Chapter 1
1 Solomon Worships at Gibeon
Now Solomon 8010 the son 1121 of David 1732 established 2388 himself securely 2388 over 5921 his kingdom 4438, and the LORD 3068 his God 430 {was} with him and exalted 1431 him greatly 4605.
2 ¶ Solomon 8010 spoke 559 to all 3605 Israel 3478, to the commanders 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds 3967 and to the judges 8199 and to every 3605 leader 5387 in all 3605 Israel 3478, the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households.}
3 Then Solomon 8010 and all 3605 the assembly 6951 with him went 1980 to the high 1116 place 1116 which 834 was at Gibeon 1391, for God's 430 tent 168 of meeting 4150 was there 8033, which 834 Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 had made 6213 in the wilderness 4057.
4 However 61, David 1732 had brought 5927 up the ark 727 of God 430 from Kiriath-jearim 7157 to the place he had prepared 3559 for it, for he had pitched 5186 a tent 168 for it in Jerusalem 3389.
5 Now the bronze 5178 altar 4196, which 834 Bezalel 1212 the son 1121 of Uri 221, the son 1121 of Hur 2354, had made 6213, was there 8033 before 6440 the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068, and Solomon 8010 and the assembly 6951 sought 1875 it out.
6 Solomon 8010 went 5927 up there 8033 before 6440 the LORD 3068 to the bronze 5178 altar 4196 which 834 {was} at the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and offered 5927 a thousand 505 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 on it.
7 ¶ In that night 3915 God 430 appeared 7200 to Solomon 8010 and said 559 to him, "Ask 7592 what 4100 I shall give 5414 you."
8 Solomon's Prayer for Wisdom
Solomon 8010 said 559 to God 430, "You have dealt 6213 with my father 1 David 1732 with great 1419 lovingkindness 2617, and have made 4427 me king 4427 in his place 8478.
9 "Now 6258, O LORD 3068 God 430, Your promise 1697 to my father 1 David 1732 is fulfilled 539, for You have made 4427 me king 4427 over 5921 a people 5971 as numerous 7227 as the dust 6083 of the earth 776.
10 "Give 5414 me now 6258 wisdom 2451 and knowledge 4093, that I may go 3318 out and come 935 in before 6440 this 2088 people 5971, for who 4310 can rule 8199 this 2088 great 1419 people 5971 of Yours?"
11 God 430 said 559 to Solomon 8010, "Because you had 1961 this 2088 in mind 3824, and did not ask 7592 for riches 6239, wealth 5233 or honor 3519, or the life 5315 of those who hate 8130 you, nor 3808 have you even 1571 asked 7592 for long 7227 life 3117, but you have asked 7592 for yourself wisdom 2451 and knowledge 4093 that you may rule 8199 My people 5971 over 5921 whom 834 I have made 4427 you king 4427,
12 wisdom 2451 and knowledge 4093 have been granted 5414 to you. And I will give 5414 you riches 6239 and wealth 5233 and honor 3519, such as none 3808 of the kings 4428 who 834 were before 6440 you has possessed nor 3808 those who will come after 310 you."
13 So Solomon 8010 went 935 from the high 1116 place 1116 which 834 was at Gibeon 1391, from the tent 168 of meeting 4150, to Jerusalem 3389, and he reigned 4427 over 5921 Israel 3478.
14 Solomon's Wealth
¶ Solomon 8010 amassed 622 chariots 7393 and horsemen 6571. He had 1961 1,400 chariots 7393 and 12,000 horsemen 6571, and he stationed 5117 them in the chariot 7393 cities 5892 and with the king 4428 at Jerusalem 3389.
15 The king 4428 made 5414 silver 3701 and gold 2091 as plentiful 7230 in Jerusalem 3389 as stones 68, and he made 5414 cedars 730 as plentiful 7230 as sycamores 8256 in the lowland 8219.
16 Solomon's 8010 horses 5483 were imported 4161 from Egypt 4714 and from Kue 6961; the king's 4428 traders 5503 procured 3947 them from Kue 6961 for a price 4242.
