V.1-11 Not only is all Israel rejoicing under their king, but here is a Gentile king happily doing what Solomon asks! In Christ’s kingdom, the whole earth will obey Him. Luke 2:1414Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:14) shall be fulfilled.
V.12-18 Many hands busy at one building. Probably the most magnificent and costly building ever erected on this earth. God Himself spoke about it. Read what He said (1 Kings 9:33And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. (1 Kings 9:3)). These words make us realize that the temple is a picture of the great and glorious reign of Christ during the 1,000 years known as the millennium. Though this building was later destroyed, then rebuilt and destroyed once more, it will again be rebuilt. But Scripture always speaks of it as one house (Read Hag. 2:99The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts. (Haggai 2:9)). When the Lord Jesus was on earth, He called it “my Father’s house” (John 2:1616And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. (John 2:16)).
