¹ Then Solomon ^H8010 assembled ^H6950 the elders ^H2205 of Israel, ^H3478 and all the heads ^H7218 of the tribes, ^H4294 the chief ^H5387 of the fathers ^H1 of the children ^H1121 of Israel, ^H3478 unto king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 in Jerusalem, ^H3389 that they might bring up ^H5927 the ark ^H727 of the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD ^H3068 out of the city ^H5892 of David, ^H1732 which is Zion. ^H6726

² And all the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 assembled ^H6950 themselves unto king ^H4428 Solomon ^H8010 at the feast ^H2282 in the month ^H3391 Ethanim, ^H388 which is the seventh ^H7637 month. ^H2320

³ And all the elders ^H2205 of Israel ^H3478 came, ^H935 and the priests ^H3548 took up ^H5375 the ark. ^H727

⁴ And they brought up ^H5927 the ark ^H727 of the LORD, ^H3068 and the tabernacle ^H168 of the congregation, ^H4150 and all the holy ^H6944 vessels ^H3627 that were in the tabernacle, ^H168 even those did the priests ^H3548 and the Levites ^H3881 bring up. ^H5927

⁵ And king ^H4428 Solomon, ^H8010 and all the congregation ^H5712 of Israel, ^H3478 that were assembled ^H3259 unto him, were with him before ^H6440 the ark, ^H727 sacrificing ^H2076 sheep ^H6629 and oxen, ^H1241 that could not be told ^H5608 nor numbered ^H4487 for multitude. ^H7230

⁶ And the priests ^H3548 brought in ^H935 the ark ^H727 of the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD ^H3068 unto his place, ^H4725 into the oracle ^H1687 of the house, ^H1004 to the most ^H6944 holy ^H6944 place, even under the wings ^H3671 of the cherubims. ^H3742

⁷ For the cherubims ^H3742 spread forth ^H6566 their two wings ^H3671 over the place ^H4725 of the ark, ^H727 and the cherubims ^H3742 covered ^H5526 the ark ^H727 and the staves ^H905 thereof above. ^H4605

⁸ And they drew out ^H748 the staves, ^H905 that the ends ^H7218 of the staves ^H905 were seen out ^H7200 in the holy ^H6944 place before ^H6440 the oracle, ^H1687 and they were not seen ^H7200 without: ^H2351 and there they are unto this day. ^H3117

⁹ There was nothing in the ark ^H727 save ^H7535 the two ^H8147 tables ^H3871 of stone, ^H68 which Moses ^H4872 put ^H3240 there at Horeb, ^H2722 when the LORD ^H3068 made ^H3772 a covenant with the children ^H1121 of Israel, ^H3478 when they came out ^H3318 of the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

¹⁰ And it came to pass, when the priests ^H3548 were come out ^H3318 of the holy ^H6944 place, that the cloud ^H6051 filled ^H4390 the house ^H1004 of the LORD, ^H3068

¹¹ So that the priests ^H3548 could ^H3201 not stand ^H5975 to minister ^H8334 because ^H6440 of the cloud: ^H6051 for the glory ^H3519 of the LORD ^H3068 had filled ^H4390 the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068

¹² Then spake ^H559 Solomon, ^H8010 The LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 that he would dwell ^H7931 in the thick darkness. ^H6205

¹³ I have surely ^H1129 built ^H1129 thee an house ^H1004 to dwell in, ^H2073 a settled place ^H4349 for thee to abide in ^H3427 for ever. ^H5769

¹⁴ And the king ^H4428 turned ^H5437 his face ^H6440 about, ^H5437 and blessed ^H1288 all the congregation ^H6951 of Israel: ^H3478 (and all the congregation ^H6951 of Israel ^H3478 stood;) ^H5975

¹⁵ And he said, ^H559 Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 which spake ^H1696 with his mouth ^H6310 unto David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 and hath with his hand ^H3027 fulfilled ^H4390 it, saying, ^H559

