[1]Now when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615[H8763] of prayingH6419[H8692], the fireH784 came downH3381[H8804] from heavenH8064, and consumedH398[H8799] the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificesH2077; and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390[H8804] the houseH1004.
[2]And the priestsH3548 couldH3201[H8804] not enterH935[H8800] into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, because the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390[H8804] the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
[3]And when all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200[H8802] how the fireH784 came downH3381[H8800], and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 upon the houseH1004, they bowedH3766[H8799] themselves with their facesH639 to the groundH776 upon the pavementH7531, and worshippedH7812[H8691], and praisedH3034[H8687] the LORDH3068, saying, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
[4]Then the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 offeredH2076[H8802] sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
[5]And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 offeredH2076[H8799] a sacrificeH2077 of twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 oxenH1241, and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheepH6629: so the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 dedicatedH2596[H8799] the houseH1004 of GodH430.
[6]And the priestsH3548 waitedH5975[H8802] on their officesH4931: the LevitesH3881 also with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892 of the LORDH3068, which DavidH1732 the kingH4428 had madeH6213[H8804] to praiseH3034[H8687] the LORDH3068, because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769, when DavidH1732 praisedH1984[H8763] by their ministryH3027; and the priestsH3548 sounded trumpetsH2690[H8688][H8675][H2690][H8764] before them, and all IsraelH3478 stoodH5975.[H8802]
[7]Moreover SolomonH8010 hallowedH6942[H8762] the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: for there he offeredH6213[H8804] burnt offeringsH5930, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, because the brasenH5178 altarH4196 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213[H8804] was not ableH3201[H8804] to receiveH3557[H8687] the burnt offeringsH5930, and the meat offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459.
[8]Also at the same timeH6256 SolomonH8010 keptH6213[H8799] the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and all IsraelH3478 with him, a veryH3966 greatH1419 congregationH6951, from the entering inH935[H8800] of HamathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of EgyptH4714.
[9]And in the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they madeH6213[H8799] a solemn assemblyH6116: for they keptH6213[H8804] the dedicationH2598 of the altarH4196 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
[10]And on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971[H8765] into their tentsH168, gladH8056 and merryH2896 in heartH3820 for the goodnessH2896 that the LORDH3068 had shewedH6213[H8804] unto DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010, and to IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971.
[11]Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615[H8762] the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and all that cameH935[H8802] into Solomon'sH8010 heartH3820 to makeH6213[H8800] in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in his own houseH1004, he prosperously effectedH6743.[H8689]
[12]And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200[H8735] to SolomonH8010 by nightH3915, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, I have heardH8085[H8804] thy prayerH8605, and have chosenH977[H8804] this placeH4725 to myself for an houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077.
[13]IfH2005 I shut upH6113[H8799] heavenH8064 that there be no rainH4306, or if I commandH6680[H8762] the locustsH2284 to devourH398[H8800] the landH776, or if I sendH7971[H8762] pestilenceH1698 among my peopleH5971;
[14]If my peopleH5971, which are calledH7121[H8738] by my nameH8034, shall humbleH3665[H8735] themselves, and prayH6419[H8691], and seekH1245[H8762] my faceH6440, and turnH7725[H8799] from their wickedH7451 waysH1870; then will I hearH8085[H8799] from heavenH8064, and will forgiveH5545[H8799] their sinH2403, and will healH7495[H8799] their landH776.
[15]Now mine eyesH5869 shall be openH6605[H8803], and mine earsH241 attentH7183 unto the prayerH8605 that is made in this placeH4725.
[16]For now have I chosenH977[H8804] and sanctifiedH6942[H8689] this houseH1004, that my nameH8034 may be there forH5704 everH5769: and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH3117.
[17]And as for thee, if thou wilt walkH3212[H8799] beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980[H8804], and doH6213[H8800] according to all that I have commandedH6680[H8765] thee, and shalt observeH8104[H8799] my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941;
[18]Then will I stablishH6965[H8689] the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4438, according as I have covenantedH3772[H8804] with DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559[H8800], There shall not failH3772[H8735] thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910[H8802] in IsraelH3478.
[19]But if ye turn awayH7725[H8799], and forsakeH5800[H8804] my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, which I have setH5414[H8804] beforeH6440 you, and shall goH1980[H8804] and serveH5647[H8804] otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 themH8694;
[20]Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428[H8804] out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414[H8804] them; and this houseH1004, which I have sanctifiedH6942[H8689] for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7993[H8686] of my sightH6440, and will makeH5414[H8799] it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nationsH5971.
[21]And this houseH1004, which is highH5945, shall be an astonishmentH8074[H8799] to every one that passethH5674[H8802] by it; so that he shall sayH559[H8804], Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213[H8804] thus unto this landH776, and unto this houseH1004?
[22]And it shall be answeredH559[H8804], Because they forsookH5800[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them forthH3318[H8689] out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid holdH2388[H8686] on otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812[H8691] them, and servedH5647[H8799] them: therefore hath he broughtH935[H8689] all this evil upon themH7451.
