Vers. 10, 11. The moment that might have witnessed the utmost inflation of spiritual pride, the acme of ambition, the highest point of even moral kind of grandeur, being touched, is saved from the peril. To the performing of the Lord" the glory is all given. (Luk_1:54, Luk_1:55, Luk_1:68-72) Probably delivered from earthly feeling, and sheltered just now from self and human ambition, Solomon was in a very high degree "in the spirit" (Rev_1:10) on this great day. The moment was a proud moment in Solomon"s history, as well there may be proud moments in men"s lives, but it was divinely shielded, as divinely inspired. Hereafter, for all that, "the thorn in the flesh" might become very necessary, lest Solomon "be exalted above measure" in the memory of all that had transpired.

6:10-11 The Chronicler blends the covenant of Sinai, represented by the Ark, with the Jerusalem Temple and the Davidic dynasty; he makes no mention of Israel’s exodus from Egypt, only implying it with reference to the Ark. God’s covenant relationship with Israel under Solomon and David formed the basis for the community’s relationship with God at the time of the Chronicler.
