Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 8:57

8:55 He stood - He spoke this standing, that he might be the betterheard, and because he blessed as one having authority. Never were wordsmore pertinently spoken: never was a congregation dismissed, with thatwhich was more likely to affect them, and to abide with them.

8:56 Blessed, &c. - This discharge he gives in the name of allIsrael, to the everlasting honour of the Divine faithfulness, and theeverlasting encouragement of all those that build upon the Divine promises.

8:58 Incline - That he may not only bless us with outward prosperity,but especially, with spiritual blessings: and that as he hath given us hisword to teach and direct us, so he would by his holy Spirit, effectuallyincline us to obey it.
