And the king turned his face about,.... He was before the altar, 1 Kings 8:22, with his face to that first, and looking towards the holy and the most holy place, filled with the cloud and glory; and

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 8:14
The king turned his face about, from the temple, towards which he was looking to observe that thick and extraordinary darkness, to the body of the congregation. Blessed all the congregation of Israel, or, blessed (to wit, the Lord, which is easily understood from the following words; in which he only blesseth or praiseth God, but doth not bless the people at all) with (so the Hebrew eth is oft used, as hath been showed before) all the congregation. Although he might do both, first bless the congregation, which possibly he might do in that solemn and appointed form, Numbers 6; which therefore it was needless to repeat here; and then blessed God. And indeed he doth both here below, where these same words are used, ,56, &c. The congregation of Israel stood; partly in way of devotion to God, whom they adored; and partly out of respect to the king.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 8:14
1 Kings 8:14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)Ver. 14. And the king turned his face about,] viz., Fromward the altar and mercy seat, whither they looked when they prayed in the temple, as when otherwise they looked toward the temple, i.e., Christ. And blessed all the congregation.] Or, Blessed God together with all the congregation of Israel, as Junius rendereth it. And all the congregation stood.] To testify their reverence, attention, and observation. See on Judges 3:20.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 8:14
(14) And the king.—We are told in the book of Chronicles (2 Chronicles 6:13) that the king stood on a “brasen scaffold” three cubits high, in the midst of the court before the altar of sacrifice, so that he could alternately turn towards the Temple and towards the people in the outer court.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Kings 8:14
Verse 14. Blessed all the congregation] Though this blessing is not particularly stated, yet we may suppose that it was such as the high priest pronounced upon the people: "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee! The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee! The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace!" (see Numbers 6:24-26,) for Solomon seems now to be acting the part of the high priest. But he may have in view more particularly the conduct of Moses, who, when he had seen that the people had done all the work of the tabernacle, as the Lord had commanded them, he blessed them, Exodus 39:43; and the conduct of his father David, who, when the ark had been brought into the city of David, and the burnt-offerings and peace-offerings completed, blessed the people in the name of the Lord, 2 Samuel 6:18.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 8:14
14. And the king turned his face about] He had spoken at first looking towards the Temple, and beholding the cloud which told that God was there. and blessed all the congregation] The words which follow (15–21) are not words of benediction on the people, but thanksgiving to God. We must suppose the language of blessing to have been like the blessing which follows later on in the chapter (57–61) where the king does ask for guidance and help for Israel.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Kings 8:14
Solomon had spoken the preceding words, addressed to God, with his face directed to the holy of holies. He now turned around and looked outward toward the people.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 8:14
14. Turned his face — From the most holy place towards the assembled multitude without the temple, in the court.
