Mas Salom�n le edific� casa.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 47. But Solomon built him an house .] Though David was so set upon it, and made such large provisions for it, he was not to be the man that should build it, he having been greatly concerned in wars, and in the effusion of blood; but Solomon his son, who enjoyed much peace, was the person designed for this work, and who did accomplish it; of which there is a large account in the ( 1 Kings 6:1-7:51).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 42-50 - Stephen upbraids the Jews with the idolatry of their fathers, to whic God gave them up as a punishment for their early forsaking him. It wa no dishonour, but an honour to God, that the tabernacle gave way to the temple; so it is now, that the earthly temple gives way to the spiritual one; and so it will be when, at last, the spiritual shal give way to the eternal one. The whole world is God's temple, in whic he is every where present, and fills it with his glory; what occasio has he then for a temple to manifest himself in? And these things sho his eternal power and Godhead. But as heaven is his throne, and the earth his footstool, so none of our services can profit Him who mad all things. Next to the human nature of Christ, the broken an spiritual heart is his most valued temple.
