1 Kings 8:56 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:56

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people
Israel, according, to all that he promised
&c.] A land of rest, and rest in the land from all enemies; see ( Deuteronomy 12:9 Deuteronomy 12:10 ) ,

there hath not failed one word of all his good promises, which he
promised by the hand of Moses his servant:
so Joshua observed a little before his death, ( Joshua 23:14 ) to which Solomon seems to have respect; and who lived to see a greater accomplishment of the gracious promises of God, and his faithfulness therein, both in the times of his father David, and his own.

54 When Shlomo had finished praying all this prayer and plea to ADONAI, he got up from in front of the altar of ADONAI, where he had been kneeling with his hands spread out toward heaven,

55 stood up, and raised his voice to bless the whole community of Isra'el. He said,

56 "Blessed be ADONAI, who has given rest to his people Isra'el, in accordance with everything he promised. Not one word has failed of his good promise, which he made through Moshe his servant.

57 May ADONAI our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors. May he never leave us or abandon us.

58 In this way he will incline our hearts toward him, so that we will live according to his ways and observe his mitzvot, laws and rulings which he ordered our fathers to obey.
