The invocation "arise" is reminiscent of the Israelites' journey in the wilderness, where the Ark of the Covenant would lead them (<a href="/numbers/10-35.htm">Numbers 10:35</a>). It signifies a transition from a temporary dwelling to a permanent one, symbolizing God's readiness to dwell among His people.and enter Your resting place, The "resting place" refers to the newly built temple in Jerusalem, which Solomon dedicated as a permanent dwelling for God's presence. This concept of rest is significant in biblical theology, symbolizing peace and completion. It echoes the rest God took after creation (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2</a>) and foreshadows the ultimate rest believers find in Christ (<a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>).You and the ark of Your might. The Ark of the Covenant represents God's covenant with Israel and His mighty presence among them. It contained the tablets of the Law, Aaron's rod, and manna, symbolizing God's guidance, authority, and provision. The ark's presence in the temple signifies God's power and faithfulness to His promises, paralleling Christ as the fulfillment of the Law and the embodiment of God's presence (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>).May Your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, The clothing of priests with salvation suggests a divine empowerment and sanctification for their service. In the Old Testament, priests wore specific garments for their duties (Exodus 28), symbolizing purity and dedication. Salvation here implies deliverance and righteousness, pointing to the New Testament concept of believers being clothed in Christ's righteousness (<a href="/galatians/3-27.htm">Galatians 3:27</a>).and may Your godly ones rejoice in goodness. The "godly ones" refers to the faithful followers of God, often called saints. Their rejoicing in goodness highlights the joy and blessings that come from living in accordance with God's will. This joy is a recurring theme in Scripture, seen in the Psalms and the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to rejoice in the Lord always (<a href="/philippians/4-4.htm">Philippians 4:4</a>). The goodness here can be seen as the blessings and favor of God, ultimately fulfilled in the goodness of Christ's redemptive work.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a> The king of Israel who built the temple and is offering this prayer of dedication. 2. <a href="/topical/l/lord_god.htm">LORD God</a> The covenant name of God, Yahweh, who is being invoked to dwell in the temple. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_ark_of_your_strength.htm">The Ark of Your Strength</a> Refers to the Ark of the Covenant, symbolizing God's presence and power among His people. 4. <a href="/topical/p/priests.htm">Priests</a> The Levitical priests who serve in the temple, representing the people before God. 5. <a href="/topical/g/godly_ones.htm">Godly Ones</a> The faithful followers of God, also known as the saints, who are called to rejoice in His goodness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence_among_his_people.htm">God's Presence Among His People</a> The temple was a physical symbol of God's dwelling with Israel.

It would seem that the chronicler selected them as forming a more natural and appropriate conclusion to the Prayer of Dedication than that which he found in the older account. The aptness of the quotation may be admitted, without assuming that "for want of this summons to take possession of the sanctuary, the point of the whole prayer is wanting in Kings" (Z?ckler). The peroration of <a href="/context/1_kings/8-50.htm" title="And forgive your people that have sinned against you, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against you, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:">1Kings 8:50-53</a> is quite natural, though different; the closing thoughts being a return to those with which the prayer began, so that the prayer forms a well-rounded whole, and the suggestion of a lacuna is out of place. There is no difficulty in this view; the difficulty lies rather in maintaining the originality of these verses here. (Comp. the free adaptation of several late Psalms in the Hymn of Praise in <a href="/1_chronicles/16-8.htm" title="Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, make known his deeds among the people.">1Chronicles 16:8</a>, sqq.) The versification of the original psalm is neglected here, as there.(41) Now therefore.--And now added by chronicler.O Lord God.--Iahweh '?lohim. This rare divine title occurs thrice in these two verses, but nowhere else in the prayer. The chronicler uses it as least eight times, but it does not appear at all in the books of Kings. In the Psalm we read simply Iahweh.Into thy resting place.--N-ah. A late word, found besides only in <a href="/context/esther/9-16.htm" title="But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,">Esther 9:16-18</a> (noah).
