TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:1-66 Solomon’s building activities climaxed with the Ark’s move to the newly erected Temple. The king offered both prayer (8:22-53) and words of praise and blessing (8:56-61) to dedicate the Temple for the Lord’s service. After the dedication, the assembled gathering enjoyed the great Festival of Shelters. The focus of the account is on Solomon praising God and blessing the people (8:12-61).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

In that it was in your heart

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Dāvid father_of,my because which/who it_became with heart_of,your to,build house for,name_of,my did_well that/for/because/then/when it_became with heart_of,your )

What David desired is spoken of as if it were an item in a container and the heart as if it were a container. Alternate translation: “Because you desired”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

for my name

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Dāvid father_of,my because which/who it_became with heart_of,your to,build house for,name_of,my did_well that/for/because/then/when it_became with heart_of,your )

The word “name” is a metonym for the person, and “for … name” refers to worshiping the person. See how you translated similar words in [1 Kings 3:2](../03/02.md). Alternate translation: “in which people will worship me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

for it to be in your heart

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Dāvid father_of,my because which/who it_became with heart_of,your to,build house for,name_of,my did_well that/for/because/then/when it_became with heart_of,your )

What David desired is spoken of as if it were an item in a container and the heart as if it were a container. Alternate translation: “to desire to do that” or “by wanting to do that”
