Kings shall reverence the temple, which David foresaw would be shortly erected; or, “with greater magnificence, than in the temple of Jerusalem, kings shall offer gifts to thee,” (Deschamps) which clearly refers to the Messias. Bert. — “As soon as thy temples shall be,” &c. Under Solomon, many kings became tributary, and at the preaching of the gospel, emperors submitted to Christ.
