Now when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615 of praying,H6419 the fireH784 cameH3381 downH3381 from heaven,H8064 and consumedH398 the burntH5930 offering and the sacrifices;H2077 and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the house.H1004
2
And the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not enterH935 intoH413 the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 becauseH3588 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the LORD'sH3068 house.H1004
3
And when allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 how the fireH784 cameH3381 down,H3381 and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 on the house,H1004 they bowedH3766 themselves with their facesH639 to the groundH776 on the pavement,H7531 and worshipped,H7812 and praisedH3034 the LORD,H3068 saying, For he is good;H2896 for his mercyH2617 endures for ever.H5769
4
Then the kingH4428 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the LORD.H3068
5
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH7239 H505 oxen,H1241 and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH7239 H505 sheep:H6629 so the kingH4428 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of God.H430
6
And the priestsH3548 waitedH5975 on their offices:H4931 the LevitesH3881 also with instrumentsH3627 of musicH7892 of the LORD,H3068 whichH834 DavidH1732 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 to praiseH3034 the LORD,H3068 becauseH3588 his mercyH2617 endures for ever,H5769 when DavidH1732 praisedH1984 by their ministry;H3027 and the priestsH3548 soundedH2690 trumpets beforeH5048 them, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 stood.H5975
7
Moreover SolomonH8010 hallowedH6942 the middleH8484 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the LORD:H3068 for thereH8033 he offeredH6213 burntH5930 offerings, and the fatH2459 of the peaceH8002 offerings, becauseH3588 the brazenH5178 altarH4196 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 was not ableH3201 to receiveH3557 the burntH5930 offerings,H4503 and the meat offerings, and the fat.H2459
8
Also at the sameH1931 timeH6256 SolomonH8010 keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 days,H3117 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him, a veryH3966 greatH1419 congregation,H6951 from the enteringH935 in of HamathH2574 to the riverH5158 of Egypt.H4714
9
And in the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they madeH6213 a solemnH6116 assembly:H6116 for they keptH6213 the dedicationH2598 of the altarH4196 sevenH7651 days,H3117 and the feastH2282 sevenH7651 days.H3117
10
And on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 away into their tents,H168 gladH8056 and merryH2896 in heartH3820 for the goodnessH2896 that the LORDH3068 had showedH6213 to David,H1732 and to Solomon,H8010 and to IsraelH3478 his people.H5971
11
Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615 the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and the king'sH4428 house:H1004 and allH3605 that cameH935 intoH5921 Solomon'sH8010 heartH3820 to makeH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and in his own house,H1004 he prosperouslyH6743 effected.H6743
12
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 by night,H3915 and saidH559 to him, I have heardH8085 your prayer,H8605 and have chosenH977 thisH2088 placeH4725 to myself for an houseH1004 of sacrifice.H2077
13
IfH2005 I shutH6113 up heavenH8064 that there be noH3808 rain,H4306 or ifH2005 I commandH6680 the locustsH2284 to devourH398 the land,H776 or ifH518 I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among my people;H5971
14
If my people,H5971 whichH834 are calledH7121 by my name,H8034 shall humbleH3665 themselves, and pray,H6419 and seekH1245 my face,H6440 and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 ways;H1870 then will I hearH8085 from heaven,H8064 and will forgiveH5545 their sin,H2403 and will healH7495 their land.H776
15
NowH6258 my eyesH5869 shall be open,H6605 and my earsH241 attentiveH7183 to the prayerH8605 that is madeH6213 in thisH2088 place.H4725
16
For nowH6258 have I chosenH977 and sanctifiedH6942 thisH2088 house,H1004 that my nameH8034 may be thereH8033 for ever:H5769 and my eyesH5869 and my heartH3820 shall be thereH8033 perpetually.H3605 H3117
17
And as for you, ifH518 you will walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 your fatherH25 walked,H1980 and doH6213 according to allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 you, and shall observeH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgments;H4941
18
Then will I establishH6965 the throneH3678 of your kingdom,H4438 according as I have covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 your father,H25 saying,H559 There shall not failH3772 you a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in Israel.H3478
19
But ifH518 you turnH7725 away, and forsakeH5800 my statutesH2708 and my commandments,H4687 whichH834 I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, and shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 gods,H430 and worshipH7812 them;
20
Then will I pluckH5428 them up by the rootsH5428 out of my landH127 whichH834 I have givenH5414 them; and thisH2088 house,H1004 whichH834 I have sanctifiedH6942 for my name,H8034 will I castH7993 out of my sight,H6440 and will makeH5414 it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among allH3605 nations.H5971
21
And thisH2088 house,H1004 whichH834 is high,H5945 shall be an astonishmentH8074 to everyH3605 one that passesH5674 by it; so that he shall say,H559 WhyH4100 has the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thusH3602 to thisH2063 land,H776 and to thisH2088 house?H1004
22
And it shall be answered,H559 BecauseH3282 H834 they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathers,H1 whichH834 broughtH3318 them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 gods,H430 and worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: thereforeH5921 H3651 has he broughtH935 allH3605 thisH2063 evilH7451 on them.
