2 Tawarikh 6:42

Alkitab Terjemahan Baru

42 O Lord God, Ps. 51), but without ever apparently repenting or confessing his awful defiance of God and His explicit commands and warnings, given specifically to Solomon himself (2 Chron. 7:17-22). Possibly in this closing sentence of Solomon's prayer we detect the fallacy in the young king's thinking. He seems to be saying in substance, "O Lord God, I am Your responsibility now; it will be for You to see that my face does not turn away from You; and not for my sake, but [since my name is identified with this temple as well as Yours, You must keep my face turned toward You] for Your own sake!" God lost no unnecessary time in attempting to set the young man straight as to whose is the responsibility for sin-in his case specifically (2 Chron. 7:12, 17-22). But there is no evidence that Solomon applied it to himself; though he preached a bit to others, he seems to have considered himself exempt from obeying God's commands-an attitude which has brought disaster upon every person who has ever taken it, however great, or wise, or rich, or otherwise sufficient.">[fn] turn not away the face of [me] Your anointed one; [earnestly] remember Your good deeds, mercy, and steadfast love for David Your servant.

Bible Verse Review

1 Kings 2:16

turn not: That is, "reject not thine anointed;" or, "repulse him not," agreeably to the interpretation of this phrase in the Syriac and Arabic versions.

thine anointed: 1 Kings 1:34, Psalms 2:2, Isaiah 61:1

remember: Psalms 132:1, Isaiah 55:3, Acts 13:34

the mercies: Or, as Dr. Geddes renders, "the pious deeds of thy servant David." The Syriac has, "the good actions of thy servant.

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 8:59 - let these my words Psalms 25:6 - Remember Psalms 84:9 - the face Psalms 132:8 - Arise Psalms 132:10 - turn not

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

In Kings, a different conclusion takes the place of these verses. The document from which both writers copied contained the full prayer of dedication, which each givcs in a somewhat abbreviated form.

2 Chronicles 6:41

Thy resting place - i. e., the holy of holies. Solomon follows closely the words of David his father, spoken probably when he brought the ark into Jerusalem. See the marginal references.

2 Chronicles 6:42

Turn not away the face of thine anointed - i. e., make him not to hide his face through shame at having his prayers rejected (compare the 1 Kings 2:16 note).

The mercies of David - i. e., “God’s mercies toward David.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 6:42. Turn not away the face of thine anointed — "At least do me good; and if not for my sake, do it for thy own sake." - Jarchi.

These two last verses are not in the parallel place in 1 Kings 8:22-53. There are other differences between the two places in this prayer, but they are not of much consequence.
