Contextual Overview

1 And it came to passe, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the kings house, and all Solomons desire which hee was pleased to doe, 2 That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as hee had appeared vnto him at Gibeon. 3 And the Lord said vnto him, I haue heard thy prayer and thy supplication that thou hast made before me: I haue hallowed this house which thou hast built, to put my Name there for euer, and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 4 And if thou wilt walke before me, as Dauid thy father walked, in integritie of heart, and in vprightnesse, to doe according to all that I haue commanded thee, and wilt keepe my Statutes, and my Iudgements: 5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer, as I promised to Dauid thy father, saying, There shall not faile thee a man vpon the throne of Israel. 6 But if you shall at all turne from following me, you or your children, and will not keepe my Commandements, and my Statutes, which I haue set before you, but goe and serue other gods, and worship them: 7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I haue giuen them; and this house which I haue hallowed for my Name, will I cast out of my sight, and Israel shall bee a prouerbe, and a by-word among all people: 8 And at this house which is high, euery one that passeth by it, shalbe astonished, and shall hisse, and they shal say, Why hath the Lord done thus vnto this land, and to this house? 9 And they shall answere, Because they forsooke the Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and haue taken hold vpon other gods, and haue worshipped them, and serued them: therefore hath the Lord brought vpon them all this euill.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

The Lord appears a second time to Solomon, and assures him that

he had heard his prayer; and that he would establish his

worship for ever in that temple, and him and his successors on

the throne of Israel, provided he and they would keep his

statutes and judgments, 1-5;

but if they should transgress and forsake the Lord, then they

should be cast off, the temple itself abandoned, and their

enemies permitted to prevail over them, 6-9.

Solomon having finished the temple and the king's house, about

which he was employed twenty years, and having received

assistance from Hiram king of Tyre, he gave him in return

twenty cities in Galilee, with which he was not pleased, 10-14.
