1 Kings 8:22-53 STRONG

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