And he saith
, `
Blessed `is'
Jehovah,
God of Israel, who
spake by
His mouth with
David my father, and by
His hand hath
fulfilled `
it '
, saying,
And he said
, Blessed be
the
LORD
God of Israel, which
spake with
his mouth unto
David my father, and hath
with
his hand fulfilled it, saying,
From
the day that I brought out
My people ,
even
Israel ,
from
Egypt, I have
not
fixed
on
a
city out of all the tribes of Israel ,
to build a
house for
My name being
there
; and
I fix
on
David to be over My people Israel.
Since
the day that I brought forth
my people Israel out
of
Egypt, I chose
no
city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an
house ,
that
my name might
be
therein
; but
I chose
David to be over my people Israel.
`
And it is
with
the heart of David my father to build a
house for the name of Jehovah,
God of Israel ,
And it was
in
the heart of David my father to build an
house for the name of the
LORD
God of Israel .
and Jehovah
saith
unto David my father, Because
that
it hath
been
with
thy
heart to build a
house for
My name, thou hast
done
well that it hath
been
with
thy
heart ;
And the
LORD
said
unto David my father, Whereas
it was
in
thine
heart to build an
house unto
my name, thou didst
well that it was
in
thine
heart .
only,
thou dost
not build the house ,
but thy son who
is
coming
out from
thy loins, he doth
build the house for
My name.
Nevertheless
thou shalt
not build the house ;
but thy son that
shall
come
forth
out of
thy loins, he shall
build the house unto
my name.
`
And Jehovah
doth
establish
His word which
He spake, and I am risen up instead
of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah
spake
, and build
the
house for the name of Jehovah,
God of Israel ,
And the
LORD
hath
performed
his word that
he spake, and I am risen up in
the
room
of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the
LORD
promised
, and have
built
an
house for the name of the
LORD
God of Israel .
and set there a place for the ark, where
`
is '
the covenant of Jehovah
which He made with our fathers in
His
bringing
them out from
the land of Egypt. '
And I
have
set there a place for the ark, wherein
is the covenant of the
LORD,
which he made with our fathers ,
when
he
brought
them out of
the land of Egypt.
And Solomon standeth
before the altar of Jehovah,
over-against
all the assembly
of Israel, and spreadeth
his hands towards
the
heavens,
And Solomon stood
before the altar of the
LORD
in
the
presence
of
all the congregation
of Israel, and spread
forth
his hands toward
heaven:
and saith,
`Jehovah
, God of Israel, there is not
a
God like Thee, in the
heavens
above, and
on the
earth beneath, keeping
the
covenant and the
kindness
for
Thy servants ,
those
walking
before Thee with all their heart ,
And he
said
, LORD
God of Israel, there is no
God like thee, in heaven
above, or
on earth beneath, who
keepest
covenant and mercy
with
thy servants that
walk
before thee with all their heart :
who hast kept for
Thy servant David my father that which
Thou spakest
to
him ;
yea,
Thou speakest
with Thy mouth, and with
Thy
hand
hast fulfilled `
it '
, as `at'
this day.
Who hast kept with
thy servant David my father that thou promisedst
him :
thou spakest
also
with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with
thine
hand
, as it
is
this day.
`And
now, Jehovah,
God of Israel, keep for
Thy servant David my father that which
Thou spakest
to
him, saying, There is
not cut
off
to
thee a man from
before
Me,
sitting
on the throne of Israel --
only,
if
thy sons
watch
their way, to
walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.
Therefore
now, LORD
God of Israel, keep with
thy servant David my father that thou promisedst
him, saying, There shall
not fail
thee a man in
my
sight
to
sit
on the throne of Israel ;
so
that
thy children
take
heed
to
their way, that
they
walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
`
And now, O God of Israel, let it
be
established
, I pray Thee, Thy
word
which Thou hast
spoken
to
Thy servant ,
David my father.
And now, O God of Israel, let thy
word
, I pray thee, be
verified,
which thou spakest
unto
thy servant David my father.
But ,
is
it
true?
--
God dwelleth
on the earth !
lo
, the heavens,
and the
heavens
of the
heavens do
not
contain Thee ,
how much less this house which
I have builded !
