Melachim Alef 8:59 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:59

And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication
before the Lord
At this time:

be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night;
be continually remembered and regarded by him, that so gracious answers might always be returned to those who supplicated in this place:

that he maintain the cause of his servant;
of himself and his successors in the throne, that they may continue to possess it in peace, to the glory of God, and the good of the people:

and the cause of his people Israel at all times:
that their rights and privileges might be continued, and they supported in them; and both his cause and theirs be regarded:

as the matter shall require;
as they should stand in need of assistance, direction, and protection.

Melachim Alef 8:59 In-Context

57 Hashem Eloheinu be immanu (with us), as He was with Avoteinu; let Him not leave us, nor forsake us;

58 That He may incline levavenu (our hearts) unto Him, to walk in all his ways, and to be shomer over His mitzvot, and His chukkot, and His mishpatim, which He commanded Avoteinu.

59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made techinnah before Hashem, be kerovim (near ones) unto Hashem Eloheinu yomam valailah that He maintain the mishpat (cause) of His eved, and the mishpat of His people Yisroel at all times, as each day requires;

60 That all the peoples of ha’aretz may know that Hashem hu HaElohim and that there is none else.

61 Let your lev therefore be shalem with Hashem Eloheinu, to walk in His chukkot, to be shomer over His mitzvot, as at this day.
