Then spake
Solomon ,
Jehovah
hath
said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Then Solomon declared:
“The
LORD
has
said that He would dwell in the thick cloud;
But
I have built thee
a
house of
habitation
, and
a place for thee
to dwell in
for
ever
.
and
I have built You
an
exalted
house, a place for You
to dwell forever
. ”
And the
king
turned
his
face,
and
blessed
all
the assembly of Israel :
and all the
assembly
of
Israel
stood.
And as
the whole
assembly of Israel stood
there,
the
king
turned
around
and blessed
them
all
And he
said ,
Blessed be Jehovah
, the God of Israel, who spake
with his mouth unto
David
my father ,
and
hath
with
his
hands
fulfilled
it
, saying,
and said :
“
Blessed be the
LORD
, the God of Israel, who has
fulfilled
with His own
hand
what
He
spoke
with
His
mouth to
my father David
, saying,
Since the day that
I brought forth
my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose
no
city out
of
all
the
tribes
of Israel to build a house in,
that my name might
be there ;
neither
chose
I any
man
to be prince
over my people Israel :
‘
Since the day I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have
not
chosen
a
city from
any
tribe
of Israel in
which
to build a house so
that My Name would
be there ,
nor
have
I chosen
anyone
to be ruler
over My people Israel .
but I have chosen Jerusalem ,
that
my name might
be there ;
and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
But now
I have chosen Jerusalem for
My Name to
be there ,
and I
have chosen David to be over My people Israel. ’
Now it was in the heart of David
my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah
, the God of Israel.
Now it was in the heart of my father David
to build a house for the Name of the
LORD
, the God of Israel.
But Jehovah
said unto
David
my father, Whereas
it was in thy
heart to build a house for my name, thou
didst
well that
it
was
in thy
heart :
But the
LORD
said to
my father David
, ‘Since
it was in your
heart to build a house for My Name, you
have
done
well to
have
this
in your
heart .
nevertheless thou
shalt
not build
the house
; but thy
son that
shall
come
forth
out
of
thy
loins
, he
shall
build the house for my name.
Nevertheless ,
you
are
not the one
to
build
it
; but your
son, your
own
offspring,
will
build the house for My Name. ’
And
Jehovah
hath
performed
his
word that he spake;
for
I am
risen
up
in
the
room
of
David
my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah
promised ,
and
have built the house for the name of Jehovah
, the God of Israel.
Now
the
LORD
has
fulfilled
the
word that He spoke.
I have
succeeded
my father David
, and I
sit on the throne of Israel, as the
LORD
promised .
I
have built the house for the Name of the
LORD
, the God of Israel.
And there have
I set
the ark, wherein
is
the covenant of Jehovah,
which
he made with the children of Israel.
And there I have
provided
a
place
for
the ark, which
contains
the covenant of the
LORD
that
He made with the children of Israel. ”
And
he
stood before the altar of Jehovah
in
the presence
of all
the assembly of Israel ,
and spread forth
his hands ;
Then
Solomon
stood before the altar of the LORD
in
front
of the whole
assembly of Israel and spread out
his hands .
(for
Solomon had made a brazen
scaffold,
five cubits long, and
five cubits broad
, and three cubits high, and had set
it in the midst
of the court;
and
upon
it
he stood, and
kneeled
down upon
his
knees
before all
the assembly of Israel, and
spread forth
his hands toward heaven ;)
Now
Solomon had made a bronze
platform
five cubits long, five cubits wide
, and three cubits high, and had placed
it in the middle
of the courtyard.
He stood on
it
, knelt
down before the whole
assembly of Israel, spread out
his hands toward heaven ,
and he
said ,
O Jehovah
, the
God of Israel, there is no God like thee,
in heaven ,
or on earth ;
who
keepest
covenant and
lovingkindness
with thy
servants ,
that
walk before thee
with all their heart;
and said :
“
O LORD
, God of Israel, there is no God like You
in heaven or on earth ,
keeping
Your
covenant of
loving
devotion
with Your
servants who
walk before You
with all their hearts.
who
hast
kept with
thy
servant David
my father that
which
thou
didst
promise
him:
yea,
thou
spakest
with thy
mouth ,
and
hast
fulfilled it
with thy
hand ,
as
it
is
this day.
You
have
kept Your
promise
to
Your
servant ,
my father David.
What
You
spoke
with Your
mouth You
have
fulfilled with Your
hand this day.
Now
therefore, O Jehovah
, the
God of Israel, keep with
thy
servant David
my father that
which
thou
hast
promised
him,
saying
, There
shall
not
fail thee
a man in
my
sight
to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy
children
take
heed
to
their way ,
to walk in my law as thou
hast
walked before me.
