1 Kings8:12
12 ¶ Then spake Solomon , The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Perceiving both Priests and People struck with horror and wonder at this darkness, he minds them, that this was no sign of Gods dislike or disfavour, as some of them might possibly imagine; but a token of his Approbation, and Grace, and special Presence among them.
Not in express words, but by plain consequence, because he hath declared both by his Words and Actions, that he would manifest his presence [illegible: 1+ letters]ith, and dwelling among his People, by a dark Cloud, in which he would appear. See Exod. 13. 21, 22. and 24. 16. and 40. 35. Numb. 9. 15. Deut. 4. 11. and 5. 22. Psal. 18. 12. and 97. 2.
Marginal references: [illegible: 1+ letters] Chr. 6. 1.; [illegible: 1 word]. 16. 2.
