1 Kings 7:51      1 Kings 8:2

First Kings 8:1

[This is the central chapter of chapters 3-11, which is a chiasm. Chapter 8 is also formed in a chiasm with seven sections, with Solomon's prayer as the central part:
A Introduction (verses 1–2)
B Dedication (verses 3–13)
C Solomon blesses the people (verses 14–21)
D Solomon's prayer (verses 22–54)
C´ Solomon blesses the people (verses 55–61)
B´ Dedication (verses 62–64)
A´ Conclusion (verses 65–66)
The completion of the temple is Solomon's greatest achievement. This building both embodies and symbolizes Israel's bond with God. In the midst of all this, it is also quite obvious that the God of heaven cannot dwell in a house built by humans, something that Solomon also mentions in his prayer, see verse 27 and Acts 17:24.]
At that time (since), Solomon gathered the elders of Israel and all the heads (leaders) of the tribes, the princes of the houses of the fathers of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord (Yahweh) from the city of David, which is Zion.
