And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month. —Beginning with the evening of the twenty-second.

For the goodness. —Some manuscripts, Syriac, and Arabic, for all the goodness, as in 1 Kings 8:66.

David, and to Solomon. —Kings, David his servant. The mention of Solomon was added by the chronicler. (Compare 2 Chronicles 6:4; 2 Chronicles 6:8; 2 Chronicles 6:15–17; 2 Chronicles 6:42, where all Solomon’s success is connected with the promise to David.)
