91 When Solomon had finished building the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had achieved all he had desired to do,
91 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
91 As soon as Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the king's house and all that Solomon desired to build,
91 After Solomon had completed building The Temple of God and his own palace, all the projects he had set his heart on doing,
91 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he wanted to do,
91 So Solomon finished building the Temple of the Lord, as well as the royal palace. He completed everything he had planned to do.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Kings 9:1
Commentary on 1 Kings 9:1-9
(Read 1 Kings 9:1-9)
God warned Solomon, now he had newly built and dedicated the temple, that he and his people might not be high-minded, but fear. After all the services we can perform, we stand upon the same terms with the Lord as before. Nothing can purchase for us liberty to sin, nor would the true believer desire such a licence. He would rather be chastened of the Lord, than be allowed to go on with ease and prosperity in sin.
