It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward heaven.

Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Paul and the Tyrian disciples kneel on the beach to pray as Solomon kneels at the dedication of the temple; the gesture of kneeling for solemn prayer recalls the OT posture of supplication. Verbal volume is low (a common gesture), but the deliberate corporate kneeling at a moment of parting and danger gives the scene a liturgical coloring; thematically coherent with Israel's prayer postures.
Low confidenceBowing the knees to the Father in intercessory prayer recalls Solomon kneeling with hands spread to heaven in dedicatory prayer (1 Kings 8:54; cf. Ezra 9:5; Daniel 6:10). The kneeling-in-prayer gesture is a shared OT posture, supporting a faint echo rather than a pointed allusion.
