Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 1. - In the thick darkness; Hebrew, מַּעֲרַפֶל. The Lord had said this in so many words, and also by not a few practical examples (Leviticus 16:2; Exodus 19:9; Exodus 24:16; Exodus 25:22; Exodus 40:34, 35). This thing which he said, and did, even while really instructing, after the manner of special revelation, a specialized people, is essentially what he ever has said and ever is doing in all time, in all the world, and in all nature and providence. It is a fact and it is necessary that his glory be for the present veiled in "clouds and darkness" (Psalm 97:2; Psalm 18. n).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersVI.2. KING SOLOMON BLESSES HIS PEOPLE AND HIS GOD(2Chronicles 6:1-11.) (Comp. 1Kings 8:12-21.)This section also is in verbal agreement with the parallel account, with a few slight exceptions.(1) The thick darkness.--'Araphel, which is explained as caligo nubium, "gloom of clouds." (See Exodus 20:21; Deuteronomy 4:11; Psalm 18:9. Comp. the Greek, ?????.) The Targum on 1Kings 8:12 reads Jerusalem, but this is probably a gloss. . . .
