ExplanationCommentary
Verse 3. If. He expresses his vow in the form of an imprecation, without expressing the penalty, as he submits to the rigour of God’s justice, if he proves faithless. Calmet.—He vows to take no rest, till he might, if it so pleased God, find a place to build a temple. Worthington.—This he discovered; yet was not permitted to execute his pious designs. How does his fervour confound our neglect of salvation! Bible.—Self-love shuts the door of our heart against Christ. Saint Augustine
