1 Kings 8:59
requests ...................... need <01697> [let these my words.]
This and the following verse are a sort of supplement to the prayer; and there is an important addition to this prayer in 2 Ch 6:41, 42, apparently taken from one of the Psalms.
<07138> [nigh.]
arises <03117> [at all times. Heb. the thing of a day in his day.]
requests ...................... need <01697> [as the matter.]
1 Kings 8:65-66

Brook <05158> [the river.]
two ... weeks <07651 03117> [seven days.]
fifteenth day <03117 08066> [the eighth day.]
In the parallel passage of Chronicles this is termed "the three and twentieth day of the seventh month;" that is, the ninth day of the dedication; which Jarchi reconciles by supposing that Solomon gave them leave to return on the eighth day, and many of them did return; and that he dismissed the remainder on the ninth, or twenty-third of the seventh month: See Note on ver. 1.
empower <01288> [blessed. or, thanked.]
happy <08056> [joyful.]
