42 Jehovah Elohim, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember mercies to David thy servant.
Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies of David.
{A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;
And now I ask one petition of thee; refuse me not. And she said to him, Speak.
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
My loving-kindness will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him;
For thy servant David's sake, turn not away the face of thine anointed.

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 6 John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 5 & 6
The words with which chapter five begins are the same with 1 Kings 7:51 and what is contained in that and chapter six is much the same with 1 Kings 8:1 on which see the notes; the blessing of Solomon on the people of Israel, which is there, is here omitted, and two verses are here added, much the same with Psalm 132:8.
