Contextual Overview

1 After King Solomon had finished building the Temple and the palace and everything else he wanted to build, 2 the Lord appeared to him again, as he had in Gibeon. 3 The Lord said to him, "I have heard your prayer. I consecrate this Temple which you have built as the place where I shall be worshiped forever. I will watch over it and protect it for all time. 4 If you will serve me in honesty and integrity, as your father David did, and if you obey my laws and do everything I have commanded you, 5 I will keep the promise I made to your father David when I told him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants. 6 But if you or your descendants stop following me, disobey the laws and commands I have given you, and worship other gods, 7 then I will remove my people Israel from the land that I have given them. I will also abandon this Temple which I have consecrated as the place where I am to be worshiped. People everywhere will ridicule Israel and treat her with contempt. 8 This Temple will become a pile of ruins, and everyone who passes by will be shocked and amazed. ‘Why did the Lord do this to this land and this Temple?' they will ask. 9 People will answer, ‘It is because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt. They gave their allegiance to other gods and worshiped them. That is why the Lord has brought this disaster on them.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord,.... Which was done in seven years, 1 Kings 6:38.

and the king's house; his own palace, which was finished in thirteen years, 1 Kings 7:1,

and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do; all his other buildings, the house for Pharaoh's daughter, the house of the forest of Lebanon, and may include his vineyards, gardens, orchards, and pools of water, made for his pleasure, Ecclesiastes 2:4 in which he succeeded and prospered, 2 Chronicles 7:11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IX

The Lord appears a second time to Solomon, and assures him that

he had heard his prayer; and that he would establish his

worship for ever in that temple, and him and his successors on

the throne of Israel, provided he and they would keep his

statutes and judgments, 1-5;

but if they should transgress and forsake the Lord, then they

should be cast off, the temple itself abandoned, and their

enemies permitted to prevail over them, 6-9.

Solomon having finished the temple and the king's house, about

which he was employed twenty years, and having received

assistance from Hiram king of Tyre, he gave him in return

twenty cities in Galilee, with which he was not pleased, 10-14.

Solomon's levies, buildings, and the persons employed, 15-23.

Pharaoh's daughter comes to the city of David, 24.

He sacrifices thrice a year at the temple, 25.
