Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

An house of sacrifice - This expression does not elsewhere occur. Its meaning, however, is clear. God declares that Solomon’s Temple is the place whereunto all Israelites were commanded to bring their burnt-offerings and sacrifices (see Deuteronomy 12:5-6).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 7:12. The Lord appeared to Solomon — This was a second manifestation; see 1 Kings 9:2-9, and the notes there. The Targum says, "The WORD of the Lord appeared to Solomon."
