1 Kings 8:15

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

The exact words of 1 Kings 8:18, what was merely tacitly implied was regarded as actually “said.”

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary
Solomon encouraged the priests, who were much astonished at the dark cloud. The dark dispensations of Providence should quicken us in fleeing for refuge to the hope of the gospel. Nothing can more reconcile us to them, than to consider what God has said, and to compare his word and works together. Whatever good we do, we must look on it as the performance of God's promise to us, not of our promises to him.