Therefore now
, O LORD
, God of Israel, keep for
Your
servant ,
my father David
, what
You
promised
when
You
said:
‘You
will
never
fail to
have
a man to sit before
Me
on the throne of Israel, if only your
descendants
guard
their way to walk in My law as you
have
walked before Me. ’
Now therefore
, O Jehovah
, the
God of Israel, let
thy
word
be
verified,
which
thou
spakest
unto
thy
servant David.
And
now, O LORD
, God of Israel, please
confirm
what
You
promised
to
Your
servant David.
But will God in
very
deed
dwell with men
on
the earth? behold,
heaven and
the heaven of
heavens
cannot contain thee;
how
much less this house
which
I have builded!
But will God indeed
dwell with man
upon
the earth? Even
heaven ,
the highest
heaven ,
cannot contain You,
much less this temple
I have built.
Yet have
thou
respect
unto
the prayer of thy
servant, and
to
his
supplication,
O Jehovah
my God, to
hearken
unto
the cry and to
the prayer which
thy
servant prayeth
before thee;
Yet regard
the prayer and
plea
of Your
servant, O LORD
my God, so
that
You
may
hear
the cry and the prayer that
Your
servant is
praying
before You.
that
thine
eyes
may be open toward this house
day and night, even
toward the place whereof
thou
hast
said that
thou
wouldest
put thy
name there;
to
hearken
unto
the prayer which
thy
servant shall
pray
toward this place.
May Your
eyes
be open toward this temple
day and night, toward the place where
You
said You
would
put Your
Name ,
so
that
You
may
hear
the prayer that
Your
servant prays
toward this place.
And
hearken
thou
to
the supplications
of thy
servant ,
and of thy
people Israel ,
when they shall
pray toward this place :
yea,
hear thou
from thy
dwelling -
place ,
even
from
heaven;
and when
thou
hearest
forgive.
Hear
the plea
of Your
servant and of Your
people Israel when they pray toward this place .
May
You
hear from heaven,
Your
dwelling place .
May
You
hear
and forgive.
If
a man sin
against his neighbor ,
and an oath be
laid
upon
him
to
cause
him
to
swear
, and he come
`and'
swear
before thine
altar in this house;
When
a man sins
against his neighbor and is
required
to
take
an oath, and he comes
to
take
an
oath
before Your
altar in this temple,
then hear thou
from heaven ,
and do,
and
judge thy
servants, requiting
the wicked ,
to
bring
his
way
upon
his own head ;
and justifying the righteous ,
to
give
him according to his righteousness.
then may
You
hear from heaven and act.
May
You
judge Your
servants, condemning
the wicked man
by
bringing
down
on
his own head what
he
has
done,
and justifying the righteous man
by
rewarding
him according to his righteousness.
And
if
thy
people Israel be
smitten
down
before the
enemy ,
because they have sinned against thee
, and shall
turn
again
and confess thy
name, and
pray
and make
supplication
before thee
in this house;
When
Your
people Israel are
defeated
before an
enemy because they have sinned against You
, and they
return
to
You
and confess Your
name, praying
and pleading
before You
in this temple,
then hear thou
from heaven ,
and forgive the sin of thy
people Israel ,
and
bring
them again
unto
the land which
thou
gavest
to them and to
their fathers.
then may
You
hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your
people Israel .
May
You
restore
them to
the land You
gave
to them and their fathers.
When the heavens
are 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
dost
afflict
them :
When the skies
are shut and there is no rain because Your
people
have sinned against You,
and
they pray toward this place and confess Your
name, and they
turn from their sins
because
You
have
afflicted
them ,
then hear thou
in
heaven ,
and forgive the sin of thy
servants, and
of
thy
people Israel, when
thou
teachest
them the good way wherein
they should walk ;
and
send rain upon
thy
land ,
which
thou
hast
given
to
thy
people for
an inheritance.
then may
You
hear from
heaven and forgive the sin of Your
servants, Your
people Israel, so
that
You
may
teach
them the good way in
which
they should walk .
May
You
send rain on
the
land that
You
gave
Your
people as
an inheritance.
If
there
be
in
the land famine
, if
there
be
pestilence,
if
there
be
blasting
or mildew, locust
or caterpillar;
if
their enemies besiege them in the
land
of
their cities ;
whatsoever
plague or whatsoever
sickness there
be;
When
famine
or
plague
comes
upon
the land, or blight
or
mildew or
locusts
or
grasshoppers
, or when
their enemies besiege them in their cities ,
whatever
plague or sickness may
come,
what
prayer and
supplication
soever
be
made
by
any
man,
or by
all
thy
people Israel ,
who
shall
know
every
man
his
own
plague
and
his own sorrow,
and shall
spread
forth
his hands toward this house:
then
may
whatever
prayer or petition
Your
people Israel make—each
knowing
his own afflictions
and spreading
out
his hands toward this temple—
then
hear
thou
from heaven thy
dwelling -
place and forgive ,
and render
unto
every
man according to all his ways, whose
heart thou
knowest;
(
for thou,
even
thou
only,
knowest
the hearts of the
children
of
men ;)
be
heard
by
You
from heaven ,
Your
dwelling place .
