Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: 1Ki 9:8 - High

Glorious and renowned.

Wesley: 1Ki 9:8 - Astonished

At its unexpected and wonderful ruin.

Wesley: 1Ki 9:8 - Hiss

JFB: 1Ki 9:8 - this house, which is high

"high," either in point of situation, for it was built on a hill, and therefore conspicuous to every beholder; or "high" in respect to privilege, honor, and renown; or this "house of the Most High," notwithstanding all its beauty and magnificence, shall be destroyed, and remain in such a state of ruin and degradation as to be a striking monument of the just judgment of God. The record of this second vision, in which were rehearsed the conditions of God's covenant with Solomon and the consequences of breaking them, is inserted here as a proper introduction to the narrative about to be given of this king's commercial enterprises and ambitious desire for worldly glory; for this king, by encouraging an influx of foreign people and a taste for foreign luxuries, rapidly corrupted his own mind and that of this subjects, so that they turned from following God, they and their children (1Ki 9:6).

Poole: 1Ki 9:8 - Which is high // Shall be astonished // Shall hiss

Example. Hebrew, "at this house, on high," (or dedicated "to the most high;" Paralipomenon) "every," &c. (Haydock) ---

It shall be treated with no more regard than the high places of idols. (Calmet) ---

Gill: 1Ki 9:8 - And at this house which is high // everyone that passeth by it shall be astonished // and shall hiss // and they shall say, why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house

And at this house which is high,.... The house of the most High, as some render it, and in high esteem, fame, and glory, as well as it was built on an high hill, and was itself one hundred and twenty cubits high, 2Ch 3:4, the Targum is,

"and this house which was high shall be destroyed:''

everyone that passeth by it shall be astonished; at the ruins of the temple, and of the city of Jerusalem, which had been so magnificent:

and shall hiss; in scorn and derision of the people of Israel, rejoicing in their ruin:

and they shall say, why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house? or suffered it to be done, to lie thus in waste and ruins; a land in which it had been said he delighted, and looked unto from one end of the year to the other, and a house he had taken up his dwelling in; surely something more than ordinary, they suggest, must be the cause of all this.
