Albert Barnes Commentary 2 Chronicles 6:40-42

"Now, O my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place. Now therefore arise, O Jehovah God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. O Jehovah God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember [thy] lovingkindnesses to David thy servant." — 2 Chronicles 6:40-42 (ASV)

In Kings, a different conclusion takes the place of these verses. The document from which both writers copied contained the full prayer of dedication, which each gives in a somewhat abbreviated form.

2 Chronicles 6:41

Your resting place—that is, the Most Holy Place. Solomon closely follows the words of his father David, spoken probably when he brought the ark into Jerusalem. See the marginal references.

2 Chronicles 6:42

Turn not away the face of your anointed—that is, do not cause him to hide his face in shame because his prayers were rejected (compare the note on 1 Kings 2:16).

The mercies of David—that is, “God’s mercies toward David.”
