Context — The LORD’s Response to Solomon

9On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more. 10On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.

11When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,

12the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,

Cross References

	Reference	Text (BSB)
1	1 Kings 9:1–9	Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do, the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time. And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances, then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’ But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods, then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples. And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’ And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
2	Ecclesiastes 2:10–11	Anything my eyes desired, I did not deny myself. I refused my heart no pleasure. For my heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had toiled to achieve, I found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

2 Chronicles 7:11 Summary

[This verse tells us that Solomon finished building the temple and the royal palace, and that he was able to do everything he wanted to do for the Lord and for himself. This shows that Solomon was committed to honoring God and following His will, as we are encouraged to do in Psalm 37:4-5. By seeking to honor God, Solomon was able to fulfill his own desires and goals, and we can learn from his example to do the same. As we seek to follow God's will, we can trust that He will guide us and help us to accomplish what He has planned for us, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11.]

We can learn that our goals and desires should be aligned with God's will, and that seeking to honor Him should be our top priority, as taught in Matthew 6:33 and Colossians 3:2.

How does this verse relate to the rest of the biblical narrative?

This verse is part of the larger story of God's covenant with His people, and Solomon's actions reflect his role as a leader in that story, as seen in 2 Samuel 7:1-17 and 1 Chronicles 17:1-15.

Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 7:11

Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord,.... With which begins 1 Kings 11:1, [See comments on 1 Kings 11:1].

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 7:11

Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected. No JFB commentary on this verse.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:11

2 Chronicles 7:11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king’ s house: and all that came into Solomon’ s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected. Ver. 11. See on 1 Kings 9:1.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:11

THE LORD’S TO THE PRAYER OF SOLOMON (2 Chronicles 7:11-22. Comp. 1 Kings 9:1-9). The substance and, for the most part, the language of both passages are the same, but the chronicler paraphrases occasionally, and has added a considerable section not extant in Kings (2 Chronicles 7:13-16). (11) All that came into Solomon’s heart to make.—A paraphrase of all the desire (Isaiah 21:4; 2 Chronicles 8:6) of Solomon that he willed to do. The rest of the verse is wanting in Kings.

Barnes' Notes on 2 Chronicles 7:11

The narrative now runs parallel with 1 Kings 9:1-9, but is more full, and presents less of verbal agreement. 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 are additional to the earlier record.
