Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Chronicles 6:41

_ _ arise, O Lord God into thy resting-place — These words are not found in the record of this prayer in the First Book of Kings; but they occur in Psalms 132:8, which is generally believed to have been composed by David, or rather by Solomon, in reference to this occasion. “Arise” is a very suitable expression to be used when the ark was to be removed from the tabernacle in Zion to the temple on Mount Moriah.

_ _ into thy resting-place — the temple so called (Isaiah 66:1), because it was a fixed and permanent mansion (Psalms 132:14).

_ _ the ark of thy strength — the abode by which Thy glorious presence is symbolized, and whence Thou dost issue Thine authoritative oracles, and manifest Thy power on behalf of Thy people when they desire and need it. It might well be designated the ark of God’s strength, because it was through means of it the mighty miracles were wrought and the brilliant victories were won, that distinguish the early annals of the Hebrew nation. The sight of it inspired the greatest animation in the breasts of His people, while it diffused terror and dismay through the ranks of their enemies (compare Psalms 78:61).

_ _ let thy priests ... be clothed with salvation — or with righteousness (Psalms 132:9), that is, be equipped not only with the pure white linen garments Thou hast appointed for their robe of office, but also adorned with the moral beauties of true holiness, that their person and services may be accepted, both for themselves and all the people. Thus they would be “clothed with salvation,” for that is the effect and consequence of a sanctified character.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 6:12-42.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 6:41

Arise — O thou that sittest in the heavens, arise from the throne of thy glory, and come down into this place, which thou hast appointed for thy constant habitation, from which thou wilt not remove, as formerly thou hast done, from place to place. And the ark — Thou in the ark. Thy strength — Which is the sign and instrument of thy great power put forth from time to time on the behalf of thy people. Salvation — Let them be encompassed on every side with thy protection and benediction.
