1 Reis 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:14

And the king turned his face about
He was before the altar, ( 1 Kings 8:22 ) , with his face to that first, and looking towards the holy and the most holy place, filled with the cloud and glory; and now he turned himself and stood with the altar behind him, and looking to the court of the people:

and blessed all the congregation of Israel;
either blessed the Lord before them, or prayed for blessings for them, or congratulated them upon the Lord's taking up his residence in the temple, which was so great an honour and favour to them:

and all the congregation of Israel stood:
ready to receive the king's blessing, and in honour of him, and reverence to the divine Being. The Jews say, none might sit in the court but the kings of the house of David.

12 Então falou Salomão: O Senhor disse que habitaria na escuridão.
13 Certamente te edifiquei uma casa para morada, assento para a tua eterna habitação.

15 E disse Salomão: Bendito seja e Senhor, Deus de Israel, que falou pela sua boca a Davi, meu pai, e pela sua mão cumpriu a palavra que disse:
16 Desde o dia em que eu tirei do Egito o meu povo Israel, não escolhi cidade alguma de todas as tribos de Israel para se edificar ali uma casa em que estivesse o meu nome; porém escolhi a Davi, para que presidisse sobre o meu povo Israel.
