For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
Ver. 27. Therefore hath thy servant found in his heart.] Or, as some read it, and the original will well bear it, Therefore hath thy servant found his heart - viz., thus well-affected, and all the powers of his soul concentred in the making of this prayer unto thee. He light of such a heart by hap, as we say, or upon serious and long seeking of such a heart; for the Hebrew word will bear both.
