2 CHRONICLES CHAPTER 7
Fire from heaven, and a glory in the temple, witness the Divine acceptance: the people worship, 2Ch_7:1-3. Solomon’s solemn sacrifice, 2Ch_7:4-7. Having kept the feast of tabernacles, and the feast of the dedication of the altar, he dismisseth the people, 2Ch_1:8-11. God appeareth to Solomon; promiseth his favour on obedience; else threateneth grievous judgments, 1Ch_7:12-22.
The fire came down from heaven, in token of God’s acceptance of his prayer. See Poole "Lev_9:24"; See Poole "1Ki_18:38", &c. The glory of the Lord, i.e. the cloud, which was the sign of God’s glorious and gracious presence.
