Poole: 1Ki 8:13 - I have surely built thee an house to dwell in // A settled place for thee to abide in for ever

I have surely built thee an house to dwell in I perceive by this thick darkness that thou art coming among us, and therefore make haste and come, O thou blessed Guest, into the dwelling-place which I have built by thy command, and for thy service.

A settled place for thee to abide in for ever not a tabernacle, which was made to be carried from place to place; but a durable, and, I hope, perpetual habitation.

Gill: 1Ki 8:13 - I have surely built thee an house to dwell in // a settled place for thee to abide in for ever

I have surely built thee an house to dwell in,.... Turning himself from the priests and people, he quieted with a few words, he addressed the Lord; having built an house for him, for his worship and glory, with this view, that he might dwell in it, he was now, by the above token, fully assured it would be an habitation for him:

a settled place for thee to abide in for ever; which is observed in distinction from the tabernacle of Moses, which was often removed from place to place, otherwise this did not continue for ever; though Solomon might hope it would, at least unto the times of the Messiah; and indeed such a building on this spot, for such use, did continue so long, excepting the interval of the seventy years' captivity in Babylon.
