1 Kings 8:19

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

¹²Then Solomon said: "The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud. ¹³I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever." ¹⁴And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all ¹⁵and said: "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying, ¹⁶'Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.' ¹⁷Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel. ¹⁸But the LORD said to my father David, 'Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart. ¹⁹Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.'²⁰Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel. ²¹And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Nevertheless, thou shall not build the house,.... Which is implied in the question in 2 Samuel 7:5

but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name; which is expressed in 2 Samuel 7:12.
