Then SolomonH8010 assembledH6950 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and all the headsH7218 of the tribesH4294, the chiefH5387 of the fathersH1 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, unto kingH4428 SolomonH8010 in JerusalemH3389, that they might bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, which is ZionH6726. {chief: Heb. princes}
And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 assembledH6950 themselves unto kingH4428 SolomonH8010 at the feastH2282 in the monthH3391 EthanimH388, which is the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
And all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935, and the priestsH3548 took upH5375 the arkH727.
And they brought upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and all the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 that were in the tabernacleH168, even those did the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 bring upH5927.
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, that were assembledH3259 unto him, were with him beforeH6440 the arkH727, sacrificingH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, that could not be toldH5608 nor numberedH4487 for multitudeH7230.
And the priestsH3548 brought inH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 unto his placeH4725, into the oracleH1687 of the houseH1004, to the mostH6944 holyH6944 place, even under the wingsH3671 of the cherubimsH3742.
For the cherubimsH3742 spread forthH6566 their two wingsH3671 over the placeH4725 of the arkH727, and the cherubimsH3742 coveredH5526 the arkH727 and the stavesH905 thereof aboveH4605.
And they drew outH748 the stavesH905, that the endsH7218 of the stavesH905 were seen outH7200 in the holyH6944 place beforeH6440 the oracleH1687, and they were not seenH7200 withoutH2351: and there they are unto this dayH3117. {ends: Heb. heads} {holy…: or, ark}
There was nothing in the arkH727 saveH7535 the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68, which MosesH4872 putH3240 there at HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenant with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {when the: or, where the}
And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 were come outH3318 of the holyH6944 place, that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not standH5975 to ministerH8334 becauseH6440 of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Then spakeH559 SolomonH8010, The LORDH3068 saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thick darknessH6205.
I have surelyH1129 builtH1129 thee an houseH1004 to dwell inH2073, a settled placeH4349 for thee to abide inH3427 for everH5769.
And the kingH4428 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 aboutH5437, and blessedH1288 all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478: (and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 stoodH5975;)
And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which spakeH1696 with his mouthH6310 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hath with his handH3027 fulfilledH4390 it, sayingH559,
Since the dayH3117 that I brought forthH3318 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, I choseH977 no cityH5892 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 an houseH1004, that my nameH8034 might be therein; but I choseH977 DavidH1732 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
And it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, WhereasH3282+H834 it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 that it was in thine heartH3824.
NeverthelessH7535 thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 that shall come forth outH3318 of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 unto my nameH8034.
And the LORDH3068 hath performedH6965 his wordH1697 that he spakeH1696, and I am risen upH6965 in the room of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as the LORDH3068 promisedH1696, and have builtH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And I have setH7760 there a placeH4725 for the arkH727, wherein is the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, which he madeH3772 with our fathersH1, when he brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And SolomonH8010 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 in the presence ofH5048 all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064:
And he saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee, in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, or on earthH776 beneath, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 with thy servantsH5650 that walkH1980 beforeH6440 thee with all their heartH3820:
Who hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that thou promisedstH1696 him: thou spakestH1696 also with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilledH4390 it with thine handH3027, as it is this dayH3117.
Therefore now, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that thou promisedstH1696 him, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 in my sightH6440 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478; soH7535 that thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870, that they walkH3212 beforeH6440 me as thou hast walkedH1980 beforeH6440 me. {fail…: Heb. be cut off unto thee a man from my sight} {so that: Heb. only if}
And now, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let thy wordH1697, I pray thee, be verifiedH539, which thou spakestH1696 unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1.
But will GodH430 indeedH552 dwellH3427 on the earthH776? behold, the heavenH8064 and heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 thee; how much lessH637 this houseH1004 that I have buildedH1129?
Yet have thou respectH6437 unto the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and to his supplicationH8467, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, to hearkenH8085 unto the cryH7440 and to the prayerH8605, which thy servantH5650 prayethH6419 beforeH6440 thee to dayH3117:
That thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605 toward this houseH1004 nightH3915 and dayH3117, even toward the placeH4725 of which thou hast saidH559, My nameH8034 shall be there: that thou mayest hearkenH8085 unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 shall makeH6419 toward this placeH4725. {toward this place: or, in this place}
And hearkenH8085 thou to the supplicationH8467 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when they shall prayH6419 toward this placeH4725: and hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4725: and when thou hearestH8085, forgiveH5545. {toward this place: or, in this place}
If any manH376 trespassH2398 against his neighbourH7453, and an oathH423 be laidH5375 upon him to cause him to swearH422, and the oathH423 comeH935 beforeH6440 thine altarH4196 in this houseH1004: {and an oath…: Heb. and he require an oath of him}
Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and doH6213, and judgeH8199 thy servantsH5650, condemningH7561 the wickedH7563, to bringH5414 his wayH1870 upon his headH7218; and justifyingH6663 the righteousH6662, to giveH5414 him according to his righteousnessH6666.
When thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee, and shall turn againH7725 to thee, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in this houseH1004: {in: or, toward}
Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bring them againH7725 unto the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1.