17 They imported chariots 4818 from Egypt 4714 for 600 {shekels} of silver 3701 apiece and horses 5483 for 150 apiece, and by the same 3651 means they exported 3318 them to all 3605 the kings 4428 of the Hittites 2850 and the kings 4428 of Aram 758.
Chapter 2
1 Solomon Will Build a Temple and Palace
Now Solomon 8010 decided 559 to build 1129 a house 1004 for the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 and a royal 4438 palace 1004 for himself.
2 So Solomon 8010 assigned 5608 70,000 men 376 to carry 5449 loads 5449 and 80,000 men 376 to quarry 2672 {stone} in the mountains 2022 and 3,600 to supervise 5329 them.
3 ¶ Then Solomon 8010 sent 7971 {word} to Huram 2361 the king 4428 of Tyre 6865, saying 559, "As you dealt 6213 with David 1732 my father 1 and sent 7971 him cedars 730 to build 1129 him a house 1004 to dwell 3427 in, so do for me.
4 "Behold 2009, I am about to build 1129 a house 1004 for the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 my God 430, dedicating 6942 it to Him, to burn 6999 fragrant 5561 incense 7004 before 6440 Him and {to set out} the showbread 4635 continually 8548, and to offer burnt 5930 offerings 5930 morning 1242 and evening 6153, on sabbaths 7676 and on new 2320 moons 2320 and on the appointed 4150 feasts 4150 of the LORD 3068 our God 430, this 2088 {being required} forever 5769 in Israel 3478.
5 "The house 1004 which 834 I am about to build 1129 {will be} great 1419, for greater 1419 is our God 430 than 4480 all 3605 the gods 430.
6 "But who 4310 is able to build 1129 a house 1004 for Him, for the heavens 8064 and the highest 8064 heavens 8064 cannot 3808 contain 3557 Him? So who 4310 am I, that I should build 1129 a house 1004 for Him, except to burn 6999 {incense} before 6440 Him?
7 "Now 6258 send 7971 me a skilled 2450 man 376 to work 6213 in gold 2091, silver 3701, brass 5178 and iron 1270, and in purple 710, crimson 3758 and violet 8504 {fabrics,} and who knows 3045 how to make 6605 engravings 6603, to {work} with the skilled 2450 men 2450 whom 834 I have 5973 in Judah 3063 and Jerusalem 3389, whom 834 David 1732 my father 1 provided 3559.
8 "Send 7971 me also cedar 730, cypress 1265 and algum 418 timber 6086 from Lebanon 3844, for I know 3045 that your servants 5650 know 3045 how to cut 3772 timber 6086 of Lebanon 3844; and indeed 2009 my servants 5650 {will work} with your servants 5650,
9 to prepare 3559 timber 6086 in abundance 7230 for me, for the house 1004 which 834 I am about to build 1129 {will be} great 1419 and wonderful 6381.
10 "Now behold 2009, I will give 5414 to your servants 5650, the woodsmen 2404 who cut 3772 the timber 6086, 20,000 kors 3734 of crushed 4347 wheat 2406 and 20,000 kors 3734 of barley 8184, and 20,000 baths 1324 of wine 3196 and 20,000 baths 1324 of oil 8081."
11 Huram to Assist
¶ Then Huram 2361, king 4428 of Tyre 6865, answered 559 in a letter 3791 sent 7971 to Solomon 8010: "Because the LORD 3068 loves 157 His people 5971, He has made 5414 you king 4428 over 5921 them."
12 Then Huram 2361 continued 559, "Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, who 834 has made 6213 heaven 8064 and earth 776, who 834 has given 5414 King 4428 David 1732 a wise 2450 son 1121, endowed 3045 with discretion 7922 and understanding 998, who 834 will build 1129 a house 1004 for the LORD 3068 and a royal 4438 palace 1004 for himself.
