Gill's Notes on the Bible

And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God,.... For his worship, and for his honour and glory:

as the Lord spake unto David my father; by the prophet Nathan, 2 Samuel 7:12;

saying, thy son whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name; which was no small encouragement to Solomon to go about this work; in which he was a type of Christ, the builder of his temple, the church, see Zechariah 6:12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As the Lord spake - See the marginal references 1 Kings 7:13, and compare 1 Chronicles 22:10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 5:5. A house unto the name of the Lord — The name of God is God himself. I purpose to build a house to that infinite and eternal Being called Jehovah.
