Solomon, as king, is addressing the assembly of Israel, highlighting the importance of the occasion. The act of speaking in this context is significant, as it reflects the role of the king as both a political and spiritual leader.“Blessed be the LORD, The phrase "Blessed be the LORD" is a common expression of praise and worship in the Old Testament. It acknowledges God's sovereignty and goodness. This blessing is a form of doxology, a short hymn of praises to God, which is a recurring theme in the Psalms and other parts of Scripture.the God of Israel, This title emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and the nation of Israel. It reflects the unique identity of Israel as God's chosen people, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament. The phrase underscores the monotheistic belief in Yahweh as the one true God, distinct from the gods of surrounding nations.who has fulfilled with His own hand This part of the verse highlights God's active involvement in the fulfillment of His promises. The imagery of God's "hand" suggests His power and direct action in history. It connects to other biblical passages where God's hand is depicted as mighty and capable of delivering His people, such as in Exodus during the deliverance from Egypt.what He spoke with His mouth This phrase underscores the faithfulness of God in keeping His word. It reflects the biblical theme that God's spoken word is powerful and effective, as seen in the creation narrative in Genesis. The reliability of God's promises is a central tenet of biblical theology.to my father David, This reference to David connects Solomon's actions to the Davidic Covenant, where God promised David that his descendants would rule Israel. It highlights the continuity of God's plan through the generations. David is a key figure in biblical history, and his relationship with God is foundational for understanding the messianic prophecies that point to Jesus Christ.saying, The use of "saying" introduces a direct quotation, which in the biblical context often signifies the importance and authority of the words that follow. It prepares the reader for the specific promise or prophecy that God made, which in this case relates to the establishment of Solomon's temple and the continuation of David's lineage.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a> The son of King David and Bathsheba, Solomon is the king of Israel who built the temple in Jerusalem.
