Contextual Overview

12 Then Solomon said, "The Lord said he would live in a dark cloud. 13 Lord , I have truly built a wonderful Temple for you—a place for you to live forever." 14 While all the Israelites were standing there, King Solomon turned to them and blessed them. 15 Then he said, "Praise the Lord , the God of Israel. He has done what he promised to my father David. The Lord said, 16 ‘Since the time I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel where a temple will be built for me. But I have chosen David to lead my people Israel.' 17 "My father David wanted to build a temple for the Lord , the God of Israel. 18 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘It was good that you wanted to build a temple for me. 19 But you are not the one to build it. Your son, who comes from your own body, is the one who will build my temple.' 20 "Now the Lord has kept his promise. I am the king now in place of David my father. Now I rule Israel as the Lord promised, and I have built the Temple for the Lord , the God of Israel. 21 I have made a place there for the Ark, in which is the Agreement the Lord made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I have surely built thee an house to dwell in,.... Turning himself from the priests and people, he quieted with a few words, he addressed the Lord; having built an house for him, for his worship and glory, with this view, that he might dwell in it, he was now, by the above token, fully assured it would be an habitation for him:

a settled place for thee to abide in for ever; which is observed in distinction from the tabernacle of Moses, which was often removed from place to place, otherwise this did not continue for ever; though Solomon might hope it would, at least unto the times of the Messiah; and indeed such a building on this spot, for such use, did continue so long, excepting the interval of the seventy years' captivity in Babylon.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 8:13. I have surely built thee a house — He was now fully convinced that the thing pleased God, and that he had taken this place for his settled habitation.