¹⁶ Since the day ^H3117 that I brought forth ^H3318 my people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478 out of Egypt, ^H4714 I chose ^H977 no city ^H5892 out of all the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 to build ^H1129 an house, ^H1004 that my name ^H8034 might be therein; but I chose ^H977 David ^H1732 to be over my people ^H5971 Israel. ^H3478

¹⁷ And it was in the heart ^H3824 of David ^H1732 my father ^H1 to build ^H1129 an house ^H1004 for the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel. ^H3478

¹⁸ And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 Whereas ^{H3282 H834} it was in thine heart ^H3824 to build ^H1129 an house ^H1004 unto my name, ^H8034 thou didst well ^H2895 that it was in thine heart. ^H3824

¹⁹ Nevertheless ^H7535 thou shalt not build ^H1129 the house; ^H1004 but thy son ^H1121 that shall come forth out ^H3318 of thy loins, ^H2504 he shall build ^H1129 the house ^H1004 unto my name. ^H8034

²⁰ And the LORD ^H3068 hath performed ^H6965 his word ^H1697 that he spake, ^H1696 and I am risen up ^H6965 in the room of David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 and sit ^H3427 on the throne ^H3678 of Israel, ^H3478 as the LORD ^H3068 promised, ^H1696 and have built ^H1129 an house ^H1004 for the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel. ^H3478

²¹ And I have set ^H7760 there a place ^H4725 for the ark, ^H727 wherein is the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD, ^H3068 which he made ^H3772 with our fathers, ^H1 when he brought them out ^H3318 of the land ^H776 of Egypt. ^H4714

²² And Solomon ^H8010 stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 the altar ^H4196 of the LORD ^H3068 in the presence of ^H5048 all the congregation ^H6951 of Israel, ^H3478 and spread forth ^H6566 his hands ^H3709 toward heaven: ^H8064

²³ And he said, ^H559 LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 there is no God ^H430 like thee, in heaven ^H8064 above, ^H4605 or on earth ^H776 beneath, who keepest ^H8104 covenant ^H1285 and mercy ^H2617 with thy servants ^H5650 that walk ^H1980 before ^H6440 thee with all their heart: ^H3820

²⁴ Who hast kept ^H8104 with thy servant ^H5650 David ^H1732 my father ^H1 that thou promisedst ^H1696 him: thou spakest ^H1696 also with thy mouth, ^H6310 and hast fulfilled ^H4390 it with thine hand, ^H3027 as it is this day. ^H3117

²⁵ Therefore now, LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 keep ^H8104 with thy servant ^H5650 David ^H1732 my father ^H1 that thou promisedst ^H1696 him, saying, ^H559 There shall not fail ^H3772 thee a man ^H376 in my sight ^H6440 to sit ^H3427 on the throne ^H3678 of Israel; ^H3478 so ^H7535 that thy children ^H1121 take heed ^H8104 to their way, ^H1870 that they walk ^H3212 before ^H6440 me as thou hast walked ^H1980 before ^H6440 me.

²⁶ And now, O God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 let thy word, ^H1697 I pray thee, be verified, ^H539 which thou spakest ^H1696 unto thy servant ^H5650 David ^H1732 my father. ^H1

²⁷ But will God ^H430 indeed ^H552 dwell ^H3427 on the earth? ^H776 behold, the heaven ^H8064 and heaven ^H8064 of heavens ^H8064 cannot contain ^H3557 thee; how much less ^H637 this house ^H1004 that I have builded? ^H1129

²⁸ Yet have thou respect ^H6437 unto the prayer ^H8605 of thy servant, ^H5650 and to his supplication, ^H8467 O LORD ^H3068 my God, ^H430 to hearken ^H8085 unto the cry ^H7440 and to the prayer, ^H8605 which thy servant ^H5650 prayeth ^H6419 before ^H6440 thee to day: ^H3117

²⁹ That thine eyes ^H5869 may be open ^H6605 toward this house ^H1004 night ^H3915 and day, ^H3117 even toward the place ^H4725 of which thou hast said, ^H559 My name ^H8034 shall be there: that thou mayest hearken ^H8085 unto the prayer ^H8605 which thy servant ^H5650 shall make ^H6419 toward this place. ^H4725

