1 Kings 8:62 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:62

And the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifice before
the Lord.
] For burnt offerings, which having been laid upon the altar, as soon as the king had done praying to God, and blessing the people, and exhorting them, fire came down from heaven, and consumed them; which showed the Lord's acceptance of the sacrifices, and was another confirmation, besides the cloud, of the Lord's well pleasedness with the temple, and of his taking possession of it to reside in it; upon which the people bowed and worshipped, and praised the Lord for his goodness and mercy, ( 2 Chronicles 7:1-3 ) .
