H8010
Now when Solomon
H3615 [H8763]
had finished
H6419 [H8692]
praying,
H784
the fire
H3381 [H8804]
came down
H8064
from heaven,
H398 [H8799]
and consumed
H5930
the burnt offering
H2077
and the sacrifices;
H3519
and the glory
H3068
of the LORD
H4390 [H8804]
filled
H1004
the house.
2
H3548
And the priests
H3201 [H8804]
could
H935 [H8800]
not enter
H1004
into the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H3519
because the glory
H3068
of the LORD
H4390 [H8804]
had filled
H3068
the LORD'S
H1004
house.
3
H1121
And when all the sons
H3478
of Israel
H7200 [H8802]
saw
H784
how the fire
H3381 [H8800]
came down,
H3519
and the glory
H3068
of the LORD
H1004
upon the house,
H3766 [H8799]
they bowed
H639
themselves with their noses
H776
to the earth
H7531
upon the pavement,
H7812 [H8691]
and worshipped,
H3034 [H8687]
and praised
H3068
the LORD,
H2896
saying, For he is good;
H2617
for his mercy
H5769
endureth to the age.
4
H4428
Then the king
H5971
and all the people
H2076 [H8802]
offered
H2077
sacrifices
H6440
at the face of
H3068
the LORD.
5
H4428
And king
H8010
Solomon
H2076 [H8799]
offered
H2077
a sacrifice
H6242
of twenty
H8147
and two
H505
thousand
H1241
oxen,
H3967
and an hundred
H6242
and twenty
H505
thousand
H6629
sheep:
H4428
so the king
H5971
and all the people
H2596 [H8799]
dedicated
H1004
the house
H430
of God.
6
H3548
And the priests
H5975 [H8802]
stood
H4931
at their posts:
H3881
the Levites
H3627
also with instruments
H7892
of music
H3068
of the LORD,
H1732
which David
H4428
the king
H6213 [H8804]
had made
H3034 [H8687]
to praise
H3068
the LORD,
H2617
because his mercy
H5769
endureth to the age,
H1732
when David
H1984 [H8763]
praised
H3027
by their hand;
H3548
and the priests
H2690 H2690 [H8688]
sounded trumpets
H3478
before them, and all Israel
H5975 [H8802]
stood.
7
H8010
Moreover Solomon
H6942 [H8762]
hallowed
H8432
the middle
H2691
of the court
H6440
that was at the face of
H1004
the house
H3068
of the LORD:
H6213 [H8804]
for there he offered
H5930
burnt offerings,
H2459
and the fat
H8002
of the peace offerings,
H5178
because the brasen
H4196
altar
H8010
which Solomon
H6213 [H8804]
had made
H3201 [H8804]
was not able
H3557 [H8687]
to receive
H5930
the burnt offerings,
H4503
and the meat offerings,
H2459
and the fat.
8
H6256
Also at the same time
H8010
Solomon
H6213 [H8799]
kept
H2282
the feast
H7651
seven
H3117
days,
H3478
and all Israel
H3966
with him, a very
H1419
great
H6951
congregation,
H935 [H8800]
from the entrance
H2574
of Hamath
H5158
to the river
H4714
of Egypt.
9
H8066
And on the eighth
H3117
day
H6213 [H8799]
they made
H6116
a solemn assembly:
H6213 [H8804]
for they kept
H2598
the dedication
H4196
of the altar
H7651
seven
H3117
days,
H2282
and the feast
H7651
seven
H3117
days.
10
H7969
And on the three
H6242
and twentieth
H3117
day
H7637
of the seventh
H2320
month
H7971 0
he sent
H5971
the people
H7971 [H8765]
away
H168
to their tents,
H8056
glad
H2896
and merry
H3820
in heart
H2896
for the goodness
H3068
that the LORD
H6213 [H8804]
had shown
H1732
to David,
H8010
and to Solomon,
H3478
and to Israel
H5971
his people.