But will
God indeed
dwell
on the earth ?
behold
, the heaven
and heaven
of heavens cannot
contain thee ;
how much less this house that
I have builded ?
`Then
thou hast
turned
unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto
his supplication, O Jehovah
my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto
the prayer which Thy servant is
praying
before Thee to -
day ,
Yet
have
thou respect
unto the prayer of thy servant, and to
his supplication, O LORD
my God, to hearken unto the cry and to
the prayer ,
which thy servant prayeth
before thee to day :
for
Thine eyes being
open towards
this house night and day, towards
the place of which Thou hast said, My Name is
there ;
to
hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth
towards
this place.
That
thine eyes may
be
open toward
this house night and day, even
toward
the place of which thou hast said, My name shall
be
there :
that
thou
mayest
hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall
make
toward
this place.
`Then
Thou hast
hearkened
unto
the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which
they pray towards
this place ;
yea,
Thou dost
hearken
in the
place
of
Thy dwelling ,
in
the
heavens
--
and Thou hast
hearkened,
and
hast
forgiven
,
And
hearken
thou to
the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when
they shall
pray toward
this place :
and
hear
thou in heaven
thy dwelling place:
and when
thou hearest
, forgive.
that
which
a
man sinneth
against his neighbour
, and he
hath
lifted
up
upon
him
an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath
come in
before Thine altar in this house ,
If
any
man trespass
against his neighbor
, and an oath be
laid
upon
him
to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house :
then Thou
dost
hear in the
heavens
, and hast
done
, and hast
judged
Thy servants, to
declare
wicked
the wicked, to put
his way on
his head ,
and to
declare
righteous
the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
Then hear thou
in heaven
, and do
, and judge
thy servants, condemning
the wicked, to bring
his way upon
his head ;
and justifying
the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
`In
Thy people Israel being
smitten before an
enemy, because they sin
against Thee, and they
have
turned
back
unto
Thee, and have
confessed
Thy name, and prayed
, and made
supplication unto Thee in this house ,
When
thy people Israel be
smitten down
before the
enemy, because they have
sinned
against thee, and shall
turn
again
to
thee, and confess
thy name, and pray
, and make
supplication unto thee in this house :
then thou
dost
hear in the
heavens
, and hast
forgiven
the sin of Thy people Israel, and brought
them back
unto the ground
that
Thou gavest to
their fathers.
Then hear thou
in heaven
, and forgive
the sin of thy people Israel, and bring
them again
unto the land
which
thou gavest unto
their fathers.
`In
the
heavens
being
restrained
, and there is no rain, because they sin
against Thee ,
and
they have
prayed
towards
this place, and confessed
Thy name, and from their sin turn
back
, for
Thou dost
afflict
them ,
When
heaven
is
shut
up
, and there is no rain, because they have
sinned
against thee ;
if
they pray
toward
this place, and confess
thy name, and turn
from their sin, when
thou afflictest
them :
then Thou
dost
hear in the
heavens
, and hast
forgiven
the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for
Thou directest
them the good way in
which
they go
, and hast
given
rain on
Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for inheritance.
Then hear thou
in heaven
, and forgive
the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that
thou teach
them the good way wherein
they should
walk
, and give
rain upon
thy land ,
which thou hast given to thy people for an
inheritance.
`Famine
--
when
it
is
in the land ;
pestilence --
when
it
is;
blasting, mildew, locust ;
caterpillar --
when
it
is
; when
its
enemy hath
distressed
it
in the land `in'
its
gates,
any
plague, any
sickness ,
--
If
there
be
in the land famine,
if
there
be
pestilence ,
blasting, mildew, locust ,
or
if
there
be
caterpillar; if
their
enemy besiege
them
in the land of
their
cities;
whatsoever
plague, whatsoever
sickness there
be;
any
prayer ,
any
supplication that
`is'
of
any man of
all Thy people Israel, who
know each
the plague of his own heart, and hath
spread his hands towards
this house ,
What
prayer and
supplication soever
be
made
by
any man ,
or
by
all thy people Israel, which
shall
know every
man
the plague of his own heart, and spread forth
his hands toward
this house :
then Thou
dost
hear in the
heavens,
the
settled
place
of
Thy dwelling, and hast
forgiven
, and hast
done
, and hast
given
to each
according to all
his ways, whose heart Thou knowest ,
(for Thou hast
known
--
Thyself
alone
--
the heart
of all the sons
of man
) ,
Then hear thou
in heaven
thy dwelling place
, and forgive
, and do
, and give
to every
man
according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest ;
(for thou ,
even
thou
only,
knowest
the hearts
of all the children
of men;
)
so
that they fear Thee all the days that they are
living
on
the
face
of
the ground
that
Thou hast
given
to
our fathers.
