1 Kings 8:54

And it was [so], that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

Ver. 54. When Solomon had made an end of praying.] See 2 Chronicles 6:41, where something more is added, and God's answer - by fire from heaven consuming the sacrifices - recorded.

From kneeling on his knees.] Notent hoc nobiles delicatuli et gloriosuli, saith A Lapide here, qui orant uno genu in terra fixo, alterio elevato quasi pugnaturi cum Deo, sin concedat; Let this be noted by our stout and stiff gentry, who use to pray kneeling on one knee only, as if they would fight with God, unless they may have what they would of him.
