**the Are came down:** i.e. to consume the sacrifices. See note on [Genesis 4:4](../../../kjv/genesis/4/4) . This is complementary to [1 Kings 8:63](../../../kjv/1-kings/8/63) , [1 Kings 8:64](../../../kjv/1-kings/8/64) .
**sacrifices** = victims. Hebrew. *zebah.* App-43 .

**children** = sons.
**mercy** = grace.

**offered** = sacrificed. Hebrew. *zebach.* App-43 .

**God.** Hebrew. *ha-Elohim =* the [true] God. App-4 .

**hallowed.** See note on "holy "([Exodus 3:5](../../../kjv/exodus/3/5) ).
**offered** = prepared. Hebrew. *'asah* . App-43 .

**the feast:** i.e. of Tabernacles.
**congregation** = assembly, or muster.
**the river** = torrent, or Wady. Hebrew. *nahal.*

**appeared to Solomon.** This was thirteen years after the dedication. Compare [2 Chronicles 7:1](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/7/1) with [2 Chronicles 8:1](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/8/1) . [1 Kings 6:37](../../../kjv/1-kings/6/37) ; [1 Kings 9:1](../../../kjv/1-kings/9/1) . The fire from heaven was the immediate answer to Solomon's prayer. This later answer shows that the prayers of God's people are ever fresh before Him.