13 ¶ "Now 6258 I am sending 7971 Huram-abi, a skilled 2450 man 376, endowed 3045 with understanding 998,
14 the son 1121 of a Danite woman 802 and a Tyrian 6876 father 1, who knows 3045 how to work 6213 in gold 2091, silver 3701, bronze 5178, iron 1270, stone 68 and wood 6086, {and} in purple 713, violet 8504, linen 948 and crimson 3758 fabrics, and {who knows how} to make 6605 all 3605 kinds of engravings 6605 and to execute 2803 any 3605 design 4284 which 834 may be assigned 5414 to him, {to work} with your skilled 2450 men 2450 and with those 2450 of my lord 113 David 1732 your father 1.
15 "Now 6258 then, let my lord 113 send 7971 to his servants 5650 wheat 2406 and barley 8184, oil 8081 and wine 3196, of which 834 he has spoken 559.
16 "We will cut 3772 whatever 3605 timber 6086 you need 6878 from Lebanon 3844 and bring 935 it to you on rafts 7513 by sea 3220 to Joppa 3305, so that you may carry 5927 it up to Jerusalem 3389."
17 ¶ Solomon 8010 numbered 5608 all 3605 the aliens 1616 who 834 {were} in the land 776 of Israel 3478, following 310 the census 5610 which 834 his father 1 David 1732 had taken 5608; and 153,600 were found 4672.
18 He appointed 6213 70,000 of them to carry 5449 loads 5449 and 80,000 to quarry 2672 {stones} in the mountains 2022 and 3,600 supervisors 5329 to make the people 5971 work 5647.
Chapter 3
1 The Temple Construction in Jerusalem
Then Solomon 8010 began 2490 to build 1129 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 in Jerusalem 3389 on Mount 2022 Moriah 4179, where 834 {the L{ORD}} had appeared 7200 to his father 1 David 1732, at the place 4725 that David 1732 had prepared 3559 on the threshing 1637 floor 1637 of Ornan 771 the Jebusite 2983.
2 He began 2490 to build 1129 on the second 8145 {day} in the second 8145 month 2320 of the fourth 702 year 8141 of his reign 4438.
3 Dimensions and Materials of the Temple
Now these 428 are the foundations 3245 which Solomon 8010 laid 3245 for building 1129 the house 1004 of God 430. The length 753 in cubits 520, according to the old 7223 standard 4060 {was} sixty 8346 cubits 520, and the width 7341 twenty 6242 cubits 520.
4 The porch 197 which 834 was in front 6440 of the house was as long 753 as the width 7341 of the house 1004, twenty 6242 cubits 520, and the height 1363 120; and inside he overlaid 6823 it with pure 2889 gold 2091.
5 He overlaid 2645 the main 1419 room 1004 with cypress 1265 wood 6086 and overlaid 2645 it with fine 2896 gold 2091, and ornamented it with palm 8561 trees 8561 and chains 8333.
6 Further, he adorned 6823 the house 1004 with precious 3368 stones 68; and the gold 2091 was gold 2091 from Parvaim 6516.
7 He also overlaid 2645 the house 1004 with gold 2091--the beams 6982, the thresholds 5592 and its walls 7023 and its doors 1817; and he carved 6605 cherubim 3742 on the walls 7023.
8 ¶ Now he made 6213 the room 1004 of the holy 6944 of holies 6944: its length 753 across the width 7341 of the house 1004 {was} twenty 6242 cubits 520, and its width 7341 {was} twenty 6242 cubits 520; and he overlaid 2645 it with fine 2896 gold 2091, {amounting} to 600 talents 3603.
9 The weight 4948 of the nails 4548 was fifty 2572 shekels 8255 of gold 2091. He also overlaid 2645 the upper 5944 rooms 5944 with gold 2091.
10 ¶ Then he made 6213 two 8147 sculptured cherubim 3742 in the room 1004 of the holy 6944 of holies 6944 and overlaid 6823 them with gold 2091.
11 The wingspan 3671 of the cherubim 3742 {was} twenty 6242 cubits 520; the wing 3671 of one 259, of five 2568 cubits 520, touched 5060 the wall 7023 of the house 1004, and {its} other 312 wing 3671, of five 2568 cubits 520, touched 5060 the wing 3671 of the other 312 cherub 3742.
12 The wing 3671 of the other 312 cherub 3742, of five 2568 cubits 520, touched 5060 the wall 7023 of the house 1004; and {its} other 312 wing 3671 of five 2568 cubits 520 was attached 1695 to the wing 3671 of the first 312 cherub 3742.
