1 Now when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615 of praying,H6419 the fireH784 came downH3381 from heaven,H8064 and consumedH398 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrifices;H2077 and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the house.H1004 2 And the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not enterH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 because the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the LORD'SH3068 house.H1004 3 And when all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 how the fireH784 came down,H3381 and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 upon the house,H1004 they bowedH3766 themselves with their facesH639 to the groundH776 upon the pavement,H7531 and worshipped,H7812 and praisedH3034 the LORD,H3068 saying, For he is good;H2896 for his mercyH2617 endureth for ever.H5769 4 Then the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the LORD.H3068 5 And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 oxen,H1241 and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheep:H6629 so the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of God.H430 6 And the priestsH3548 waitedH5975 on their offices:H4931 the LevitesH3881 also with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892 of the LORD,H3068 which DavidH1732 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 to praiseH3034 the LORD,H3068 because his mercyH2617 endureth for ever,H5769 when DavidH1732 praisedH1984 by their ministry;H3027 and the priestsH3548 sounded trumpetsH2690 before them, and all IsraelH3478 stood.H5975 7 Moreover SolomonH8010 hallowedH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the LORD:H3068 for there he offeredH6213 burnt offerings,H5930 and the fatH2459 of the peace offerings,H8002 because the brasenH5178 altarH4196 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 was not ableH3201 to receiveH3557 the burnt offerings,H5930 and the meat offerings,H4503 and the fat.H2459 8 Also at the same timeH6256 SolomonH8010 keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 days,H3117 and all IsraelH3478 with him, a veryH3966 greatH1419 congregation,H6951 from the entering inH935 of HamathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of Egypt.H4714 9 And in the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they madeH6213 a solemn 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 awayH7971 into their tents,H168 gladH8056 and merryH2896 in heartH3820 for the goodnessH2896 that the LORDH3068 had shewedH6213 unto 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 all that cameH935 into Solomon'sH8010 heartH3820 to makeH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORD,H3068 and in his own house,H1004 he prosperously effected.H6743 12 And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 by night,H3915 and saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayer,H8605 and have chosenH977 this placeH4725 to myself for an houseH1004 of sacrifice.H2077 13 IfH2005 I shut upH6113 heavenH8064 that there be no rain,H4306 or if I commandH6680 the locustsH2284 to devourH398 the land,H776 or if I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among my people;H5971 14 If my people,H5971 which 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 Now mine eyesH5869 shall be open,H6605 and mine earsH241 attentH7183 unto the prayerH8605 that is made in this place.H4725 16 For now have I chosenH977 and sanctifiedH6942 this house,H1004 that my nameH8034 may be there forH5704 ever:H5769 and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetually.H3117 17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walked,H1980 and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and shalt observeH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgments;H4941 18 Then will I stablishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdom,H4438 according as I have covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 thy father,H1 saying,H559 There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in Israel.H3478 19 But if ye turn away,H7725 and forsakeH5800 my statutesH2708 and my commandments,H4687 which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, and shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 gods,H430 and worshipH7812 them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428 out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this house,H1004 which I have sanctifiedH6942 for my name,H8034 will I cast outH7993 of my sight,H6440 and will makeH5414 it to be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nations.H5971 21 And this house,H1004 which is high,H5945 shall be an astonishmentH8074 to every one that passethH5674 by it; so that he shall say,H559 Why hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this land,H776 and unto this house?H1004 22 And it shall be answered,H559 Because they forsookH5800 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathers,H1 which brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 gods,H430 and worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath he broughtH935 all this evilH7451 upon them.
