2 Chronicles 6
1. Solomon, having blessed the people, blessed God
12. Solomon's prayer in the consecration of the temple, upon the bronze platform.














(42) O Lord God.--Not in the psalm. The temple invocation is used as in the priest's blessing (Numbers 6:24-26).

Turn not away the face of thine anointed--i.e., deny not his request (1Kings 2:16). Psalm 132:10 :--

"For the sake of David Thy servant,

Turn not away the face of Thine Anointed."

The members of the couplet are transposed, and the language of the first is modified by the chronicler, so as to bring in the phrase, "the mercies of David," that is, Jehovah's mercies promised to David (Isaiah 55:3; Psalm 89:49). . . .