13 The wings 3671 of these 428 cherubim 3742 extended 6566 twenty 6242 cubits 520, and they stood 5975 on their feet 7272 facing 6440 the {main} room 1004.
14 He made 6213 the veil 6532 of violet 8504, purple 713, crimson 3758 and fine 948 linen 948, and he worked 5927 cherubim 3742 on it.
15 ¶ He also made 6213 two 8147 pillars 5982 for the front 6440 of the house 1004, thirty-five cubits 520 high 753, and the capital 6858 on the top 7218 of each {was} five 2568 cubits 520.
16 He made 6213 chains 8333 in the inner 1687 sanctuary 1687 and placed 5414 {them} on the tops 7218 of the pillars 5982; and he made 6213 one hundred 3967 pomegranates 7416 and placed 5414 {them} on the chains 8333.
17 He erected 6965 the pillars 5982 in front 6440 of the temple 1964, one 259 on the right 3225 and the other 259 on the left 8040, and named the one on the right 3233 Jachin 3199 and the one on the left 8042 Boaz 1162.
Chapter 4
1 Furnishings of the Temple
Then he made 6213 a bronze 5178 altar 4196, twenty 6242 cubits 520 in length 753 and twenty 6242 cubits 520 in width 7341 and ten 6235 cubits 520 in height 6967.
2 Also he made 6213 the cast 3332 {metal} sea 3220, ten 6235 cubits 520 from brim 8193 to brim 8193, circular 5696 in form 5437, and its height 6967 {was} five 2568 cubits 520 and its circumference thirty 7970 cubits 520.
3 Now figures 1823 like 1823 oxen 1241 {were} under 8478 it {and} all 5439 around it, ten 6235 cubits 520, entirely 5439 encircling 5362 the sea 3220. The oxen 1241 {were} in two 8147 rows 2905, cast 3332 in one piece 4166.
4 It stood 5975 on twelve oxen 1241, three 7969 facing 6437 the north 6828, three 7969 facing 6437 west 3220, three 7969 facing 6437 south 5045 and three 7969 facing 6437 east 4217; and the sea 3220 {was set} on top 4605 of them and all 3605 their hindquarters 268 turned 1004 inwards 1004.
5 It was a handbreadth 2947 thick 5672, and its brim 8193 was made 4639 like the brim 8193 of a cup 3563, {like} a lily 7799 blossom 6525; it could hold 3557 3,000 baths 1324.
6 He also made 6213 ten 6235 basins 3595 in which 1992 to wash 7364, and he set 5414 five 2568 on the right 3225 side 3225 and five 2568 on the left 8040 to rinse 1740 things 4639 for the burnt 5930 offering 5930; but the sea 3220 {was} for the priests 3548 to wash 7364 in.
7 ¶ Then he made 6213 the ten 6235 golden 2091 lampstands 4501 in the way 4941 prescribed 4941 for them and he set 5414 them in the temple 1964, five 2568 on the right 3225 side 3225 and five 2568 on the left 8040.
8 He also made 6213 ten 6235 tables 7979 and placed 5117 them in the temple 1964, five 2568 on the right 3225 side 3225 and five 2568 on the left 8040. And he made 6213 one hundred 3967 golden 2091 bowls 4219.
9 Then he made 6213 the court of the priests 3548 and the great 1419 court 5835 and doors 1817 for the court 5835, and overlaid 6823 their doors 1817 with bronze 5178.
10 He set 5414 the sea 3220 on the right 3233 side 3802 {of the house} toward the southeast.
11 ¶ Huram 2361 also made 6213 the pails 5518, the shovels 3257 and the bowls 4219. So Huram 2361 finished 3615 doing 6213 the work 4399 which he performed 6213 for King 4428 Solomon 8010 in the house 1004 of God 430:
12 the two 8147 pillars 5982, the bowls 1543 and the two capitals 3805 on top 7218 of the pillars 5982, and the two 8147 networks 7639 to cover 3680 the two 8147 bowls 1543 of the capitals 3805 which 834 were on top 7218 of the pillars 5982,
13 and the four 702 hundred 3967 pomegranates 7416 for the two 8147 networks 7639, two 8147 rows 2905 of pomegranates 7416 for each 259 network 7639 to cover 3680 the two 8147 bowls 1543 of the capitals 3805 which 834 were on the pillars 5982.