That they may
fear thee all the days that they live
in
the land
which
thou gavest
unto
our fathers.
`And
also,
unto
the
stranger who
is not of Thy people Israel, and
hath
come
from
a land
afar
off
for Thy name's sake --
Moreover
concerning
a
stranger ,
that
is not of thy people Israel, but
cometh
out
of
a far
country
for thy name's sake ;
(for they hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched -
out arm) --
and
he hath
come in
and prayed
towards
this house ,
(For they shall
hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm ;
) when
he shall
come and pray
toward
this house ;
Thou
dost
hear in the
heavens,
the
settled
place
of
Thy dwelling, and hast
done
according to all that the stranger calleth unto
Thee for ,
in
order
that all the
peoples
of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like
Thy people Israel ,
and to
know that Thy
name
hath
been
called
on
this house which I have builded.
Hear thou
in heaven
thy dwelling place
, and do
according to all that the stranger calleth to
thee for :
that all people
of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee ,
as
do
thy people Israel ;
and that
they
may
know that this house ,
which I have builded ,
is
called
by
thy
name
.
`When
Thy people doth
go out to battle against its
enemy, in
the
way
that
Thou dost
send them, and they
have
prayed
unto Jehovah
the way
of
the city which thou hast fixed
on
, and of
the house which
I have builded
for Thy name ;
If
thy people go out to battle against their
enemy, whithersoever
thou shalt
send them, and shall
pray
unto the LORD
toward
the city which thou hast chosen
, and toward
the house that
I have built
for thy name :
then Thou hast
heard
in the
heavens
their prayer and their supplication, and hast
maintained
their cause.
Then hear
thou in heaven
their prayer and their supplication, and maintain
their cause.
`When
they sin against Thee (for there is not
a
man who
sinneth not )
, and Thou hast
been
angry with them, and hast
given
them up
before
an
enemy, and
they have
taken
captive
their
captivity
unto the land of the enemy far off
or near;
If
they sin against thee ,
(for there is no
man that
sinneth not, )
and thou be
angry with them, and deliver
them to
the
enemy, so
that
they carry
them
away
captives
unto the land of the enemy ,
far or near;
and
they have
turned
`it'
back
unto
their
heart
in the land whither they have
been
taken
captive
, and have
turned
back
, and made
supplication unto Thee ,
in the land of their
captors
, saying, We have sinned and done perversely --
we have done
wickedly
;
Yet
if
they shall
bethink
themselves
in the land whither they were
carried
captives
, and repent
, and make
supplication unto thee in the land of them
that
carried
them
captives
, saying, We have sinned ,
and have
done perversely ,
we have committed
wickedness
;
yea,
they
have
turned
back
unto Thee ,
with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who
have
taken
them captive, and have
prayed
unto Thee the
way
of
their land, which Thou gavest to
their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have builded
for Thy name:
And
so
return
unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies ,
which
led
them away
captive, and pray
unto thee toward
their land, which thou gavest unto
their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built
for thy name:
`
Then Thou hast
heard
in
the
heavens,
the
settled
place
of
Thy
dwelling,
their prayer and their supplication, and hast
maintained
their cause,
Then hear
thou their prayer and their supplication in
heaven
thy
dwelling
place
, and maintain
their cause,
and hast
forgiven
Thy people who
have sinned against Thee, even
all their transgressions which
they have transgressed against Thee, and hast
given
them mercies
before their
captors
, and
they have had
mercy
`
on '
them --
And forgive
thy people that
have sinned against thee, and
all their transgressions wherein
they have transgressed against thee, and give
them compassion
before them
who
carried
them
captive
, that
they may
have compassion
on them :
(
for Thy people and Thy
inheritance `are'
they
, whom
Thou didst
bring
out of Egypt, out
of
the midst of the furnace of iron )
--
For they
be
thy people ,
and thine
inheritance, which
thou broughtest
forth
out of Egypt, from
the midst of the furnace of iron :
for
Thine eyes being
open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee for;
That
thine eyes may
be
open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that
they call for
unto thee .
