Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - This house .... the place whereof;... this place (so Exodus 29:43; Deuteronomy 12:5; Deuteronomy 14:23; Deuteronomy 15:20; Deuteronomy 16:2).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) Upon.--Unto or toward. "Day and night" (as in Psalm 1:2); Kings, "night and day" (as in Isaiah 27:3); for which the chronicler has substituted a more usual phrase. The Syriac and Arabic follow Kings.Prayeth.--Shall pray, scil., at any time.Toward this place.--The margin is wrong, though supported by the Syriac, Arabic, and Vulg. The Temple of Jerusalem was, and is, the Kebla of the Jew. (Comp. Daniel 6:10, and 2Chronicles 6:34 infr., which is a kind of paraphrase of this expression.)
