1. Solomon, having blessed the people, blessed God
12. Solomon's prayer in the consecration of the temple, upon the bronze platform.














(29) When.--Or if, as in LXX. Hebrew, 'asher. (See Note on 2Chronicles 6:24.)

His own sore (plague) and his own grief.--Kings, "the plague of his own heart." So Syriac and Arabic. The phrase of the chronicler looks like a gloss on this.

In this house.--The margin is right.
