V.33-40 Sins of which the people as a whole were guilty, were also to be forgiven if there was confession “toward this house.” In 2 Corinthians 7:8-12, the assembly at Corinth had learned to forgive when there was confession of the evil done.

V.46-53 This later happened to Israel. Daniel 9:4⁴And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; (Daniel 9:4) shows us a man who remembered these verses about 400 years after Solomon’s prayer.

V.55-61 How dependent Solomon was! That is the only safe attitude for us, too.

V.62-66 If you and I are living with a good conscious toward God we would be happy just as these people were! The Lord wants us to be happy every day and He has told us how we may be happy — by obedience to His Word.