When heavenH8064 is shut upH6113, and there is no rainH4306, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; if they prayH6419 toward this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2403, when thou afflictestH6031 them:
Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy servantsH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, that thou teachH3384 them the goodH2896 wayH1870 wherein they should walkH3212, and giveH5414 rainH4306 upon thy landH776, which thou hast givenH5414 to thy peopleH5971 for an inheritanceH5159.
If there be in the landH776 famineH7458, if there be pestilenceH1698, blastingH7711, mildewH3420, locustH697, or if there be caterpillerH2625; if their enemyH341 besiegeH6887 them in the landH776 of their citiesH8179; whatsoever plagueH5061, whatsoever sicknessH4245 there be; {cities: or, jurisdiction}
What prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 soever be made by any manH120, or by all thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, which shall knowH3045 every manH376 the plagueH5061 of his own heartH3824, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward this houseH1004:
Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and forgiveH5545, and doH6213, and giveH5414 to every manH376 according to his waysH1870, whose heartH3824 thou knowestH3045; (for thou, even thou only, knowestH3045 the heartsH3824 of all the childrenH1121 of menH120;)
That they may fearH3372 thee all the daysH3117 that they liveH2416 inH6440 the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1.
Moreover concerning a strangerH5237, that is not of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, but cometh outH935 of a farH7350 countryH776 forH4616 thy name'sH8034 sake;
(For they shall hearH8085 of thy greatH1419 nameH8034, and of thy strongH2389 handH3027, and of thy stretched outH5186 armH2220;) when he shall comeH935 and prayH6419 toward this houseH1004;
HearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and doH6213 according to all that the strangerH5237 callethH7121 to thee for: that all peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thy nameH8034, to fearH3372 thee, as do thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and that they may knowH3045 that this houseH1004, which I have buildedH1129, is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {this…: Heb. thy name is called upon this house}
If thy peopleH5971 go outH3318 to battleH4421 against their enemyH341, whithersoeverH1870 thou shalt sendH7971 them, and shall prayH6419 unto the LORDH3068 towardH1870 the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 that I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034: {toward the city: Heb. the way of the city}
Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941. {cause: or, right}
If they sinH2398 against thee, (for there is no manH120 that sinnethH2398 not,) and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliverH5414 them to the enemyH341, so that they carry them awayH7617 captivesH7617 untoH6440 the landH776 of the enemyH341, farH7350 or nearH7138;
Yet if they shall bethinkH7725 themselves in the landH776 whither they were carried captivesH7617, and repentH7725+H3820, and make supplicationH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of them that carried them captivesH7617, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, and have done perverselyH5753, we have committed wickednessH7561; {bethink…: Heb. bring back to their heart}
And so returnH7725 unto thee with all their heartH3824, and with all their soulH5315, in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, which led them away captiveH7617, and prayH6419 unto thee towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:
Then hearH8085 thou their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467 in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941, {cause: or, right}
And forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 that have sinnedH2398 against thee, and all their transgressionsH6588 wherein they have transgressedH6586 against thee, and giveH5414 them compassionH7356 beforeH6440 them who carried them captiveH7617, that they may have compassionH7355 on them:
For they be thy peopleH5971, and thine inheritanceH5159, which thou broughtest forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, from the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564 of ironH1270:
That thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605 unto the supplicationH8467 of thy servantH5650, and unto the supplicationH8467 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, to hearkenH8085 unto them in all that they callH7121 for unto thee.
For thou didst separateH914 them from among all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776, to be thine inheritanceH5159, as thou spakestH1696 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 thy servantH5650, when thou broughtestH3318 our fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714, O LordH136 GODH3069.
And it was so, that when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615 of prayingH6419 all this prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 unto the LORDH3068, he aroseH6965 from beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, from kneelingH3766 on his kneesH1290 with his handsH3709 spread upH6566 to heavenH8064.
And he stoodH5975, and blessedH1288 all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, sayingH559,
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, that hath givenH5414 restH4496 unto his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, according to all that he promisedH1696: there hath not failedH5307 oneH259 wordH1697 of all his goodH2896 promiseH1697, which he promisedH1696 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 his servantH5650. {failed: Heb. fallen}
The LORDH3068 our GodH430 be with us, as he was with our fathersH1: let him not leaveH5800 us, nor forsakeH5203 us:
That he may inclineH5186 our heartsH3824 unto him, to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his statutesH2706, and his judgmentsH4941, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1.
And let these my wordsH1697, wherewith I have made supplicationH2603 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, be nighH7138 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915, that he maintainH6213 the causeH4941 of his servantH5650, and the causeH4941 of his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 at all timesH3117+H3117, as the matterH1697 shall require: {at all…: Heb. the thing of a day in his day}
That all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 is GodH430, and that there is none else.
Let your heartH3824 therefore be perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his statutesH2706, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, as at this dayH3117.
And the kingH4428, and all IsraelH3478 with him, offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And SolomonH8010 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of peace offeringsH8002, which he offeredH2076 unto the LORDH3068, twoH8147 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 oxenH1241, and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheepH6629. So the kingH4428 and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
The same dayH3117 did the kingH4428 hallowH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: for there he offeredH6213 burnt offeringsH5930, and meat offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002: because the brasenH5178 altarH4196 that was beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 was too littleH6996 to receiveH3557 the burnt offeringsH5930, and meat offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002.
