Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 3:15

15 And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream : and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD , and offered up burnt-offerings , and offered peaceofferings , and made a feast to all his servants.

i. e. He perceived that it was a Dream; not a vain Dream wherewith men are commonly deluded; but a Divine Dream, assuring him of the thing: which he knew, partly, by a Divine impression and inspiration thereof in his mind after he was awakened: and partly, by the vast alteration which he presently found within himself in point of Wisdom and Knowledge.

Which was there in the City of David, 2 Sam. 6. 17. before which he presented himself in way of Holy Ministration and Adoration, which may be noted by the word, stood. Or, that word may note his abode there for some considerable time, as the offering of so many Sacrifices required.

Chiefly for the expiation of his and his peoples sin, through the Blood of Christ, manifestly signified in these Sacrifices.

Solemnly to praise God for all his Mercies, and especially for giving him a quiet and fixed possession of the Kingdom, and for his Glorious appearance to him in a Dream, and for the great promise therein made to him, and the actual accomplishment of it since wrought in him.