14 He also made 6213 the stands 4350 and he made 6213 the basins 3595 on the stands 4350,
15 {and} the one 259 sea 3220 with the twelve oxen 1241 under 8478 it.
16 The pails 5518, the shovels 3257, the forks 4207 and all 3605 its utensils 3627, Huram-abi made 6213 of polished 4838 bronze 5178 for King 4428 Solomon 8010 for the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.
17 On the plain 3603 of the Jordan 3383 the king 4428 cast 3332 them in the clay 4568 ground 127 between 996 Succoth 5523 and Zeredah 6868.
18 Thus Solomon 8010 made 6213 all 3605 these 428 utensils 3627 in great 3966 quantities 7230, for the weight 4948 of the bronze 5178 could not be found 2713 out.
19 ¶ Solomon 8010 also made 6213 all 3605 the things 3627 that {were} in the house 1004 of God 430: even the golden 2091 altar 4196, the tables 7979 with the bread 3899 of the Presence 6440 on them,
20 the lampstands 4501 with their lamps 5216 of pure 5462 gold 2091, to burn 1197 in front 6440 of the inner 1687 sanctuary 1687 in the way 4941 prescribed 4941;
21 the flowers 6525, the lamps 5216, and the tongs 4457 of gold 2091, of purest 4357 gold 2091;
22 and the snuffers 4212, the bowls 4219, the spoons 3709 and the firepans 4289 of pure 5462 gold 2091; and the entrance 6607 of the house 1004, its inner 6442 doors 1817 for the holy 6944 of holies 6944 and the doors 1817 of the house 1004, {that is,} of the nave 1964, of gold 2091.
Chapter 5
1 The Ark Is Brought into the Temple
Thus all 3605 the work 4399 that Solomon 8010 performed 6213 for the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 was finished 7999. And Solomon 8010 brought 935 in the things that David 1732 his father 1 had dedicated 6944, even the silver 3701 and the gold 2091 and all 3605 the utensils 3627, {and} put 5414 {them} in the treasuries 214 of the house 1004 of God 430.
2 ¶ Then 227 Solomon 8010 assembled 6950 to Jerusalem 3389 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 and all 3605 the heads 7218 of the tribes 4294, the leaders 5387 of the fathers' 1 {households} of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, to bring 5927 up the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 out of the city 5892 of David 1732, which 1931 is Zion 6726.
3 All 3605 the men 376 of Israel 3478 assembled 6950 themselves to the king 4428 at the feast 2282, that is {in} the seventh 7637 month 2320.
4 Then all 3605 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 came 935, and the Levites 3881 took 5375 up the ark 727.
5 They brought 5927 up the ark 727 and the tent 168 of meeting 4150 and all 3605 the holy 6944 utensils 3627 which 834 {were} in the tent 168; the Levitical 3881 priests 3548 brought 5927 them up.
6 And King 4428 Solomon 8010 and all 3605 the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478 who were assembled 3259 with him before 6440 the ark 727, were sacrificing 2076 so many 7230 sheep 6629 and oxen 1241 that they could not be counted 5608 or numbered 4487.
7 Then the priests 3548 brought 935 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 to its place 4725, into the inner 1687 sanctuary 1687 of the house 1004, to the holy 6944 of holies 6944, under 8478 the wings 3671 of the cherubim 3742.
8 For the cherubim 3742 spread 6566 their wings 3671 over 5921 the place 4725 of the ark 727, so that the cherubim 3742 made 3680 a covering 3680 over 5921 the ark 727 and its poles 905.
9 The poles 905 were so long 748 that the ends 7218 of the poles 905 of the ark 727 could be seen 7200 in front 6440 of the inner 1687 sanctuary 1687, but they could not be seen 7200 outside 2351; and they are there 8033 to this 2088 day 3117.