And at that timeH6256 SolomonH8010 heldH6213 a feastH2282, and all IsraelH3478 with him, a greatH1419 congregationH6951, from the enteringH935 in of HamathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of EgyptH4714, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 daysH3117, even fourteenH702+H6240 daysH3117.
On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971: and they blessedH1288 the kingH4428, and wentH3212 unto their tentsH168 joyfulH8056 and gladH2896 of heartH3820 for all the goodnessH2896 that the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 for DavidH1732 his servantH5650, and for IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971. {blessed: or, thanked}

And he erectedH5324 there an altarH4196, and called itH7121 Elelohe-IsraelH415. {Elelohe-Israel: that is God the God of Israel}
Who is like unto thee, O LORDH3068, among the godsH410? who is like thee, gloriousH142 in holinessH6944, fearfulH3372 in praisesH8416, doingH6213 wondersH6382? {gods: or, mighty ones?}
KnowH3045 therefore that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, he is GodH430, the faithfulH539 GodH410, which keepethH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 with them that loveH157 him and keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755;
That the LORDH3068 may continueH6965 his wordH1697 which he spakeH1696 concerning me, sayingH559, If thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH3212 beforeH6440 me in truthH571 with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315, there shall not failH3772 thee (saidH559 he) a manH376 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478. {fail…: Heb. be cut off from thee from the throne}
And GodH430 saidH559 moreoverH5750 unto MosesH4872, Thus shalt thou sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, The LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290, hath sentH7971 me unto you: this is my nameH8034 for everH5769, and this is my memorialH2143 unto allH1755 generationsH1755.
There is none holyH6918 as the LORDH3068: for there is none besideH1115 thee: neither is there any rockH6697 like our GodH430.
And saidH559, I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064, the greatH1419 and terribleH3372 GodH410, that keepethH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 for them that loveH157 him and observeH8104 his commandmentsH4687:
And SolomonH8010 saidH559, Thou hast shewedH6213 unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 greatH1419 mercyH2617, according as he walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571, and in righteousnessH6666, and in uprightnessH3483 of heartH3824 with thee; and thou hast keptH8104 for him this greatH1419 kindnessH2617, that thou hast givenH5414 him a sonH1121 to sitH3427 on his throneH3678, as it is this dayH3117. {mercy: or, bounty}
Wherefore thou art greatH1431, O LORDH3068 GodH430: for there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besideH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241.
Now therefore, our GodH430, the greatH1419, the mightyH1368, and the terribleH3372 GodH410, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617, let not all the troubleH8513 seem littleH4591 beforeH6440 thee, that hath comeH4672 upon us, on our kingsH4428, on our princesH8269, and on our priestsH3548, and on our prophetsH5030, and on our fathersH1, and on all thy peopleH5971, since the timeH3117 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804 unto this dayH3117. {trouble: Heb. weariness} {that…: Heb. that hath found us}

All my bonesH6106 shall sayH559, LORDH3068, who is like unto thee, which deliverestH5337 the poorH6041 from him that is too strongH2389 for him, yea, the poorH6041 and the needyH34 from him that spoilethH1497 him?
I have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with my chosenH972, I have swornH7650 unto DavidH1732 my servantH5650,

And the heavensH8064 shall praiseH3034 thy wondersH6382, O LORDH3068: thy faithfulnessH530 also in the congregationH6951 of the saintsH6918.
And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
Among the godsH430 there is none like unto thee, O LordH136; neither are there any works like unto thy worksH4639.
And I prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068 my GodH430, and made my confessionH3034, and saidH559, OH577 LordH136, the greatH1419 and dreadfulH3372 GodH410, keepingH8104 the covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 to them that loveH157 him, and to them that keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687;
I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068, rememberH2142 now how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with a great weeping}
For who in the heavenH7834 can be comparedH6186 unto the LORDH3068? who among the sonsH1121 of the mightyH410 can be likenedH1819 unto the LORDH3068?
GodH410 is greatlyH7227 to be fearedH6206 in the assemblyH5475 of the saintsH6918, and to be had in reverenceH3372 of all them that are aboutH5439 him.
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, who is a strongH2626 LORDH3050 like unto thee? or to thy faithfulnessH530 round aboutH5439 thee?
He will turn againH7725, he will have compassionH7355 upon us; he will subdueH3533 our iniquitiesH5771; and thou wilt castH7993 all their sinsH2403 into the depthsH4688 of the seaH3220.
Who is like unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430, who dwellethH3427 on highH1361, {dwelleth…: Heb. exalteth himself to dwell}
Thou wilt performH5414 the truthH571 to JacobH3290, and the mercyH2617 to AbrahamH85, which thou hast swornH7650 unto our fathersH1 from the daysH3117 of oldH6924.
To performG4160 the mercyG1656 promised toG3326 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 to rememberG3415 hisG846 holyG40 covenantG1242;
Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORDH3068; thou art greatH1419, and thy nameH8034 is greatH1419 in mightH1369.
