1 Reyes 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:15

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:

which spake with his mouth to David my father, and hath with his hand
fulfilled it;
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 ^F24; for God did not speak with his mouth to David, but to Nathan, of him: saying; as follows.
