1 Reyes 8:23 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:23

And he said, Lord God of Israel
Their covenant God and Father, whereby he was distinguished from all the gods of the Gentiles:

there is no god like thee; in heaven above or on earth beneath;
none among the angels in heaven, nor among kings and civil magistrates on earth, who both are sometimes called "Elohim" gods; but only in a figurative sense, and not to be compared with the one only true God, for the perfection of his nature, or the works of his hands:

who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee
with all their heart;
performs his promises, by which he both declares his mercy or goodness and his faithfulness to such who walk before him, in his ways, and according to his word, in the sincerity and uprightness of their hearts.

1 Reyes 8:23 In-Context

21 Y he puesto allí un lugar para el arca, en la cual está el pacto del SEÑOR que El hizo con nuestros padres cuando los trajo de la tierra de Egipto.
22 Entonces Salomón se puso delante del altar del SEÑOR en presencia de toda la asamblea de Israel y extendió las manos al cielo.
23 Y dijo: Oh SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, no hay Dios como tú ni arriba en los cielos ni abajo en la tierra, que guardas el pacto y muestras misericordia a tus siervos que andan delante de ti con todo su corazón,
24 que has cumplido con tu siervo David mi padre lo que le prometiste; ciertamente has hablado con tu boca y lo has cumplido con tu mano como sucede hoy.
25 Ahora pues, oh SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, cumple con tu siervo David mi padre lo que le prometiste, diciendo: "No te faltará quien se siente en el trono de Israel, con tal que tus hijos guarden su camino para andar delante de mí como tú has andado delante de mí."
