Solomon, having blessed the people, blessed God12. Solomon's prayer in the consecration of the temple, upon the bronze platform. Then the king turned This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the narrative, where King Solomon shifts his focus from the construction of the temple to addressing the people. The Hebrew root for "turned" (פנה, panah) implies a deliberate action, suggesting Solomon's intentionality in engaging with the assembly. This turning signifies a transition from the completion of a monumental task to the spiritual leadership and guidance of the nation. It reflects the king's role not just as a builder but as a shepherd of his people, emphasizing the importance of leadership that is both visionary and pastoral. and blessed the whole assembly of Israel while they were standing Turned.--Turned round (1Chronicles 10:14). Stood.--Was standing. Verse 3. - Reading between the lines, this verse shows us that the face of Solomon had been turned to the symbol of God's presence, while he addressed to him the words of our second verse, since he now faces round to the assembly of the congregation.

The impression one takes is that the blessing was, in fact, wrapt up tacitly in all that Solomon recounts, when he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, etc. (ver. 4). However, it is not impossible that, with the variation of the tense in ver. 59, the verses of 1 Kings 8:55 - 61 may contain the substance of it, if not itself.Parallel Commentaries ...
