of the people to the subject self. He first opens his mouth in blessing God, as a faithful promise making, and a promise-performing God. He next adverts to the Lord’s gracious design in the building; showing, that what Solomon had done was in perfect conformity to the Lord’s design, and to the Lord’s appointment. Hence, the king evidently meant to imply the certainty that the Lord’s hand was with him in the building, and would assuredly bless it. He then expresses his joy, in having been blest of the Lord, to finish what he had begun. And in the close of these verses, Solomon not only refers all the praise to God, but all the right of the building. The house is the Lord’s. Reader! it is truly lovely in believers, both to see the Lord’s hand in all their ways, and as thankfully to acknowledge it. Of thine own, Lord, we give thee.<\/p>\n 1Ki 8:15 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled [it], saying,<\/p>\n Ver. 15. And hath with his hand a<\/em> fulfilled.] He hath powerfully performed his promise to David. Solomon is thankful as well for the promise to his father as the performance to himself. And well he might, for the promises are precious things, 2Pe 1:4 the unsearchable riches of Christ. Eph 3:8 The patriarchs “saw the promises afar off, and embraced<\/em> b<\/em> them.” Heb 11:13 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Manu, i.e., <\/em> liberalitate sua, vel potentia sua – Vatab.<\/em> <\/p>\n b<\/em> “ . ”<\/p>\n God.
