He has indeed made darkness his pavilion. But let this house be the residence of that darkness. It is in the upper world that he dwells in light, such as no eye can approach.

JFB: 2Ch 6:1 - -- This introduction to Solomon's address was evidently suggested by the remarkable incident recorded at the close of the last chapter: the phenomenon of...

This introduction to Solomon's address was evidently suggested by the remarkable incident recorded at the close of the last chapter: the phenomenon of a densely opaque and uniformly shaped cloud, descending in a slow and majestic manner and filling the whole area of the temple. He regarded it himself, and directed the people also to regard it, as an undoubted sign and welcome pledge of the divine presence and acceptance of the building reared to His honor and worship. He referred not to any particular declaration of God, but to the cloud having been all along in the national history of Israel the recognized symbol of the divine presence (Exo 16:10; Exo 24:16; Exo 40:34; Num 9:15; 1Ki 8:10-11).

Clarke: 2Ch 6:1 - -- The Lord hath said that he would dwell - Solomon, seeing the cloud descend and fill the house, immediately took for granted that the Lord had accept...

The Lord hath said that he would dwell - Solomon, seeing the cloud descend and fill the house, immediately took for granted that the Lord had accepted the place, and was now present. What occurred now was precisely the same with what took place when Moses reared the tabernacle in the wilderness; see Exo 40:34, Exo 40:35 : A cloud covered the tent - and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent - because the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle

The Chaldee paraphrases thus: "Then said Solomon, It has pleased God to place his majesty in the city of Jerusalem, in the house of the sanctuary which I have built to the name of his Word, and he hath placed a dark cloud before him.

Defender: 2Ch 6:1 - -- The Hebrew word for "thick darkness" refers to the heavy cloud of the Shekinah glory (Exo 20:21)."

The Hebrew word for "thick darkness" refers to the heavy cloud of the Shekinah glory (Exo 20:21)."

TSK: 2Ch 6:1 - -- The Lord : Exo 20:21, Exo 24:15-18; Lev 16:2; Deu 4:11; 1Ki 8:12-21; Psa 18:8-11, Psa 97:2; Nah 1:3; Heb 12:18
