Citazione Commento su II Cronache 7:12

נטמא בעזרה – and he knew that he was defiled and prostrated himself with this act that escaped him towards the inside, even though he did wait/delay, or prostrated towards the outside, and he who delayed/waited in order to prostrate. But the measure of the prostration is in order that a person can read this Biblical verse in their inhabitable condition (restoration) (II Chronicles 7:12): “they knelt with their faces to the ground and prostrated themselves, praising the LORD, ‘For He is good, for His steadfast love is eternal,” and this is the Biblical verse.

Yet I have set My king: – He says: They, forsooth, are purposing to root out the kingdom from the house of David, though I have made him king and set him up! And the word נסכתי connotes chieftainship and greatness, as (in the verse) “the princes (נסיכי) of Sihon” (Josh. 13:21); and also “their gods with their princes” (נסכיהס) (Dan. 11:8). My king – he means to say, The king that is Mine in that I have made him king; just as it is said (1 Sam. 16:1) “For I have provided among his sons a king for Myself.” He means by for Myself, for My worship, and so he says My king. And conversely it is said (Ps. 74:12): “And God is my King from of old,” where the meaning is, who rules over me. Thus is the usage of the pronominal suffixes. And so (in the verse) “Remove Thy stroke from me” (Ps. 39:11); “Aloof from My plague do they stand” (Ps. 38:12); “and I will make them joyful in My house of prayer” (Is. 56:7); “I have heard thy prayer” (1 Kings 9:3; 2 Kings 20:5; Is. 38:5; 2 Chron. 7:12), and other similar (examples), as we have explained in the book Miklol in the grammatical section of it. And he says:

and You will hear and save as Solomon prayed before You, and You promised him to do so, as is written (above 6:24): “And if Your people is struck down,” continuing with the entire chapter until (verse 30): “and forgive and give to each man according to his ways.” And the Lord accepted his prayer, as it is written (ibid. 7:12): “And the Lord appeared to Solomon, and said to him: I have heard your prayer,” continuing with the entire chapter until (ibid. verse 14) “and forgive their sin and heal their land.” Now I pray that You remember the promise which You promised him, and hear and save us from our enemies who are coming upon us.
