1 Kings 5:3

Thou knowest, by common fame, and by particular information. Could not build an house unto the name of the Lord his God, i.e. either, first, For the worship and service of God, 1 Kings 3:2. Or, secondly, For the Lord himself, as that phrase is used, Deuteronomy 28:58 Psalms 20:1, Psalms 52:9. Which were about him on every side; which diverted his cares and thoughts to other things, and withal occasioned God's denial of the honour of that work to him. Put them under the soles of his feet, i.e. made them subject to him, that he might trample upon them at his pleasure. Compare Psalms 8:6 1 Corinthians 15:27.
