1 # Now when Solomon <08010> had made an end <03615> (8763) of praying <06419> (8692), the fire <0784> came down <03381> (8804) from heaven <08064>, and consumed <0398> (8799) the burnt offering <05930> and the sacrifices <02077>; and the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> filled <04390> (8804) the house <01004>.
2 And the priests <03548> could <03201> (8804) not enter <0935> (8800) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, because the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> had filled <04390> (8804) the LORD'S <03068> house <01004> .
3 And when all the children <01121> of Israel <03478> saw <07200> (8802) how the fire <0784> came down <03381> (8800), and the glory <03519> of the LORD <03068> upon the house <01004>, they bowed <03766> (8799) themselves with their faces <0639> to the ground <0776> upon the pavement <07531>, and worshipped <07812> (8691), and praised <03034> (8687) the LORD <03068>, saying, For he is good <02896>; for his mercy <02617> endureth for ever <05769>.
4 Then the king <04428> and all the people <05971> offered <02076> (8802) sacrifices <02077> before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
5 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> offered <02076> (8799) a sacrifice <02077> of twenty <06242> and two <08147> thousand <0505> oxen <01241>, and an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> sheep <06629> : so the king <04428> and all the people <05971> dedicated <02596> (8799) the house <01004> of God <0430>.
6 And the priests <03548> waited <05975> (8802) on their offices <04931>: the Levites <03881> also with instruments <03627> of musick <07892> of the LORD <03068>, which David <01732> the king <04428> had made <06213> (8804) to praise <03034> (8687) the LORD <03068>, because his mercy <02617> endureth for ever <05769>, when David <01732> praised <01984> (8763) by their ministry <03027>; and the priests <03548> sounded trumpets <02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764) before them, and all Israel <03478> stood <05975> (8802).
7 Moreover Solomon <08010> hallowed <06942> (8762) the middle <08432> of the court <02691> that was before <06440> the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>: for there he offered <06213> (8804) burnt offerings <05930>, and the fat <02459> of the peace offerings <08002>, because the brasen <05178> altar <04196> which Solomon <08010> had made <06213> (8804) was not able <03201> (8804) to receive <03557> (8687) the burnt offerings <05930>, and the meat offerings <04503>, and the fat <02459>.
8 Also at the same time <06256> Solomon <08010> kept <06213> (8799) the feast <02282> seven <07651> days <03117>, and all Israel <03478> with him, a very <03966> great <01419> congregation <06951>, from the entering in <0935> (8800) of Hamath <02574> unto the river <05158> of Egypt <04714>.
9 And in the eighth <08066> day <03117> they made <06213> (8799) a solemn assembly <06116>: for they kept <06213> (8804) the dedication <02598> of the altar <04196> seven <07651> days <03117>, and the feast <02282> seven <07651> days <03117>.
10 And on the three <07969> and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the seventh <07637> month <02320> he sent <07971> <00> the people <05971> away <07971> (8765) into their tents <0168>, glad <08056> and merry <02896> in heart <03820> for the goodness <02896> that the LORD <03068> had shewed <06213> (8804) unto David <01732>, and to Solomon <08010>, and to Israel <03478> his people <05971>.
11 Thus Solomon <08010> finished <03615> (8762) the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and the king's <04428> house <01004>: and all that came <0935> (8802) into Solomon's <08010> heart <03820> to make <06213> (8800) in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and in his own house <01004>, he prosperously effected <06743> (8689).
12 # And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8735) to Solomon <08010> by night <03915>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, I have heard <08085> (8804) thy prayer <08605>, and have chosen <0977> (8804) this place <04725> to myself for an house <01004> of sacrifice <02077>.
13 If <02005> I shut up <06113> (8799) heaven <08064> that there be no rain <04306>, or if I command <06680> (8762) the locusts <02284> to devour <0398> (8800) the land <0776>, or if I send <07971> (8762) pestilence <01698> among my people <05971>;
14 If my people <05971>, which are called <07121> (8738) by my name <08034>, shall humble <03665> (8735) themselves, and pray <06419> (8691), and seek <01245> (8762) my face <06440>, and turn <07725> (8799) from their wicked <07451> ways <01870>; then will I hear <08085> (8799) from heaven <08064>, and will forgive <05545> (8799) their sin <02403>, and will heal <07495> (8799) their land <0776>.
15 Now mine eyes <05869> shall be open <06605> (8803), and mine ears <0241> attent <07183> unto the prayer <08605> that is made in this place <04725>.
16 For now have I chosen <0977> (8804) and sanctified <06942> (8689) this house <01004>, that my name <08034> may be there for <05704> ever <05769>: and mine eyes <05869> and mine heart <03820> shall be there perpetually <03117>.
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk <03212> (8799) before <06440> me, as David <01732> thy father <01> walked <01980> (8804), and do <06213> (8800) according to all that I have commanded <06680> (8765) thee, and shalt observe <08104> (8799) my statutes <02706> and my judgments <04941>;
18 Then will I stablish <06965> (8689) the throne <03678> of thy kingdom <04438>, according as I have covenanted <03772> (8804) with David <01732> thy father <01>, saying <0559> (8800), There shall not fail <03772> (8735) thee a man <0376> to be ruler <04910> (8802) in Israel <03478>.
19 But if ye turn away <07725> (8799), and forsake <05800> (8804) my statutes <02708> and my commandments <04687>, which I have set <05414> (8804) before <06440> you, and shall go <01980> (8804) and serve <05647> (8804) other <0312> gods <0430>, and worship <07812> (8694) them;
20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots <05428> (8804) out of my land <0127> which I have given <05414> (8804) them; and this house <01004>, which I have sanctified <06942> (8689) for my name <08034>, will I cast out <07993> (8686) of my sight <06440>, and will make <05414> (8799) it to be a proverb <04912> and a byword <08148> among all nations <05971> .
21 And this house <01004>, which is high <05945>, shall be an astonishment <08074> (8799) to every one that passeth <05674> (8802) by it; so that he shall say <0559> (8804), Why hath the LORD <03068> done <06213> (8804) thus unto this land <0776>, and unto this house <01004>?
22 And it shall be answered <0559> (8804), Because they forsook <05800> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of their fathers <01>, which brought them forth <03318> (8689) out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, and laid hold <02388> (8686) on other <0312> gods <0430>, and worshipped <07812> (8691) them, and served <05647> (8799) them: therefore hath he brought <0935> (8689) all this evil <07451> upon them.