for Thou hast
separated
them to
Thyself
for
an
inheritance,
out
of
all the peoples
of the earth, as Thou didst
speak
by the hand of Moses Thy servant, in
Thy
bringing
out
our fathers from
Egypt, O Lord Jehovah
. '
For thou didst
separate
them from
among
all the people
of the earth, to
be
thine
inheritance,
as thou spakest
by the hand of Moses thy servant, when
thou
broughtest
our fathers out
of
Egypt, O LORD God
.
And it cometh
to
pass
, at
Solomon's
finishing
to
pray
unto
Jehovah
all this prayer and supplication, he hath
risen
from before the altar of Jehovah
, from bending
on his knees ,
and
his hands spread out
to the
heavens,
And it was
so
, that
when
Solomon
had
made
an
end
of
praying
all this prayer and supplication unto
the
LORD
, he arose
from before the altar of the
LORD
, from kneeling
on his knees with
his hands spread up
to heaven.
and he standeth
and blesseth
all the assembly
of Israel `
with '
a loud voice, saying,
And he stood,
and blessed
all the congregation
of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
`
Blessed `is'
Jehovah
who
hath given rest to
His people Israel, according to all that He hath
spoken;
there hath not fallen
one word of all His good word
, which He spake
by the hand of Moses his servant.
Blessed be
the
LORD,
that
hath given rest unto
his people Israel, according to all that he promised:
there hath not failed
one word of all his good promise
, which he promised
by the hand of Moses his servant.
`Jehovah
our God is
with us as He hath
been
with our fathers ;
He
doth
not forsake
us nor leave
us ;
The
LORD
our God be
with us ,
as he was
with our fathers :
let
him
not leave
us ,
nor forsake
us :
to
incline our heart
unto Himself
, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands
, and His statutes, and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers ;
That
he
may
incline our hearts
unto him
, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments
, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers .
and these my words with
which
I have made supplication before Jehovah
, are
near
unto Jehovah
our God by
day and by
night, to
maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of
a
day
in
its
day;
And let
these my words ,
wherewith
I have made supplication before the
LORD
, be
nigh
unto the
LORD
our God day and night, that
he
maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at
all
times
, as
the matter shall
require:
for
all the peoples
of the earth knowing
that Jehovah,
He
`
is '
God ;
there is none else ;
That
all the people
of the earth may
know
that the
LORD
is God ,
and
that
there is none else .
and
your heart hath
been
perfect with Jehovah
our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands
, as `
at '
this day. '
Let
your heart therefore
be
perfect with the
LORD
our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments
, as at this day.
And the king and all Israel with him are
sacrificing
a
sacrifice before Jehovah;
And the king ,
and all Israel with him ,
offered
sacrifice before the
LORD.
and Solomon sacrificeth
the
sacrifice of peace -
offerings, which he hath
sacrificed
to
Jehovah,
oxen
, twenty
and
two thousand, and sheep,
a
hundred and twenty thousand ;
and
the king and all the sons
of Israel dedicate
the house of Jehovah
.
And Solomon offered
a
sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered
unto
the
LORD
, two and
twenty
thousand oxen
, and an
hundred and twenty thousand sheep.
So
the king and all the children
of Israel dedicated
the house of the
LORD
.
On
that
day hath
the king sanctified
the middle of the court that `is'
before the house of Jehovah,
for he
hath
made
there the
burnt -offering
, and the
present
, and the fat of the peace -
offerings ;
for
the altar of
brass
that `is'
before Jehovah
`is'
too little to contain
the burnt -offering
, and the
present
, and the fat of the peace -
offerings.
The
same
day did
the king hallow
the middle of the court that was
before the house of the
