1 ♥ 📝 N ow when Solomon^H8010 had made an end^H3615 of praying,^H6419 the fire^H784 came down^H3381 from heaven,^H8064 and consumed^H398 the burnt-offering^H5930 and the sacrifices;^H2077 and the glory^H3519 of Jehovah^H3068 filled^H4390 the house.^H1004

2 ♥ 📝 And the priests^H3548 could^H3201 not enter^H935 into the house^H1004 of Jehovah,^H3068 because the glory^H3519 of Jehovah^H3068 filled^H4390 Jehovah's^H3068 house.^H1004

3 ♥ 📝 And all the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 looked^H7200 on, when the fire^H784 came down,^H3381 and the glory^H3519 of Jehovah^H3068 was upon the house;^H1004 and they bowed^H3766 themselves with their faces^H639 to the ground^H776 upon the pavement,^H7531 and worshipped,^H7812 and gave thanks^H3034 unto Jehovah,^H3068 [saying], For he is good;^H2896 for his lovingkindness^H2617 [endureth] for ever.^H5769

4 ♥ 📝 Then the king^H4428 and all the people^H5971 offered^H2076 sacrifice^H2077 before^H6440 Jehovah.^H3068

5 ♥ 📝 And king^H4428 Solomon^H8010 offered^H2076 a sacrifice^H2077 of twenty^H6242 and two^H8147 thousand^H505 oxen,^H1241 and a hundred^H3967 and twenty^H6242 thousand^H505 sheep.^H6629 So the king^H4428 and all the people^H5971 dedicated^H2596 the house^H1004 of God.^H430

6 ♥ 📝 And the priests^H3548 stood,^H5975 according to their offices;^H4931 the Levites^H3881 also with instruments^H3627 of music^H7892 of Jehovah,^H3068 which David^H1732 the king^H4428 had made^H6213 to give thanks^H3034 unto Jehovah,^H3068 (for his lovingkindness^H2617 [endureth] for ever,)^H5769 when David^H1732 praised^H1984 by their ministry:^H3027 and the priests^H3548 sounded trumpets^H2690 before them; and all Israel^H3478 stood.^H5975

7 ♥ 📝 Moreover Solomon^H8010 hallowed^H6942 the middle^H8432 of the court^H2691 that was before^H6440 the house^H1004 of Jehovah;^H3068 for there he offered^H6213 the burnt-offerings,^H5930 and the fat^H2459 of the peace-offerings,^H5930 because the brazen^H5178 altar^H4196 which Solomon^H8010 had made^H6213 was not able^H3201 to receive^H3557 the burnt-offering,^H5930 and the meal-offering,^H4503 and the fat.^H2459

8 ♥ 📝 So Solomon^H8010 held^H6213 the feast^H2282 at that time^H6256 seven^H7651 days,^H3117 and all Israel^H3478 with him, a very^H3966 great^H1419 assembly,^H6951 from the entrance^H935 of Hamath^H2574 unto the brook^H5158 of Egypt.^H4714

9 ♥ 📝 And on the eighth^H8066 day^H3117 they held^H6213 a solemn assembly:^H6116 for they kept^H6213 the dedication^H2598 of the altar^H4196 seven^H7651 days,^H3117 and the feast^H2282 seven^H7651 days.^H3117

10 ♥ 📝 And on the three^H7969 and twentieth^H6242 day^H3117 of the seventh^H7637 month^H2320 he sent^H7971 the people^H5971 away^H7971 unto their tents,^H168 joyful^H2896 and glad^H8056 of heart^H3820 for the goodness^H2896 that Jehovah^H3068 had showed^H6213 unto David,^H1732 and to Solomon,^H8010 and to Israel^H3478 his people.^H5971

11 ♥ 📝 Thus Solomon^H8010 finished^H3615 the house^H1004 of Jehovah,^H3068 and the king's^H4428 house:^H1004 and all that came^H935 into Solomon's^H8010 heart^H3820 to make^H6213 in the house^H1004 of Jehovah,^H3068 and in his own house,^H1004 he prosperously effected.^H6743

12 ♥ 📝 And Jehovah^H3068 appeared^H7200 to Solomon^H8010 by night,^H3915 and said^H559 unto him, I have heard^H8085 thy prayer,^H8605 and have chosen^H977 this place^H4725 to myself for a house^H1004 of sacrifice.^H2077

13 ♥ 📝 If^H2005 I shut up^H6113 the heavens^H8064 so that there is no rain,^H4306 or if I command^H6680 the locust^H2284 to devour^H398 the land,^H776 or if I send^H7971 pestilence^H1698 among my people;^H5971

14 ♥ 📝 if my people,^H5971 who are called^H7121 by my name,^H8034 shall humble^H3665 themselves, and pray,^H6419 and seek^H1245 my face,^H6440 and turn^H7725 from their wicked^H7451 ways;^H1870 then will I hear^H8085 from heaven,^H8064 and will forgive^H5545 their sin,^H2403 and will heal^H7495 their land.^H776

15 ♥ 📝 Now mine eyes^H5869 shall be open,^H6605 and mine ears^H241 attent,^H7183 unto the prayer^H8605 that is made in this place.^H4725

16 ♥ 📝 For now have I chosen^H977 and hallowed^H6942 this house,^H1004 that my name^H8034 may be there for^H5704 ever;^H5769 and mine eyes^H5869 and my heart^H3820 shall be there perpetually.^H3117

17 ♥ 📝 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk^H3212 before^H6440 me as David^H1732 thy father^H1 walked,^H1980 and do^H6213 according to all that I have commanded^H6680 thee, and wilt keep^H8104 my statutes^H2706 and mine ordinances;^H4941

18 ♥ 📝 then I will establish^H6965 the throne^H3678 of thy kingdom,^H4438 according as I covenanted^H3772 with David^H1732 thy father,^H1 saying,^H559 There shall not fail^H3772 thee a man^H376 to be ruler^H4910 in Israel.^H3478

19 ♥ 📝 But if ye turn away,^H7725 and forsake^H5800 my statutes^H2708 and my commandments^H4687 which I have set^H5414 before^H6440 you, and shall go^H1980 and serve^H5647 other^H312 gods,^H430 and worship^H7812 them;

20 ♥ 📝 then will I pluck them up by the roots^H5428 out of my land^H127 which I have given^H5414 them; and this house,^H1004 which I have hallowed^H6942 for my name,^H8034 will I cast out^H7993 of my sight,^H6440 and I will make^H5414 it a proverb^H4912 and a byword^H8148 among all peoples.^H5971

21 ♥ 📝 And this house,^H1004 which is so high,^H5945 every one that passeth^H5674 by it shall be astonished,^H8074 and shall say,^H559 Why hath Jehovah^H3068 done^H6213 thus unto this land,^H776 and to this house?^H1004

22 ♥ 📝 And they shall answer,^H559 Because they forsook^H5800 Jehovah,^H3068 the God^H430 of their fathers,^H1 who brought them forth^H3318 out of the land^H776 of Egypt,^H4714 and laid hold^H2388 on other^H312 gods,^H430 and worshipped^H7812 them, and served^H5647 them: therefore hath he brought^H935 all this evil^H7451 upon them.
