Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying,.... The prayer recorded in the preceding chapter:

the fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; which was the token God gave of his acceptance of them, of which there had been several instances before, Leviticus 9:24, 1 Kings 18:38,

and the glory of the Lord filled the house; the glory of the Shechinah of the Lord, as the Targum, see 1 Kings 8:11.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The fire came down from heaven - As in the time of Moses on the dedication of the tabernacle Leviticus 9:24 The fact is omitted from the narrative of Kings; but omission is not contradiction.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VII

Solomon having ended his prayer, the fire of the Lord comes

down from heaven and consumes the offerings, 1.

The people and the priests see this, and glorify God, and

offer sacrifices, 2-4.

Solomon offers twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and

twenty thousand sheep; and the priests and Levites attend in

their offices, 5, 6.

He keeps the feast seven days, and the dedication of the altar

seven days, and dismisses the people, 7-11.

The Lord appears unto him by night, and assures him that he has

heard his prayer, 12-16;

promises him and his posterity a perpetual government, if they

be obedient, 17, 18;

but utter destruction should they disobey, and become idolaters,

19-22.

NOTES ON CHAP. VII

Verse 2 Chronicles 7:1. The fire came down — The cloud had come down before, now the fire consumes the sacrifice, showing that both the house and the sacrifices were accepted by the Lord.