And may
You
forgive and repay
each
man according to all his ways, since
You
know
his
heart —
for You
alone
know
the hearts of men —
that they may fear thee,
to
walk in thy
ways ,
so
long
as
they live in the land which
thou
gavest
unto
our fathers.
so
that they may fear You
and
walk in Your
ways all
the
days
they live in the land that
You
gave
to
our fathers.
Moreover
concerning
the foreigner ,
that
is not of thy
people Israel ,
when
he
shall
come from a far
country
for
thy
great name's
sake,
and thy
mighty hand ,
and thine
outstretched arm ;
when they
shall
come
and pray
toward this house:
And
as
for
the foreigner who
is not of Your
people Israel but
has
come from a distant
land
because
of
Your
great name
and Your
mighty hand and outstretched arm —
when he
comes
and prays
toward this temple,
then hear thou
from heaven, even
from
thy
dwelling -
place, and do according to all that
the foreigner calleth
to thee
for;
that
all the peoples of the earth may
know thy
name ,
and fear thee
, as doth
thy
people Israel, and that
they may
know that this house which
I have built is called by thy
name.
then may
You
hear from heaven, Your
dwelling place, and do according to all for
which
the foreigner calls
to You.
Then
all the peoples of the earth will
know Your
name and fear You
, as do
Your
people Israel, and they will
know that this house I have built is called by Your
Name.
If
thy
people go out
to battle
against their enemies, by
whatsoever
way
thou
shalt
send them, and they pray unto
thee
toward
this
city which
thou
hast
chosen ,
and the house which
I have built for thy
name ;
When
Your
people go to war
against their enemies, wherever
You
send them, and when
they pray to
You
in
the
direction
of
the
city You
have
chosen and the house I have built for Your
Name ,
then hear thou
from heaven their prayer and their supplication
, and maintain
their cause.
then may
You
hear from heaven their prayer and their plea
, and may
You
uphold
their cause.
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
captive
unto
a land far off
or near ;
When
they sin against You—
for there is no one
who
does
not sin—
and You
become
angry with them and deliver them to an
enemy who
takes
them as
captives
to
a land far or near ,
yet
if
they shall
bethink
themselves
in the land whither
they are
carried
captive
, and turn
again,
and make
supplication
unto
thee
in the land of their captivity
, saying, We have sinned ,
we
have
done
perversely,
and have dealt
wickedly ;
and
when
they come
to
their
senses
in the land to
which
they were
taken
, and they
repent
and plead
with
You
in the land of their captors
, saying, ‘
We have sinned and done
wrong;
we
have acted
wickedly ,’
if
they return unto
thee
with all their heart and with
all
their
soul in the land of their
captivity,
whither
they
have
carried
them captive, and pray toward
their
land ,
which
thou
gavest
unto
their fathers, and
the city which
thou
hast
chosen, and toward
the house which
I have built for thy
name :
and
when
they return to
You
with all their heart and soul in the land of the
enemies
who
took
them captive, and when
they
pray in
the
direction
of
the
land that
You
gave
to
their fathers, the city You
have
chosen, and the house I have built for Your
Name ,
then hear thou
from heaven, even
from
thy
dwelling -
place, their prayer and their
supplications
, and maintain
their cause ,
and
forgive thy
people who have
sinned against thee
.
then may
You
hear from heaven, Your
dwelling place, their prayer and petition
, and may
You
uphold
their cause .
May
You
forgive Your
people who sinned against You
.
Now, O
my God, let,
I
beseech
thee,
thine
eyes be open ,
and let
thine
ears be
attent,
unto
the prayer that
is
made
in this place.
Now, my God, may
Your
eyes be open and Your
ears attentive
to
the prayer offered
in this place.
Now therefore arise, O Jehovah
God, into
thy
resting -
place, thou,
and the ark of thy
strength:
let
thy
priests, O Jehovah
God, be clothed with salvation, and let
thy
saints
rejoice in goodness.
Now therefore ,
arise, O LORD
God, and
enter
Your
resting place, You
and the ark of Your
might.
May
Your
priests, O LORD
God, be clothed with salvation, and may
Your
godly
ones
rejoice in goodness.
O Jehovah
God, turn
not away
the
face
of
thine
anointed :
remember `thy'
lovingkindnesses
to David
thy
servant.
O LORD
God, do
not reject
Your
anointed one.
Remember Your
loving
devotion
to Your
servant David
. ”
