Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple 3

by Mark A. Becker

King Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple is recorded for us in 2 Chronicles 6:1-42 and 1 Kings 8:12-53. Though the majority of our study will be taken from 2 Chronicles 6, we will add in a few passages from 1 Kings 8 in an attempt to offer a more complete assessment of Solomon’s prayer. Our study will wind down with the Lord’s response to Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple and the Biblical and historical conclusion that perhaps even the best of creative writers could never conjure up.

Underlined Scripture passages are my own emphasis.

Solomon continues his prayer, petitions, and supplications to God.

National Destruction and Captivity

With his apparent study and obvious implementation of Deuteronomy 28 within his prayer and supplications at the dedication of the Temple, King Solomon was keenly aware of the prophecies the Lord gave to Moses regarding the curses that would come upon Israel in their future due to her outright rebellion against God and His Word. This sad and unfortunate reality for Israel’s future, and what the chosen people of God should do when their rebellion would result in national destruction and captivity in foreign lands, is where Solomon took his prayer before God.

“If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near; Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.” – 2 Chronicles 6:36-39

King Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes also mentions his observation that “there is no man which sinneth not.”

“For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” – Ecclesiastes 7:20

When Israel would sin against the Lord – and they most certainly would – it would be because they did not love God with “all their heart and with all their soul,” which is a direct violation of the following commandment…

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” – Deuteronomy 6:4-5

Approximately 1,500 years later, Messiah Himself would include this law, adding the word “strength,” with another commandment in the Torah (Leviticus 19:18), and together they are known commonly as The First or Greatest Commandment and The Royal Law, respectively…

“The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself… On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” – Mark 12:29-31, Matthew 22:40

These two laws in the Torah, as Jesus said, essentially summarize the law and the prophets, and we could add fulfills the 10 Commandments that were written by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18): the first four commandments focus on our relationships to God (Exodus 20:3-11), and the last six center on our relationships to each other (Exodus 20:12-17): that is, loving and serving God and loving and serving others.

Solomon again must have been thinking about the Torah - specifically Deuteronomy 28 - when it came to his prayer concerning Israel’s future prophetic rebellion(s). God had warned His people what would occur if they continued in their revolt against God and His Word; they would eventually be destroyed and carried away into captivity. The portrait God paints through Moses upon a rebellious Israel is not a pretty picture, to say the least.

“The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.

“Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.

“Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.

“Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.

“The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

“The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

“The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee…

“Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.

“Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.” – Deuteronomy 28:28-37, 40-41

When God should have been Israel’s loving Master and King, Isarel’s disobedience to God and His Word would result in dispersion and slavery in abject misery within the lands of their enemies, their new masters and kings.

“Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

“Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.” – Deuteronomy 28:45-48

It gets worse…

“The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

“And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.

“And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

“The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.” – Deuteronomy 28:49-57

God through Jeremiah and Ezekiel promised…

“And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.” – Jeremiah 19:9

“Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.” – Ezekiel 5:10

This horrendous promise from the Lord - of the people of Israel and Judah killing and eating their own children - is recorded for us twice in Scripture.

The first occurred in the northern nation of Israel in Samaria…

“And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.

“And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said unto her, What aileth thee?

“And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow. So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

“And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.” – 2 Kings 6:24-30

The second occurred in the southern nation of Judah in Jerusalem during the Babylonian siege as recorded by Jeremiah…

“Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?... The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.” – Lamentations 2:20, 4:10

The Lord continues His warnings in Deuteronomy 28…

“And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

“And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.” – Deuteronomy 28:63-67

Though the Temple had been destroyed and burned by the Babylonian conquest resulting in Israel’s 70-year dispersion, Daniel, as one of the most righteous men who ever lived, always prayed to God and offered his petitions and supplications towards Jerusalem where the Temple of the Lord was – even knowing that, in doing so, it could very well cost him his life!

“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.” – Daniel 6:10

But God… Yes, God is a forgiving God full of mercy and lovingkindness.