³⁰ And hearken ^H8085 thou to the supplication ^H8467 of thy servant, ^H5650 and of thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 when they shall pray ^H6419 toward this place: ^H4725 and hear ^H8085 thou in heaven ^H8064 thy dwelling ^H3427 place: ^H4725 and when thou hearest, ^H8085 forgive. ^H5545

³¹ If any man ^H376 trespass ^H2398 against his neighbour, ^H7453 and an oath ^H423 be laid ^H5375 upon him to cause him to swear, ^H422 and the oath ^H423 come ^H935 before ^H6440 thine altar ^H4196 in this house: ^H1004

³² Then hear ^H8085 thou in heaven, ^H8064 and do, ^H6213 and judge ^H8199 thy servants, ^H5650 condemning ^H7561 the wicked, ^H7563 to bring ^H5414 his way ^H1870 upon his head; ^H7218 and justifying ^H6663 the righteous, ^H6662 to give ^H5414 him according to his righteousness. ^H6666

³³ When thy people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478 be smitten down ^H5062 before ^H6440 the enemy, ^H341 because they have sinned ^H2398 against thee, and shall turn again ^H7725 to thee, and confess ^H3034 thy name, ^H8034 and pray, ^H6419 and make supplication ^H2603 unto thee in this house: ^H1004

³⁴ Then hear ^H8085 thou in heaven, ^H8064 and forgive ^H5545 the sin ^H2403 of thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 and bring them again ^H7725 unto the land ^H127 which thou gavest ^H5414 unto their fathers. ^H1

³⁵ When heaven ^H8064 is shut up, ^H6113 and there is no rain, ^H4306 because they have sinned ^H2398 against thee; if they pray ^H6419 toward this place, ^H4725 and confess ^H3034 thy name, ^H8034 and turn ^H7725 from their sin, ^H2403 when thou afflictest ^H6031 them:

³⁶ Then hear ^H8085 thou in heaven, ^H8064 and forgive ^H5545 the sin ^H2403 of thy servants, ^H5650 and of thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 that thou teach ^H3384 them the good ^H2896 way ^H1870 wherein they should walk, ^H3212 and give ^H5414 rain ^H4306 upon thy land, ^H776 which thou hast given ^H5414 to thy people ^H5971 for an inheritance. ^H5159

³⁷ If there be in the land ^H776 famine, ^H7458 if there be pestilence, ^H1698 blasting, ^H7711 mildew, ^H3420 locust, ^H697 or if there be caterpiller; ^H2625 if their enemy ^H341 besiege ^H6887 them in the land ^H776 of their cities; ^H8179 whatsoever plague, ^H5061 whatsoever sickness ^H4245 there be;

³⁸ What prayer ^H8605 and supplication ^H8467 soever be made by any man, ^H120 or by all thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 which shall know ^H3045 every man ^H376 the plague ^H5061 of his own heart, ^H3824 and spread forth ^H6566 his hands ^H3709 toward this house: ^H1004

³⁹ Then hear ^H8085 thou in heaven ^H8064 thy dwelling ^H3427 place, ^H4349 and forgive, ^H5545 and do, ^H6213 and give ^H5414 to every man ^H376 according to his ways, ^H1870 whose heart ^H3824 thou knowest; ^H3045 (for thou, even thou only, knowest ^H3045 the hearts ^H3824 of all the children ^H1121 of men;) ^H120

⁴⁰ That they may fear ^H3372 thee all the days ^H3117 that they live ^H2416 in ^H6440 the land ^H127 which thou gavest ^H5414 unto our fathers. ^H1

⁴¹ Moreover concerning a stranger, ^H5237 that is not of thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 but cometh out ^H935 of a far ^H7350 country ^H776 for ^H4616 thy name's ^H8034 sake;

⁴² (For they shall hear ^H8085 of thy great ^H1419 name, ^H8034 and of thy strong ^H2389 hand, ^H3027 and of thy stretched out ^H5186 arm;) ^H2220 when he shall come ^H935 and pray ^H6419 toward this house; ^H1004

