John Gill Commentary 1 Kings 8:15

"And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David thy father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying," — 1 Kings 8:15 (ASV)

And he said, blessed be the Lord God of Israel

which spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand
fulfilled it ;
who graciously promised him he should have a son that should build an house for him, and which he had by his power and providence faithfully performed; or rather which spoke concerning David, so Noldius ^F24 ; for God did not speak with his mouth to David, but to Nathan, of him: saying; as follows.
