Solomon, having blessed the people, blessed God12. Solomon's prayer in the consecration of the temple, upon the bronze platform. When they sin against You This phrase acknowledges the inevitability of human sinfulness, a theme consistent throughout Scripture. The Bible repeatedly emphasizes that all have sinned (Romans 3:23). In the context of 2 Chronicles, Solomon is praying during the dedication of the temple, recognizing the people's propensity to sin and the need for divine forgiveness. for there is no one who does not sin and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to a land far or near Persons / Places / Events 1. SolomonThe king of Israel who is offering a prayer of dedication for the newly built temple in Jerusalem. He acknowledges human sinfulness and the need for God's mercy. 2. Israelites The people of Israel, who are the primary audience of Solomon's prayer. They are reminded of their propensity to sin and the consequences that follow. 3. God The sovereign Lord who is addressed in Solomon's prayer. He is depicted as just and merciful, responding to the sins of His people. 4. Enemies The foreign nations that may take the Israelites captive as a consequence of their sins. This reflects the historical context of Israel's interactions with surrounding nations. 5. Captivity A potential consequence of Israel's sin, where they are taken to a foreign land. This foreshadows the later Babylonian exile. Teaching Points Acknowledgment of SinRecognize that sin is a universal human condition. No one is exempt, and acknowledging this truth is the first step toward seeking God's forgiveness. Consequences of Sin Understand that sin has consequences, which can include separation from God and captivity to various forms of bondage, whether physical, spiritual, or emotional. God's Justice and Mercy Balance the understanding of God's justice with His mercy. While God is just and may allow consequences for sin, He is also merciful and ready to forgive when we repent. Prayer for Restoration Emphasize the importance of prayer in seeking restoration and forgiveness. Solomon's prayer serves as a model for how to approach God with humility and sincerity. Hope in Repentance Encourage believers that there is hope and restoration available through genuine repentance. God's desire is to restore and reconcile His people to Himself.(36) Their enemies.--An enemy. And they carry them away.--See margin. LXX., ?????????????????????? ?? ??????????????? ??????. Verses 36-39. - The matter of these verses is given fuller in the parallel (1 Kings 8:46-53). The prayer is remarkable all the more as the last of the whole series, and one so sadly ominous! The last clause of ver. 36, carrying the expression far off, as the alternative of near, throws its lurid glare of unwelcome suggestion on all the rest. No man which sinneth not. The words need the summoning of no biblical parallels, for these are so numerous. But out of the rest emphasis may be placed at least on those furnished by Solomon himself - Proverbs 20:9; Ecclesiastes 7:21; both of which are particularly sententious. Bethink themselves. The words well express, in English idiom, the literal Hebrew, as in margin, "bring back to their heart" (Deuteronomy 30:1-11). Have sinned, ... done amiss,... dealt wickedly (so Psalm 106:6; Daniel 9:5). The Authorized Version in the parallel (1 Kings 8:47) is somewhat happier in its rendering of the three verbs employed here. It seems doubtful whether these have it in them to form a climax; more probably they speak of three different directions in wrong going. The parallel is well worthy of being referred to, in its vers. 50, 51.Parallel Commentaries ...
