3. THE KING UTTERS THE PRAYER OF CONSECRATION (2 Chronicles 6:12-42).
(Comp. 1 Kings 8:22-53.)
The whole is given as in Kings, save that one verse (2 Chronicles 6:13) is added, and the peroration (2 Chronicles 6:40-42) is quite different.
(12) Stood. — Took his place. It is not implied that he remained standing. (Comp. 1 Samuel 17:51; 2 Chronicles 6:3, supr.)
Spread forth his hands. — Towards heaven (Kings). Syriac and Arabic have both.
