SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:50
y perdonarás a tu pueblo que había pecado contra ti, y todas sus rebeliones con que se habrán rebelado contra ti; y harás que hagan con ellos misericordia los que los hubieren llevado cautivos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 8:50
Verse 50. And give them compassion before them who carried them captive] He does not pray that they may be delivered out of that captivity, but that their enemies may use them well; and that they may, as formerly, be kept a separate and distinct people.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 50. And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee , etc.] By returning them to their own land; by which it would appear that the Lord had forgiven their trespasses, as well as by what follows: and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them ; for it is in the power of God to work upon the affections of men, and dispose their minds to use his people well, and to pity them under their distresses, as the Chaldeans did the Jews in Babylon, ( <19A646> Psalm 106:46).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-53 - In this excellent prayer, Solomon does as we should do in every prayer he gives glory to God. Fresh experiences of the truth of God's promise call for larger praises. He sues for grace and favour from God. The experiences we have of God's performing his promises, should encourag us to depend upon them, and to plead them with him; and those wh expect further mercies, must be thankful for former mercies. God' promises must be the guide of our desires, and the ground of our hope and expectations in prayer. The sacrifices, the incense, and the whol service of the temple, were all typical of the Redeemer's offices oblation, and intercession. The temple, therefore, was continually to be remembered. Under one word, "forgive," Solomon expressed all that he could ask in behalf of his people. For, as all misery springs from sin forgiveness of sin prepares the way for the removal of every evil, an the receiving of every good. Without it, no deliverance can prove blessing. In addition to the teaching of the word of God, Solomo entreated the Lord himself to teach the people to profit by all, eve by their chastisements. They shall know every man the plague of his ow heart, what it is that pains him; and shall spread their hands in prayer toward this house; whether the trouble be of body or mind, the shall represent it before God. Inward burdens seem especially meant Sin is the plague of our own hearts; our in-dwelling corruptions ar our spiritual diseases: every true Israelite endeavours to know these that he may mortify them, and watch against the risings of them. Thes drive him to his knees; lamenting these, he spreads forth his hands in prayer. After many particulars, Solomon concludes with the genera request, that God would hearken to his praying people. No place, now under the gospel, can add to the prayers made in or towards it. The substance is Christ; whatever we ask in his name, it shall be given us In this manner the Israel of God is established and sanctified, the backslider is recovered and healed. In this manner the stranger is brought nigh, the mourner is comforted, the name of God is glorified Sin is the cause of all our troubles; repentance and forgiveness lea to all human happiness.
