WordJump to Next Caused Confirmed David Dust Earth Elohim Established Fulfilled Multitude Numerous Promise Reign Stedfast True. Word2 Chronicles 1 1. The solemn offering of Solomon at Gibeon7. Solomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God 13. Solomon's forces and wealth Now, O LORD God This opening phrase is a direct address to God, emphasizing the immediacy and urgency of Solomon's prayer. The Hebrew word for "LORD" is "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God, which signifies His eternal and unchanging nature. "God" here is "Elohim," a plural form that denotes majesty and power. Solomon acknowledges God's supreme authority and sovereignty, setting the tone for a humble and reverent petition. let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled for You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth Over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.--Over a people numerous as the dust of the earth. This last clause freely corresponds with 1Kings 3:8. (Comp. the common title of Assyrian monarchs, "king of multitudes," sar kiss?ti.) Verse 9. - Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established. This challenge on the part of Solomon, intended, without doubt, most reverently, is not given in the parallel place, and forms not only a distinctive but an interesting additional feature of the present account. It is thought by some that the "promise "here challenged is not very distinctly recorded anywhere, but surely passages like 1 Chronicles 17:12-14; 1 Chronicles 22:10; 1 Chronicles 28:6, 7 amply meet the case. See also 2 Samuel 7:12, 15. King over a people like the dust. It is noteworthy that, though the equivalent of this phrase is found in the parallel, the distinctiveness of this simile is not found there. (For the use of the simile to express a vast number, see Genesis 28:14; Numbers 23:10; Zephaniah 1:17; Zechariah 9:3.) It is not at all of frequent use in Scripture.Parallel Commentaries ...
