SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:54
¶ Y fue, que cuando acabó Salomón de orar al SEÑOR toda esta oración y súplica, se levantó de estar de rodillas delante del altar del SEÑOR con sus manos extendidas al cielo;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 54. And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord , etc.] In which he was a type of Christ, praying and interceding for his people before the golden attar, ( Revelation 8:3,4), he arose from before the altar of the Lord ; the altar of burnt offering, over against which he was: from kneeling on his knees ; upon the brasen scaffold; (see 2 Chronicles 6:13), in which posture he was during this long prayer: with his hands spread up to heaven ; which gesture he had used in his prayer, and now continued in blessing the people.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 54-61 - Never was a congregation dismissed with what was more likely to affec them, and to abide with them. What Solomon asks for in this prayer, is still granted in the intercession of Christ, of which his supplicatio was a type. We shall receive grace sufficient, suitable, an seasonable, in every time of need. No human heart is of itself willin to obey the gospel call to repentance, faith, and newness of life walking in all the commandments of the Lord, yet Solomon exhorts the people to be perfect. This is the scriptural method, it is our duty to obey the command of the law and the call of the gospel, seeing we have broken the law. When our hearts are inclined thereto, feeling ou sinfulness and weakness, we pray for Divine assistance; thus are we made able to serve God through Jesus Christ.
