His sacrifice of peace offerings and said: This phrase introduces Solomon's speech during the dedication of the Temple. Solomon, as king, is addressing the assembly of Israel, highlighting the importance of the occasion. This moment is a culmination of years of planning and labor, and it is significant that Solomon begins by acknowledging God. “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying, Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points God's Faithfulness to His PromisesGod is faithful to fulfill His promises, as seen in His covenant with David and its fulfillment through Solomon. This encourages believers to trust in God's promises in their own lives. The Importance of Obedience Solomon's role in building the temple highlights the importance of obedience to God's instructions. Believers are called to obey God's Word and trust in His plans. The Role of Worship in the Life of Believers The temple was a place of worship and God's presence. Today, believers are called to be living temples, offering their lives as worship to God. Generational Legacy of Faith David's faith and God's promises to him impacted Solomon and the nation of Israel. Believers are encouraged to consider the legacy of faith they are building for future generations.(15-21) His address to the people--apparently preceded by a silent blessing with the usual uplifting of the hands--is the counterpart and expansion of the few abrupt words which he had just uttered before God--calling them to bless God with him for the fulfilment of one part of His promise to David, in the present acceptance of the Temple. The record of that promise is given in 2Samuel 7:5-16; 1Chronicles 17:4-14. Here it is freely cited with some variation, so far as it relates to the Temple. It is remarkable that in quoting it, David twice (1Chronicles 22:8; 1Chronicles 28:3) adds to it the instructive reason for the prohibition, that (unlike Solomon the Peaceful) he had "shed blood abundantly, and had made great wars." With much grace of filial piety, Solomon refrains from mention of that reason, though there seems to be some allusion to it in his words to Hiram (1Kings 5:3). On the other hand, he does add--what is not found in the earlier records--the declaration that, though David was not to build the Temple, "he did well that it was in his heart" to build it.Verse 15. - And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel [1 Kings 1:48], which spake with his mouth unto [or, concerning; אֵל after verbs of speaking has the force of de (Genesis 20:2; Jeremiah 40:16; Psalm 69:27).