Consider how God thought upon Israel at the end of their 70-year Babylonians captivity:

“For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

“Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

“And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” – Jeremiah 29:10-14

God will indeed hear from heaven and forgive the contrite heart “if they return to [the Lord] with all their heart and with all their soul” in any and all situations, for God is indeed gracious and full of mercy and lovingkindness. Solomon’s father, King David, knew this truth all too well.

“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me… Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me… Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit… For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.” – Psalm 51:1-3, 10, 12, 16-18

Israel: God’s Inheritance

King Solomon knew from the Tanakh that Israel was, is, and always will be the Lord’s chosen people – God’s personal inheritance among the nations of the world.

“And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them: For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

“For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.” – 1 Kings 8:50-53

God’s promises of blessings for obedience from the children of Israel were wonderful and intimate.

“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” – Exodus 19:5-6

On the other hand, tragically, disobedience certainly has its consequences with a holy and righteous God! And because of Israel’s and Judah’s stubborn hearts, it was truly rare that the two nations as collective ever heeded the numerous warnings of God through His prophets when they rebelled against Him, repenting of their sinful ways.

God commanded Jeremiah to remind the rebellious house of Judah the following:

“… say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day…” – Jeremiah 11:3-5

So many times, with no response, the Lord tried to get Israel’s and Judah’s attention through His prophets to repent of their evil deeds, but they would not harken to the Lord and God had no choice but to punish His beloved chosen people by the hands of those who would destroy their lands, cities, and finally the Temple.

God certainly allow Israel, when they were carried away captive, to have harsh treatments from their captors if they did not sincerely repent of their sins that resulted in their captivity.

“And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.” – Deuteronomy 28:37

God’s warnings to His chosen people regarding their being despised among the nations He would drive them, because of their rebellion against Him, is still seen throughout the world even today.

“Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger? Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them: And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.” – Deuteronomy 29:24-28

Yet, as the Lord God promised, when Israel would diligently seek the Lord, confess their sins, and repent of their wicked ways, the Lord – the God of all mercy and lovingkindness – would hear their cry and redeem them from their enemies, just as King Solomon petitioned the Lord in his prayer.

“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.

“If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.” – Deuteronomy 30:1-5

These words, “driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven,” were used by Israel’s Messiah concerning His holy angels regathering His elect immediately following His Second Coming…

“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” – Matthew 24:31

The Lord God permanently drove the northern nation of Israel out of her land by the Assyrians in approximately 722 BC. The southern nation of Judah was driven out of her land by the Babylonians in approximately 586 BC and regathered 70 years later. Judah and Jerusalem were once again destroyed and the people dispersed by the Romans in 70-135 AD for rejecting their Messiah, and for almost 2,000 years never had a nation until God has been regathering His chosen people once again with the recreation of the nation of Israel in 1948.

The Lord God, through Messiah Yeshua, will, for the last and final time, regather His dispersed beloved chosen people following His glorious Second Coming when Israel will have been scattered throughout the world following the Antichrist’s Abomination of Desolation that initiates the Great Tribulation.

“Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

“Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

“He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

“Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.” – Psalm 106:43-48

And during the Great Tribulation, the Lord God of Israel will hear their cry and come to deliver His people from bondage and exile at the Lord’s Second Coming, when all Israel comes to saving faith in their once-rejected Messiah, rescuing His Holy City, Jerusalem, and the Promised Land of Israel, to give back to His beloved people forever.

Final Words of King Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple

King Solomon beseeches the Lord God on behalf of His chosen people.

“Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. Now therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.” – 2 Chronicles 6:40-41

Solomon greatly desires that the Temple of God be a house of prayer, just as God through Isaiah stressed regarding the “stranger” that would earnestly seek the Lord God…

“Even them [the strangers or foreigners/Gentiles who sought the Lord God] will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.” – Isaiah 56:7

The Lord Jesus Christ also demanded the Temple in Jerusalem to be a house of prayer in His day…

“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” – Matthew 21:12-13

Indeed, God would soon make His presence known to His people, Israel, with His “resting place [upon] … the ark of [His] strength” in the Most Holy Place in the Temple.