10 There 369 was nothing 369 in the ark 727 except 7534 the two 8147 tablets 3871 which 834 Moses 4872 put 5414 {there} at Horeb 2722, where 834 the LORD 3068 made 3772 a covenant with the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, when they came 3318 out of Egypt 4714.
11 The Glory of God Fills the Temple
¶ When the priests 3548 came 3318 forth 3318 from the holy 6944 place (for all 3605 the priests 3548 who were present 4672 had sanctified 6942 themselves, without 369 regard 8104 to divisions 4256),
12 and all 3605 the Levitical 3881 singers 7891, Asaph 623, Heman 1968, Jeduthun 3038, and their sons 1121 and kinsmen 251, clothed 3847 in fine 948 linen 948, with cymbals 4700, harps 5035 and lyres 3658, standing 5975 east 4217 of the altar 4196, and with them one hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 priests 3548 blowing 2690 trumpets 2689
13 in unison 259 when the trumpeters 2689 and the singers 7891 were to make 8085 themselves heard 8085 with one 259 voice 6963 to praise 1984 and to glorify 3034 the LORD 3068, and when they lifted 7311 up their voice 6963 accompanied by trumpets 2689 and cymbals 4700 and instruments 3627 of music 7892, and when they praised 1984 the LORD 3068 {saying,} "{He} indeed 3588 is good 2896 for His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769," then the house 1004, the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, was filled 4390 with a cloud 6051,
14 so that the priests 3548 could 3201 not stand 5975 to minister 8334 because of the cloud 6051, for the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 filled 4390 the house 1004 of God 430.
Chapter 6
1 Solomon's Dedication
Then 227 Solomon 8010 said 559, "The LORD 3068 has said 559 that He would dwell 7931 in the thick 6205 cloud 6205.
2 "I have built 1129 You a lofty 2073 house 1004, And a place 4349 for Your dwelling 3427 forever 5769."
3 ¶ Then the king 4428 faced about 5437 and blessed 1288 all 3605 the assembly 6951 of Israel 3478, while all 3605 the assembly 6951 of Israel 3478 was standing 5975.
4 He said 559, "Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, who 834 spoke 1696 with His mouth 6310 to my father 1 David 1732 and has fulfilled 4390 {it} with His hands 3027, saying 559,
5 'Since 4480 the day 3117 that I brought 3318 My people 5971 from the land 776 of Egypt 4714, I did not choose 977 a city 5892 out of all 3605 the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 {in which} to build 1129 a house 1004 that My name 8034 might be there 8033, nor 3808 did I choose 977 any 376 man 376 for a leader 5057 over 5921 My people 5971 Israel 3478;
6 but I have chosen 977 Jerusalem 3389 that My name 8034 might be there 8033, and I have chosen 977 David 1732 to be over 5921 My people 5971 Israel 3478.'
7 "Now it was in the heart 3824 of my father 1 David 1732 to build 1129 a house 1004 for the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478.
8 "But the LORD 3068 said 559 to my father 1 David 1732, 'Because it was in your heart 3824 to build 1129 a house 1004 for My name 8034, you did 2895 well 2895 that it was in your heart 3824.
9 'Nevertheless 7534 you shall not build 1129 the house 1004, but your son 1121 who will be born to you, he shall build 1129 the house 1004 for My name 8034.'
10 "Now the LORD 3068 has fulfilled 6965 His word 1697 which 834 He spoke 1696; for I have risen 6965 in the place 8478 of my father 1 David 1732 and sit 3427 on the throne 3678 of Israel 3478, as the LORD 3068 promised 1696, and have built 1129 the house 1004 for the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478.
11 "There 8033 I have set 7760 the ark 727 in which 834 is the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, which 834 He made 3772 with the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."
12 Solomon's Prayer of Dedication
¶ Then he stood 5975 before 6440 the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068 in the presence 5048 of all 3605 the assembly 6951 of Israel 3478 and spread 6566 out his hands 3709.
