Now the LORD has fulfilled His word that He spoke
This phrase emphasizes the faithfulness of God in keeping His promises. The Hebrew root for "fulfilled" is "מָלֵא" (male'), which conveys the idea of completion or bringing to fruition. This reflects the reliability of God's word, as seen throughout the Scriptures. Historically, this fulfillment is significant because it marks the realization of God's covenant with David, as recorded in 2 Samuel 7:12-13, where God promised David that his offspring would build a house for His Name.

For I have risen in the place of my father David
The phrase "I have risen" indicates Solomon's ascension to the throne, which was part of God's divine plan. The Hebrew word "קוּם" (qum) means to rise or stand, symbolizing not just a physical ascension but also a divinely ordained position. Solomon's rise to kingship is a testament to God's sovereign will and the continuation of the Davidic line, which is crucial in the biblical narrative leading to the Messiah.

and I sit on the throne of Israel
"Sitting on the throne" signifies Solomon's legitimate rule and authority over Israel. The throne is a symbol of governance and divine appointment. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a king's throne was not just a seat of power but also a place of judgment and leadership. Solomon's reign is marked by wisdom and prosperity, fulfilling God's promise to David.

as the LORD promised
This phrase reiterates the theme of divine promise and fulfillment. The Hebrew word for "promised" is "דָּבַר" (dabar), which means to speak or declare. God's promises are not mere human words but are backed by His omnipotence and faithfulness. This assurance is a cornerstone of the believer's faith, knowing that God's promises are sure and steadfast.

and I have built the house for the Name of the LORD
Building the temple was a monumental task that Solomon undertook as a fulfillment of God's promise to David. The "house" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship for Israel. The Hebrew word "בַּיִת" (bayit) means house or dwelling, signifying a place where God's presence would reside among His people. This construction was not just a physical building but a spiritual center for Israel's worship and identity.

the God of Israel
This phrase identifies the LORD as the covenant God of Israel, emphasizing His unique relationship with His chosen people. The title "God of Israel" underscores the special bond and the historical acts of deliverance and guidance that God performed for Israel. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and His ongoing commitment to His people, which is a source of hope and assurance for believers.

(10) The Lord . . . his word.--And Jehovah hath established, or ratified, his word. Literally, caused to rise up.

Spoken--i.e., promised.

Set.--Seated. (No variant from Kings.)

Verses 10, 11. - The moment that might have witnessed the utmost inflation of spiritual pride, the acme of ambition, the highest point of even moral kind of grandeur, being touched, is saved from the peril. To the "performing of the Lord" the glory is all given (Luke 1:54, 55, 68-72). Probably delivered from earthly feeling, and sheltered just now from self and human ambition, Solomon was in a very high degree "in the spirit" (Revelation 1:10) on this great day. The moment was a proud moment in Solomon's history, as well there may be proud moments in men's lives, but it was divinely shielded, as divinely inspired. Hereafter, for all that, "the thorn in the flesh" might become very necessary, lest Solomon "be exalted above measure" in the memory of all that had transpired.
