Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 8:40
That they may fear thee; that when thou hast first smitten them, and then so eminently delivered them, and that in answer to their prayer, they may hereby be taught to fear thee, and thy justice, and thy goodness.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 8:40
1 Kings 8:40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.Ver. 40. That they may fear thee.] For thy just judgments on hypocrites, and mercies to the sincere.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 8:40
(23-53) The prayer of Solomon, uttered (see 1 Kings 8:54) on his knees with hands uplifted to heaven, long and detailed as it is, is yet of extreme simplicity of idea. It begins (a), in 1 Kings 8:23-25, with a thankful acknowledgment of the fulfilment of one part of the great promise to David, and a prayer for the like fulfilment of the other; next (b), in 1 Kings 8:26-30, acknowledging that God’s presence can be limited to no Temple, it yet Asks that His peculiar blessing may rest on prayer uttered toward the place which He has hallowed; and then (c), in 1 Kings 8:31-53, applies that petition to the various contingencies, of oath taken in His name, of rain withheld, of disaster in battle, of famine and pestilence, of captivity in a foreign land, and extends it not only to Israel, but to the stranger who shall acknowledge and invoke the Lord Jehovah. Its constantly recurring burden is, “Hear Thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive.” It is plain that before Solomon’s mind there are continually present in some form the blessing and the curse pronounced in the Law (see Leviticus 26; Deuteronomy 28); and it is most true to human nature, and especially characteristic of the thoughtfulness of his philosophic temper, that over the bright hour of exultation there seems to hover a constant foreboding of evils and trials to come.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 8:40
40. that they may fear thee] i.e. Being instructed and warned by God’s judgements may cease to offend and in consequence need no more correction. Cf. Psalms 130:4. ‘There is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.’
