On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Our God is a consuming fire. Bishop Patrick quotes it as a tradition of the Jews that the smoke of the sacrifices ascended directly in a straight pillar, and was not scattered, otherwise it would have choked those that attended, when so many sacrifices were offered as were here. Here is something concerning which it may be doubted whether it was good or no.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Silence and retirement befriend our communion with God. His kindest visits are often in the night, Ps. xvii. It was in a dream, when he was asleep, his senses locked up, that God's access to his mind might be the more free and immediate.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The royal progress was of public importance. It was a season of national devotion. The king was accompanied by his principal nobility (2Ch 1:2); and, as the occasion was most probably one of the great annual festivals which lasted seven days, the rank of the offerer and the succession of daily oblations may help in part to account for the immense magnitude of the sacrifices.