11
H8010
Thus Solomon
H3615 [H8762]
finished
H1004
the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H4428
and the king's
H1004
house:
H935 [H8802]
and all that came
H8010
into Solomon's
H3820
heart
H6213 [H8800]
to make
H1004
in the house
H3068
of the LORD,
H1004
and in his own house,
H6743 [H8689]
he prosperously effected.
12
H3068
And the LORD
H7200 [H8735]
appeared
H8010
to Solomon
H3915
by night,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H8085 [H8804]
to him, I have heard
H8605
thy prayer,
H977 [H8804]
and have chosen
H4725
this place
H1004
to myself for an house
H2077
of sacrifice.
13
H2005
If
H6113 [H8799]
I shut up
H8064
heaven
H4306
that there be no rain,
H6680 [H8762]
or if I command
H2284
the locusts
H398 [H8800]
to devour
H776
the land,
H7971 [H8762]
or if I send
H1698
pestilence
H5971
among my people;
14
H5971
If my people,
H7121 [H8738]
who are called
H8034
by my name,
H3665 [H8735]
shall humble
H6419 [H8691]
themselves, and pray,
H1245 [H8762]
and seek
H6440
my face,
H7725 [H8799]
and turn
H7451
from their wicked
H1870
ways;
H8085 [H8799]
then will I hear
H8064
from heaven,
H5545 [H8799]
and will forgive
H2403
their sin,
H7495 [H8799]
and will heal
H776
their land.
15
H5869
Now my eyes
H6605 [H8803]
shall be open,
H241
and my ears
H7183
attentive
H8605
to the prayer
H4725
that is made in this place.
16
H977 [H8804]
For now have I chosen
H6942 [H8689]
and sanctified
H1004
this house,
H8034
that my name
H5704
may be there for
H5769
ever:
H5869
and my eyes
H3820
and my heart
H3117
shall be there perpetually.
17
H3212 [H8799]
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk
H6440
at the face of
H1732
me, as David
H1
thy father
H1980 [H8804]
walked,
H6213 [H8800]
and do
H6680 [H8765]
according to all that I have commanded
H8104 [H8799]
thee, and shalt observe
H2706
my statutes
H4941
and my judgments;
18
H6965 [H8689]
Then will I raise
H3678
the throne
H4438
of thy kingdom,
H3772 [H8804]
according as I have covenanted
H1732
with David
H1
thy father,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H3772 [H8735]
There shall not fail
H376
thee a man
H4910 [H8802]
to be ruler
H3478
in Israel.
19
H7725 [H8799]
But if ye turn away,
H5800 [H8804]
and forsake
H2708
my statutes
H4687
and my commandments,
H5414 [H8804]
which I have set
H6440
at the face of
H1980 [H8804]
you, and shall go
H5647 [H8804]
and serve
H312
other
H430
gods,
H7812 [H8694]
and worship them;
20
H5428 [H8804]
Then will I pluck them up by the roots
H127
out of my soil
H5414 [H8804]
which I have given
H1004
them; and this house,
H6942 [H8689]
which I have sanctified
H8034
for my name,
H7993 [H8686]
will I cast out
H6440
of my sight,
H5414 [H8799]
and will make
H4912
it to be a proverb
H8148
and a byword
H5971
among all peoples.
21
H1004
And this house,
H5945
which is high,
H8074 [H8799]
shall be an astonishment
H5674 [H8802]
to every one that passeth
H559 [H8804]
by it; so that he shall say,
H3068
Why hath the LORD
H6213 [H8804]
done
H776
thus to this land,
H1004
and to this house?
22
H559 [H8804]
And it shall be answered,
H5800 [H8804]
Because they forsook
H3068
the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers,
H3318 [H8689]
who brought them
H776
out of the land
H4714
of Egypt,
H2388 [H8686]
and laid hold
H312
on other
H430
gods,
H7812 [H8691]
and worshipped
H5647 [H8799]
them, and served
H935 [H8689]
them: therefore hath he brought
H7451
all this evil upon them.
