Now when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615 of prayingH6419, the fireH784 came downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificesH2077; and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004.
And the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not enterH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, because the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
And when all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 how the fireH784 came downH3381, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 upon the houseH1004, they bowedH3766 themselves with their facesH639 to the groundH776 upon the pavementH7531, and worshippedH7812, and praisedH3034 the LORDH3068, saying, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
Then the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 oxenH1241, and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheepH6629: so the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of GodH430.
And the priestsH3548 waitedH5975 on their officesH4931: the LevitesH3881 also with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892 of the LORDH3068, which DavidH1732 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 to praiseH3034 the LORDH3068, because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769, when DavidH1732 praisedH1984 by their ministryH3027; and the priestsH3548 sounded trumpetsH2690+H2690 before them, and all IsraelH3478 stoodH5975. {by their…: Heb. by their hand}
Moreover SolomonH8010 hallowedH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: for there he offeredH6213 burnt offeringsH5930, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, because the brasenH5178 altarH4196 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 was not ableH3201 to receiveH3557 the burnt offeringsH5930, and the meat offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459.
Also at the same timeH6256 SolomonH8010 keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and all IsraelH3478 with him, a veryH3966 greatH1419 congregationH6951, from the entering inH935 of HamathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of EgyptH4714.
And in the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they madeH6213 a solemn assemblyH6116: for they keptH6213 the dedicationH2598 of the altarH4196 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117. {a solemn…: Heb. a restraint}
And on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971 into their tentsH168, gladH8056 and merryH2896 in heartH3820 for the goodnessH2896 that the LORDH3068 had shewedH6213 unto DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010, and to IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971.
Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and all that cameH935 into Solomon'sH8010 heartH3820 to makeH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in his own houseH1004, he prosperously effectedH6743.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 by nightH3915, and saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, and have chosenH977 this placeH4725 to myself for an houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077.
IfH2005 I shut upH6113 heavenH8064 that there be no rainH4306, or if I commandH6680 the locustsH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or if I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among my peopleH5971;
If my peopleH5971, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, shall humbleH3665 themselves, and prayH6419, and seekH1245 my faceH6440, and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870; then will I hearH8085 from heavenH8064, and will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403, and will healH7495 their landH776. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
Now mine eyesH5869 shall be openH6605, and mine earsH241 attentH7183 unto the prayerH8605 that is made in this placeH4725. {unto…: Heb. to the prayer of this place}
For now have I chosenH977 and sanctifiedH6942 this houseH1004, that my nameH8034 may be there forH5704 everH5769: and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH3117.
And as for thee, if thou wilt walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and shalt observeH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941;
Then will I stablishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4438, according as I have covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478. {There…: Heb. There shall not be cut off to thee}
But if ye turn awayH7725, and forsakeH5800 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, and shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them;
Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428 out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have sanctifiedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7993 of my sightH6440, and will makeH5414 it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nationsH5971.
And this houseH1004, which is highH5945, shall be an astonishmentH8074 to every one that passethH5674 by it; so that he shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and unto this houseH1004?
And it shall be answeredH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath he broughtH935 all this evilH7451 upon them.

And at this houseH1004, which is highH5945, every one that passethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?
Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to troubleH2189+H2113, to astonishmentH8047, and to hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869. {trouble: Heb. commotion}
Even all nationsH1471 shall sayH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776? what meaneth the heatH2750 of this greatH1419 angerH639?
Then men shall sayH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which he madeH3772 with them when he brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
For they wentH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, and whom he had not givenH2505 unto them: {whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portion} {given: Heb. divided}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against this landH776, to bringH935 upon it all the cursesH7045 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612:
And the LORDH3068 rootedH5428 them out of their landH127 in angerH639, and in wrathH2534, and in greatH1419 indignationH7110, and castH7993 them into anotherH312 landH776, as it is this dayH3117.
And I will makeH7760 this cityH5892 desolateH8047, and an hissingH8322; every one that passethH5674 thereby shall be astonishedH8074 and hissH8319 because of all the plaguesH4347 thereof.
And at this houseH1004, which is highH5945, every one that passethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?
Also EdomH123 shall be a desolationH8047: every one that goethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319 at all the plaguesH4347 thereof.
And they shall answerH559, Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who brought forthH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have taken holdH2388 upon otherH312 godsH430, and have worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 upon them all this evilH7451.
Because of the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 it shall not be inhabitedH3427, but it shall be wholly desolateH8077: every one that goethH5674 by BabylonH894 shall be astonishedH8074, and hissH8319 at all her plaguesH4347.
And it shall come to pass, when ye shall sayH559, WhereforeH8478+H4100 doethH6213 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 all these things unto us? then shalt thou answerH559 them, Like as ye have forsakenH5800 me, and servedH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430 in your landH776, so shall ye serveH5647 strangersH2114 in a landH776 that is not yours.
And if thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Wherefore comeH7122 these things upon me? For the greatnessH7230 of thine iniquityH5771 are thy skirtsH7757 discoveredH1540, and thy heelsH6119 made bareH2554. {made…: or, shall be violently taken away}
And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shewH5046 this peopleH5971 all these wordsH1697, and they shall sayH559 unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 pronouncedH1696 all this greatH1419 evilH7451 against us? or what is our iniquityH5771? or what is our sinH2403 that we have committedH2398 against the LORDH3068 our GodH430?
Then shalt thou sayH559 unto them, Because your fathersH1 have forsakenH5800 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and have walkedH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430, and have servedH5647 them, and have worshippedH7812 them, and have forsakenH5800 me, and have not keptH8104 my lawH8451;
And ye have doneH6213 worseH7489 than your fathersH1; for, beholdH2009, ye walkH1980 every oneH376 afterH310 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820, that they may not hearkenH8085 unto me: {imagination: or, stubbornness}
And manyH7227 nationsH1471 shall passH5674 by this cityH5892, and they shall sayH559 every manH376 to his neighbourH7453, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this greatH1419 cityH5892?
