1 Kings 8:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:20

And the Lord hath performed his word that he spake
To David, concerning his son's building the temple:

and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne
of Israel, as the Lord promised;
succeeded him in the kingdom:

and have built an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel;
the temple he had now finished; and thus the promise to David was punctually fulfilled, that he should have a son that should succeed him in the throne, and build the house of the Lord.
