  This did not take place, according to Abp. Usher, till the
  year after the temple was finished, because that year was a
  jubilee.  "The 8th day of the 7th month, viz. the 30th of our
  October, being Friday, was the first of the seven days of
  dedication; the 10th day, Saturday, November 1, the fast of
  expiation or atonement was held; whereon, according to the
  Levitical law, the jubilee was proclaimed by sound of trumpet.
  The 15th day, Friday, was the feast of tabernacles, which was
  always very solemnly kept; and the day following, Nov. 14,
  being our Saturday, when the Sabbath was ended, the people
  returned home."

  this objection is removed by rendering the original, "If they
  shall sin against thee, (for there is no man that, {lo
  yechetai,} may not sin;") i.e., there is no man impeccable or
  infallible; none that is not liable to transgress.

   * De 4:1,45; 6:1


VERSE 59 
 - 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 41 6:41, 42, apparently taken from one of the Psalms.

- nigh.
   * Ps 102:1,2; 141:2 Joh 17:9,20-24 1Jo 2:2
- at all times.  Heb. the thing of a day in his day.

   * Ezr 6:16,17 Eze 45:17 Mic 6:7
- two and twenty.
  We are not to suppose that all these victims were sacrificed
  in one day, or on one altar; for this was the whole amount of
  those that had been offered during the fourteen days which the
  feast of dedication and the feast of tabernacles lasted; and
  there appears to have been an altar erected in the middle of
  the court, which was set apart for that purpose, in
  consequence of the great altar of burnt offering being not
  sufficient for the multitude of sacrifices then offered.

- dedicated.
   * Nu 7:10,11,84-88 2Ch 2:4; 7:5 Ezr 6:16,17 Ne 12:27 Joh 10:22

- seven days.
   * 2Ch 7:8,9; 30:23


VERSE 66 
 - 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.