⁴³ Hear ^H8085 thou in heaven ^H8064 thy dwelling ^H3427 place, ^H4349 and do ^H6213 according to all that the stranger ^H5237 calleth ^H7121 to thee for: that all people ^H5971 of the earth ^H776 may know ^H3045 thy name, ^H8034 to fear ^H3372 thee, as do thy people ^H5971 Israel; ^H3478 and that they may know ^H3045 that this house, ^H1004 which I have builded, ^H1129 is called ^H7121 by thy name. ^H8034

⁴⁴ If thy people ^H5971 go out ^H3318 to battle ^H4421 against their enemy, ^H341 whithersoever ^H1870 thou shalt send ^H7971 them, and shall pray ^H6419 unto the LORD ^H3068 toward ^H1870 the city ^H5892 which thou hast chosen, ^H977 and toward the house ^H1004 that I have built ^H1129 for thy name: ^H8034

⁴⁵ Then hear ^H8085 thou in heaven ^H8064 their prayer ^H8605 and their supplication, ^H8467 and maintain ^H6213 their cause. ^H4941

⁴⁶ If they sin ^H2398 against thee, (for there is no man ^H120 that sinneth ^H2398 not,) and thou be angry ^H599 with them, and deliver ^H5414 them to the enemy, ^H341 so that they carry them away ^H7617 captives ^H7617 unto ^H6440 the land ^H776 of the enemy, ^H341 far ^H7350 or near; ^H7138

⁴⁷ Yet if they shall bethink ^H7725 themselves in the land ^H776 whither they were carried captives, ^H7617 and repent, ^{H7725 H3820} and make supplication ^H2603 unto thee in the land ^H776 of them that carried them captives, ^H7617 saying, ^H559 We have sinned, ^H2398 and have done perversely, ^H5753 we have committed wickedness; ^H7561

⁴⁸ And so return ^H7725 unto thee with all their heart, ^H3824 and with all their soul, ^H5315 in the land ^H776 of their enemies, ^H341 which led them away captive, ^H7617 and pray ^H6419 unto thee toward ^H1870 their land, ^H776 which thou gavest ^H5414 unto their fathers, ^H1 the city ^H5892 which thou hast chosen, ^H977 and the house ^H1004 which I have built ^H1129 for thy name: ^H8034

⁴⁹ Then hear ^H8085 thou their prayer ^H8605 and their supplication ^H8467 in heaven ^H8064 thy dwelling ^H3427 place, ^H4349 and maintain ^H6213 their cause, ^H4941

⁵⁰ And forgive ^H5545 thy people ^H5971 that have sinned ^H2398 against thee, and all their transgressions ^H6588 wherein they have transgressed ^H6586 against thee, and give ^H5414 them compassion ^H7356 before ^H6440 them who carried them captive, ^H7617 that they may have compassion ^H7355 on them:

⁵¹ For they be thy people, ^H5971 and thine inheritance, ^H5159 which thou broughtest forth ^H3318 out of Egypt, ^H4714 from the midst ^H8432 of the furnace ^H3564 of iron: ^H1270

⁵² That thine eyes ^H5869 may be open ^H6605 unto the supplication ^H8467 of thy servant, ^H5650 and unto the supplication ^H8467 of thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 to hearken ^H8085 unto them in all that they call ^H7121 for unto thee.

⁵³ For thou didst separate ^H914 them from among all the people ^H5971 of the earth, ^H776 to be thine inheritance, ^H5159 as thou spakest ^H1696 by the hand ^H3027 of Moses ^H4872 thy servant, ^H5650 when thou broughtest ^H3318 our fathers ^H1 out of Egypt, ^H4714 O Lord ^H136 GOD. ^H3069

⁵⁴ And it was so, that when Solomon ^H8010 had made an end ^H3615 of praying ^H6419 all this prayer ^H8605 and supplication ^H8467 unto the LORD, ^H3068 he arose ^H6965 from before ^H6440 the altar ^H4196 of the LORD, ^H3068 from kneeling ^H3766 on his knees ^H1290 with his hands ^H3709 spread up ^H6566 to heaven. ^H8064

