Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 21. - The supplications of thy servant. "The great thought of Solomon now is that the centre and core of all worship is prayer" (Professor Dr. James G. Murphy, in 'Handbook for Bible Classes: Chronicles'). Toward this place (see other instances of this expression, Psalm 5:7; Psalm 28:2; Psalm 138:2; Jonah 2:4; Daniel 6:10). From thy dwelling-place. 1 Kings 8:30 has, "hear to thy dwelling-place, to heaven," by probably the mere error of a copyist.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) Supplications.--Tah?n-nim, a word chiefly poetic and late, which nowhere appears in Kings, and only here in Chronicles. Kings has the older synonym t?hinn?h.Hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven.--Yea thou--thou shalt hear from the place of thy dwelling, from the heavens. For "from," in both places, Kings has "unto," an unusual pregnant construction, which is probably original.
