But I have built. — And I, on my part, have built. Kings, “I have built” (bânôh bânîthî); scil., as “Thou didst indicate.” This seems original. So the Syr. here, mebnô b’nîth, but not LXX. and Vulg.
Habitation. — Zĕbûl, a poetic word, occurring only five times. (Comp. Habakkuk 3:11.)
And a place. — And, added here, weakens the force of the poetic parallelism.
A place for thy dwelling. — (Exodus 15:17) another poetic expression.
For ever. — (Through) ages. So only in this account and Psalms 61:5.
