Charles Ellicott Commentary Haggai 2:9

"The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts." — Haggai 2:9 (ASV)

The glory ...—Better, The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former. The new sanctuary is regarded as identical with that built by Solomon. It will have a claim to renown unrivaled even in the most prosperous days of old, when Jehovah will turn the attention of all nations to His sacred place, as predicted in Haggai 2:6-7.

Between this third utterance and the fourth (Haggai 2:10–19) comes Zechariah’s exhortation to repentance (Zechariah 1:2–6), given in the eighth month.