As long as Israel’s Priests and Levites stayed faithful and committed to the Lord and His Word, they would certainly “be clothed with salvation” (that would later be revealed in Messiah and His New Covenant) and the people, “[God’s] saints,”would“rejoice in [God’s] goodness,’ blessings, provisions, and divine love as long as they too stayed faithful and committed to the things of God.

Scripture notes the words of Moses during the wilderness wanderings of Israel before they entered the Promise Land…

“And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee. And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.” – Numbers 10:35-36

The Psalmist surely had Moses’ words and Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple in mind in Psalm 132.

“Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed [Messiah]… I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.” – Psalm 132:8-10, 16

To conclude, we highlighted the phrase, “let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place,” so that we could share with the reader, regarding Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple, a devotional on 2 Chronicles 6:21 from Henry M. Morris of the Institute for Creation Research in Days of Praise called, How Does God Hear?

“Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.” (2 Chronicles 6:21)

No less than eight times in Solomon’s prayer of dedication for the temple does he beseech God to “hear from heaven” (see 2 Chronicles 6:21, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33, 35, 39). But the obvious question is just how can God hear our prayers, especially those uttered only in silence?

The answer is in both God’s omniscience and His omnipresence. Although God is indeed on His heavenly throne, He is also right here! “O LORD,” David prayed, “thou hast searched me, and known me . . . thou understandest my thought afar off” (Psalm 139:1-2). He can, and does, hear our prayers. “He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?” (Psalm 94:9).

In a manner of speaking, He hears the prayers of redeemed children today even more directly than in David’s day, for we who trust in Christ have been indwelt by the Holy Spirit. “God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them” (2 Corinthians 6:16). “The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers” (1 Peter 3:12).

God can indeed hear our prayers. But there are times when He refuses to hear! “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me” (Psalm 66:18). “Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God . . . that he will not hear” (Isaiah 59:1-2).

Yes, but if we ask anything according to His will (and this implies first living according to His will), “he heareth us: and . . . we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” (1 John 5:14-15). HMM

“O Lord God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.” – 2 Chronicles 6:42

Though King Solomon most certainly had himself in view, there is a prophetic undertone that should not be missed in his words.

The Hebrew for “thine anointed” is מְשִׁיחֶי / ךָ “mᵊšîḥêḵā” from 4899 מָשִׁיחַ “māšîaḥ” or Messiah. In Biblical times, the Priests were anointed to carry out their Temple duties and Kings were commonly anointed by Prophets.

Of course, we know that The Anointed is the Messiah, Yeshua of Nazareth. Often, especially in the Psalms, when we read “anointed,” we should read “Messiah Yeshua.” In Solomon’s closing words, we should certainly be able to see a prophetic connotation to Messiah Yeshua who was, as we noted in Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple 1, the fulfillment of those promises God made to King Solomon’s father, King David. In this sense, and with Solomon’s God-given wisdom and his inspiring prayer at the dedication of the Temple, King Solomon pictures King Yeshua in anointed Kingship typology.

Surely, the Father would “turn not away the face of thine anointed [His Son, the Messiah],” though for a time, the Father would separate Himself from His Son as Messiah Yeshua paid the penalty for mankind’s sins on the cross during the three hours of darkness upon the land.

We will conclude our study with Solomon’s Prayer at the Dedication of the Temple 4, that begins with King Solomon encouraging the nation of Israel.

I would also like to invite my brothers and sisters to my brother and friend, Bronson Goss’ The Prophetic Times Podcast, at Prophetic Times | Bronson Goss. I pray you will be as blessed as I have been!

May we all keep Answering the Call of The Great Commission, and giving an answer to every man and woman who so desperately needs Jesus and asks us, “Why Am I Here and What Is It All About?”

Love, grace, mercy, and shalom in Messiah Yeshua, and Maranatha!