⁵⁵ And he stood, ^H5975 and blessed ^H1288 all the congregation ^H6951 of Israel ^H3478 with a loud ^H1419 voice, ^H6963 saying, ^H559

⁵⁶ Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD, ^H3068 that hath given ^H5414 rest ^H4496 unto his people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 according to all that he promised: ^H1696 there hath not failed ^H5307 one ^H259 word ^H1697 of all his good ^H2896 promise, ^H1697 which he promised ^H1696 by the hand ^H3027 of Moses ^H4872 his servant. ^H5650

⁵⁷ The LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430 be with us, as he was with our fathers: ^H1 let him not leave ^H5800 us, nor forsake ^H5203 us:

⁵⁸ That he may incline ^H5186 our hearts ^H3824 unto him, to walk ^H3212 in all his ways, ^H1870 and to keep ^H8104 his commandments, ^H4687 and his statutes, ^H2706 and his judgments, ^H4941 which he commanded ^H6680 our fathers. ^H1

⁵⁹ And let these my words, ^H1697 wherewith I have made supplication ^H2603 before ^H6440 the LORD, ^H3068 be nigh ^H7138 unto the LORD ^H3068 our God ^H430 day ^H3119 and night, ^H3915 that he maintain ^H6213 the cause ^H4941 of his servant, ^H5650 and the cause ^H4941 of his people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478 at all times, ^{H3117 H3117} as the matter ^H1697 shall require:

⁶⁰ That all the people ^H5971 of the earth ^H776 may know ^H3045 that the LORD ^H3068 is God, ^H430 and that there is none else.

⁶¹ Let your heart ^H3824 therefore be perfect ^H8003 with the LORD ^H3068 our God, ^H430 to walk ^H3212 in his statutes, ^H2706 and to keep ^H8104 his commandments, ^H4687 as at this day. ^H3117

⁶² And the king, ^H4428 and all Israel ^H3478 with him, offered ^H2076 sacrifice ^H2077 before ^H6440 the LORD. ^H3068

⁶³ And Solomon ^H8010 offered ^H2076 a sacrifice ^H2077 of peace offerings, ^H8002 which he offered ^H2076 unto the LORD, ^H3068 two ^H8147 and twenty ^H6242 thousand ^H505 oxen, ^H1241 and an hundred ^H3967 and twenty ^H6242 thousand ^H505 sheep. ^H6629 So the king ^H4428 and all the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 dedicated ^H2596 the house ^H1004 of the LORD. ^H3068

⁶⁴ The same day ^H3117 did the king ^H4428 hallow ^H6942 the middle ^H8432 of the court ^H2691 that was before ^H6440 the house ^H1004 of the LORD: ^H3068 for there he offered ^H6213 burnt offerings, ^H5930 and meat offerings, ^H4503 and the fat ^H2459 of the peace offerings: ^H8002 because the brasen ^H5178 altar ^H4196 that was before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 was too little ^H6996 to receive ^H3557 the burnt offerings, ^H5930 and meat offerings, ^H4503 and the fat ^H2459 of the peace offerings. ^H8002

⁶⁵ And at that time ^H6256 Solomon ^H8010 held ^H6213 a feast, ^H2282 and all Israel ^H3478 with him, a great ^H1419 congregation, ^H6951 from the entering ^H935 in of Hamath ^H2574 unto the river ^H5158 of Egypt, ^H4714 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 our God, ^H430 seven ^H7651 days ^H3117 and seven ^H7651 days, ^H3117 even fourteen ^{H702 H6240} days. ^H3117

⁶⁶ On the eighth ^H8066 day ^H3117 he sent ^H7971 the people ^H5971 away: ^H7971 and they blessed ^H1288 the king, ^H4428 and went ^H3212 unto their tents ^H168 joyful ^H8056 and glad ^H2896 of heart ^H3820 for all the goodness ^H2896 that the LORD ^H3068 had done ^H6213 for David ^H1732 his servant, ^H5650 and for Israel ^H3478 his people. ^H5971
