2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.
So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 7
In this chapter we have God's answer to Solomon's prayer.
2Ch 7:1-11
Here is,
2Ch 7:12-22
That God accepted Solomon's prayer appeared by the fire from heaven. But a prayer may be accepted and yet not answered in the letter of it; and therefore God appeared to him in the night, as he did once before (ch. 1:7), and after a day of sacrifice too, as then, and gave him a peculiar answer to his prayer. We had the substance of it before, 1 Ki. 9:2-9.