13 Now 3588 Solomon 8010 had made 6213 a bronze 5178 platform 3595, five 2568 cubits 520 long 753, five 2568 cubits 520 wide 7341 and three 7969 cubits 520 high 6967, and had set 5414 it in the midst 8432 of the court 5835; and he stood 5975 on it, knelt 1288 on his knees 1290 in the presence 5048 of all 3605 the assembly 6951 of Israel 3478 and spread 6566 out his hands 3709 toward heaven 8064.
14 He said 559, "O LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, there 369 is no 369 god 430 like 3644 You in heaven 8064 or on earth 776, keeping 8104 covenant 1285 and {showing} lovingkindness 2617 to Your servants 5650 who walk 1980 before 6440 You with all 3605 their heart 3820;
15 who 834 has kept 8104 with Your servant 5650 David 1732, my father 1, that which 834 You have promised 1696 him; indeed You have spoken 1696 with Your mouth 6310 and have fulfilled 4390 it with Your hand 3027, as it is this 2088 day 3117.
16 "Now 6258 therefore, O LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, keep 8104 with Your servant 5650 David 1732, my father 1, that which 834 You have promised 1696 him, saying 559, 'You shall not lack 3772 a man 376 to sit 3427 on the throne 3678 of Israel 3478, if 518 only 7534 your sons 1121 take 8104 heed 8104 to their way 1870, to walk 1980 in My law 8451 as you have walked 1980 before 6440 Me.'
17 "Now 6258 therefore, O LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, let Your word 1697 be confirmed 539 which 834 You have spoken 1696 to Your servant 5650 David 1732.
18 ¶ "But will God 430 indeed 552 dwell 3427 with mankind 120 on the earth 776? Behold 2009, heaven 8064 and the highest 8064 heaven 8064 cannot 3808 contain 3557 You; how 637 much less 637 this 2088 house 1004 which 834 I have built 1129.
19 "Yet have 6437 regard 6437 to the prayer 8605 of Your servant 5650 and to his supplication 8467, O LORD 3068 my God 430, to listen 8085 to the cry 7440 and to the prayer 8605 which 834 Your servant 5650 prays 6419 before 6440 You;
20 that Your eye 5869 may be open 6605 toward 413 this 2088 house 1004 day 3119 and night 3915, toward 413 the place 4725 of which 834 You have said 559 that {You would} put 7760 Your name 8034 there 8033, to listen 8085 to the prayer 8605 which 834 Your servant 5650 shall pray 6419 toward 413 this 2088 place 4725.
21 "Listen 8085 to the supplications 8469 of Your servant 5650 and of Your people 5971 Israel 3478 when 834 they pray 6419 toward 413 this 2088 place 4725; hear 8085 from Your dwelling 3427 place 4725, from heaven 8064; hear 8085 and forgive 5545.
22 ¶ "If 518 a man 376 sins 2398 against his neighbor 7453 and is made 5377 to take 422 an oath 423, and he comes 935 {and} takes 422 an oath 422 before 6440 Your altar 4196 in this 2088 house 1004,
23 then hear 8085 from heaven 8064 and act 6213 and judge 8199 Your servants 5650, punishing 7725 the wicked 7563 by bringing 5414 his way 1870 on his own head 7218 and justifying 6663 the righteous 6662 by giving 5414 him according to his righteousness 6666.
24 ¶ "If 518 Your people 5971 Israel 3478 are defeated 5062 before 6440 an enemy 340 because 3588 they have sinned 2398 against You, and they return 7725 {to You} and confess 3034 Your name 8034, and pray 6419 and make 2603 supplication 2603 before 6440 You in this 2088 house 1004,
25 then hear 8085 from heaven 8064 and forgive 5545 the sin 2403 of Your people 5971 Israel 3478, and bring 7725 them back 7725 to the land 127 which 834 You have given 5414 to them and to their fathers 1.
26 ¶ "When the heavens 8064 are shut 6113 up and there is no 3808 rain 4306 because 3588 they have sinned 2398 against You, and they pray 6419 toward 413 this 2088 place 4725 and confess 3034 Your name 8034, and turn 7725 from their sin 2403 when 3588 You afflict 6031 them;
27 then hear 8085 in heaven 8064 and forgive 5545 the sin 2403 of Your servants 5650 and Your people 5971 Israel 3478, indeed 3588, teach 3384 them the good 2896 way 1870 in which 834 they should walk 1980. And send 5414 rain 4306 on Your land 776 which 834 You have given 5414 to Your people 5971 for an inheritance 5159.
