2 Tawarikh 6:42

Bahasa Indonesia Sehari-hari

42 O Lord God, Ps. 51), but without ever apparently repenting or confessing his awful defiance of God and His explicit commands and warnings, given specifically to Solomon himself (2 Chron. 7:17-22). Possibly in this closing sentence of Solomon's prayer we detect the fallacy in the young king's thinking. He seems to be saying in substance, "O Lord God, I am Your responsibility now; it will be for You to see that my face does not turn away from You; and not for my sake, but [since my name is identified with this temple as well as Yours, You must keep my face turned toward You] for Your own sake!" God lost no unnecessary time in attempting to set the young man straight as to whose is the responsibility for sin-in his case specifically (2 Chron. 7:12, 17-22). But there is no evidence that Solomon applied it to himself; though he preached a bit to others, he seems to have considered himself exempt from obeying God's commands-an attitude which has brought disaster upon every person who has ever taken it, however great, or wise, or rich, or otherwise sufficient.">[fn] turn not away the face of [me] Your anointed one; [earnestly] remember Your good deeds, mercy, and steadfast love for David Your servant.

¹² And the king stoode before the aulter of the Lorde in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and stretched out his handes: ¹³ (For now Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of fyue cubites long, and fyue cubites brode, and three of heyght, and had set it in the middes of the great courte, and vpon it he stoode and kneeled downe vpon his knees before al the congregation of Israel, and stretched out his handes towarde heauen,) ¹⁴ And sayde: O Lorde God of Israel, there is no god like thee in heauen and earth, which kepest couenaunt & shewest mercie vnto thy seruauntes that walke before thee with al their heartes. ¹⁵ Thou whiche hast kept with thy seruaunt Dauid my father the thinges that thou promisedst him, thou saydest it with thy mouth, & hast fulfilled it with thyne handes, as it is to see this day. ¹⁶ And nowe Lorde God of Israel, kepe with thy seruaunt Dauid my father the thinges that thou promisedst him, saying, Thou shalt in my sight not be without a man that shall sit vpon the seate of Israel, so that thy children take heede to their wayes to walke in my lawe, as thou hast walked before me. ¹⁷ And nowe Lord God of Israel, let thy saying be true whiche thou spakest vnto thy seruaunt Dauid. ¹⁸ (And wil God in verie deede dwel with men on earth?

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.
