O Gott, Herr , weise nicht ab das Angesicht deines Gesalbten! Gedenke der Gnaden, die du deinem Knechte David verheißen hast!
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
1 Kings 2:16
turn not: That is, "reject not thine anointed;" or, "repulse him not," agreeably to the interpretation of this phrase in the Syriac and Arabic versions.
thine anointed: 1 Kings 1:34, Psalms 2:2, Isaiah 61:1
remember: Psalms 132:1, Isaiah 55:3, Acts 13:34
the mercies: Or, as Dr. Geddes renders, "the pious deeds of thy servant David." The Syriac has, "the good actions of thy servant.
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 8:59 - let these my words Psalms 25:6 - Remember Psalms 84:9 - the face Psalms 132:8 - Arise Psalms 132:10 - turn not
Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In Kings, a different conclusion takes the place of these verses. The document from which both writers copied contained the full prayer of dedication, which each givcs in a somewhat abbreviated form.
2 Chronicles 6:41
Thy resting place - i. e., the holy of holies. Solomon follows closely the words of David his father, spoken probably when he brought the ark into Jerusalem. See the marginal references.
2 Chronicles 6:42
Turn not away the face of thine anointed - i. e., make him not to hide his face through shame at having his prayers rejected (compare the 1 Kings 2:16 note).
The mercies of David - i. e., “God’s mercies toward David.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 6:42. Turn not away the face of thine anointed — "At least do me good; and if not for my sake, do it for thy own sake." - Jarchi.
These two last verses are not in the parallel place in 1 Kings 8:22-53. There are other differences between the two places in this prayer, but they are not of much consequence.