28 ¶ "If 3588 there is famine 7458 in the land 776, if 3588 there is pestilence 1698, if 3588 there is blight 7711 or mildew 3420, if 3588 there is locust 697 or grasshopper 2625, if 3588 their enemies 340 besiege 6887 them in the land 776 of their cities 8179, whatever 3605 plague 5061 or whatever 3605 sickness 4245 {there is,}
29 whatever prayer 8605 or supplication 8467 is made 1961 by any 3605 man 120 or by all 3605 Your people 5971 Israel 3478, each 376 knowing 3045 his own affliction 5061 and his own pain 4341, and spreading 6566 his hands 3709 toward 413 this 2088 house 1004,
30 then hear 8085 from heaven 8064 Your dwelling 3427 place 4349, and forgive 5545, and render 5414 to each 376 according to all 3605 his ways 1870, whose 834 heart 3824 You know 3045 for You alone 905 know 3045 the hearts 3824 of the sons 1121 of men 120,
31 that they may fear 3372 You, to walk 1980 in Your ways 1870 as long as they live 2416 in the land 127 which 834 You have given 5414 to our fathers 1.
32 ¶ "Also 1571 concerning 413 the foreigner 5237 who 834 is not from Your people 5971 Israel 3478, when he comes 935 from a far 7350 country 776 for Your great 1419 name's 8034 sake 4616 and Your mighty 2389 hand 3027 and Your outstretched 5186 arm 2220, when they come 935 and pray 6419 toward 413 this 2088 house 1004,
33 then hear 8085 from heaven 8064, from Your dwelling 3427 place 4349, and do 6213 according to all 3605 for which 834 the foreigner 5237 calls 7121 to You, in order 4616 that all 3605 the peoples 5971 of the earth 776 may know 3045 Your name 8034, and fear 3372 You as {do} Your people 5971 Israel 3478, and that they may know 3045 that this 2088 house 1004 which 834 I have built 1129 is called 7121 by Your name 8034.
34 ¶ "When 3588 Your people 5971 go 3318 out to battle 4421 against 5921 their enemies 340, by whatever 834 way 1870 You shall send 7971 them, and they pray 6419 to You toward 1870 this 2088 city 5892 which 834 You have chosen 977 and the house 1004 which 834 I have built 1129 for Your name 8034,
35 then hear 8085 from heaven 8064 their prayer 8605 and their supplication 8467, and maintain 6213 their cause 4941.
36 ¶ "When 3588 they sin 2398 against You (for there 369 is no 369 man 120 who 834 does not sin 2398) and You are angry 599 with them and deliver 5414 them to an enemy 340, so that they take 7617 them away captive 7617 to a land 776 far 7350 off or 176 near 7138,
37 if they take 7725 thought 3824 in the land 776 where they are taken 7617 captive 7617, and repent 7725 and make 2603 supplication 2603 to You in the land 776 of their captivity 7628, saying 559, 'We have sinned 2398, we have committed 5753 iniquity 5753 and have acted 7561 wickedly 7561';
38 if they return 7725 to You with all 3605 their heart 3820 and with all 3605 their soul 5315 in the land 776 of their captivity 7628, where 834 they have been taken 7617 captive 7617, and pray 6419 toward 1870 their land 776 which 834 You have given 5414 to their fathers 1 and the city 5892 which 834 You have chosen 977, and toward the house 1004 which 834 I have built 1129 for Your name 8034,
39 then hear 8085 from heaven 8064, from Your dwelling 3427 place 4349, their prayer 8605 and supplications 8467, and maintain 6213 their cause 4941 and forgive 5545 Your people 5971 who 834 have sinned 2398 against You.
40 ¶ "Now 6258, O my God 430, I pray 4994, let Your eyes 5869 be open 6605 and Your ears 241 attentive 7183 to the prayer 8605 {offered} in this 2088 place 4725.
