Contextual Overview

⁴² then God left them, and abandon'd them to the worship of the celestial army; as it is written in the book of the prophets , "O ye house of Israel, is it to me that ye have offered victims, and sacrifices, for the space of forty years in the wilderness? ⁴³ on the contrary, ye carried the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: wherefore I will transport you beyond Babylon." ⁴⁴ our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, ordering Moses to make it according to the model that he had seen. ⁴⁵ which our fathers and Joshua having receiv'd, they carry'd it into the territory of those nations whom God drove out upon their arrival: where it staid to the time of David, who was favoured by God, ⁴⁶ and desired to have a settled tabernacle for the God of Jacob. ⁴⁷ it was Solomon however that built him a temple. ⁴⁸ altho' the most high does not dwell in temples made with hands; as the prophet said , "heaven is my throne, ⁴⁹ and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? ⁵⁰ hath not my hand made all these things?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Solomon built him an house. Though David was so set upon it, and made such large provisions for it, he was not to be the man that should build it, he having been greatly concerned in wars, and in the effusion of blood; but Solomon his son, who enjoyed much peace, was the person designed for this work, and who did accomplish it; of which there is a large account in the 1 Kings 6:1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But Solomon ... - Built the temple. David was not permitted to do it because he had been a man of war, 1 Chronicles 22:8. He prepared the principal materials for the temple, but Solomon built it, 1 Chronicles 22:0: Compare 1 Kings 6:0.
