|
10. And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
|
|
11. So that the priests H3548 could H3201 not H3808 stand H5975 to minister H8334 because H4480 H6440 of the cloud H6051 : for H3588 the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 had filled H4390 H853 the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .

|
15. 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,
|
|
16. Since H4480 the day H3117 that H834 I brought forth H3318 H853 my people H5971 H853 Israel H3478 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , I chose H977 no H3808 city H5892 out of all H4480 H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to build H1129 a house H1004 , that my name H8034 might be H1961 therein H8033 ; but I chose H977 David H1732 to be H1961 over H5921 my people H5971 Israel H3478 .
|
16. 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.
|
|
17. And it was H1961 in H5973 the heart H3824 of David H1732 my father H1 to build H1129 a house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 .
|
17. And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
|
|
18. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 David H1732 my father H1 , Whereas H3282 H834 it was H1961 in H5973 thine heart H3824 to build H1129 a house H1004 unto my name H8034 , thou didst well H2895 that H3588 it was H1961 in H5973 thine heart H3824 .
|
18. 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.
|
|
19. Nevertheless H7535 thou H859 shalt not H3808 build H1129 the house H1004 ; but H3588 H518 thy son H1121 that shall come forth H3318 out of thy loins H4480 H2504 , he H1931 shall build H1129 the house H1004 unto my name H8034 .
|
19. 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.
|
|
20. And the LORD H3068 hath performed H6965 H853 his word H1697 that H834 he spoke H1696 , and I am risen up H6965 in the room H8478 of David H1732 my father H1 , and sit H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of Israel H3478 , as H834 the LORD H3068 promised H1696 , and have built H1129 a house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 .
|
20. 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.
|
|
21. And I have set H7760 there H8033 a place H4725 for the ark H727 , wherein H834 H8033 is the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 he made H3772 with H5973 our fathers H1 , when he brought them out H3318 H853 of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
21. 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.
|
|
22. And Solomon H8010 stood H5975 before H6440 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 in the presence H5048 of all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478 , and spread forth H6566 his hands H3709 toward heaven H8064 :
|
22. 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:
|
|
23. And he said H559 , LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , there is no H369 God H430 like thee H3644 , in heaven H8064 above H4480 H4605 , or on H5921 earth H776 beneath H4480 H8478 , who keepest H8104 covenant H1285 and mercy H2617 with thy servants H5650 that walk H1980 before H6440 thee with all H3605 their heart H3820 :
|
23. 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:
|
|
24. Who H834 hast kept H8104 with thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 H853 that H834 thou promisedst H1696 him : thou spakest H1696 also with thy mouth H6310 , and hast fulfilled H4390 it with thine hand H3027 , as it is this H2088 day H3117 .
|
24. 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.
|
|
25. Therefore now H6258 , LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , keep H8104 with thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 H853 that H834 thou promisedst H1696 him, saying H559 , There shall not H3808 fail H3772 thee a man H376 in my sight H4480 H6440 to sit H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of Israel H3478 ; so H7535 that H518 thy children H1121 take heed to H8104 H853 their way H1870 , that they walk H1980 before H6440 me as H834 thou hast walked H1980 before H6440 me.
|
25. 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.
|
|
26. And now H6258 , O God H430 of Israel H3478 , let thy word H1697 , I pray thee H4994 , be verified H539 , which H834 thou spakest H1696 unto thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 .
|
26. And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
|
|
27. But H3588 will God H430 indeed H552 dwell H3427 on H5921 the earth H776 ? behold H2009 , the heaven H8064 and heaven H8064 of heavens H8064 cannot H3808 contain H3557 thee ; how much less H637 H3588 this H2088 house H1004 that H834 I have built H1129 ?
|
27. 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?
|
|
28. Yet have thou respect H6437 unto H413 the prayer H8605 of thy servant H5650 , and to H413 his supplication H8467 , O LORD H3068 my God H430 , to hearken H8085 unto H413 the cry H7440 and to H413 the prayer H8605 , which H834 thy servant H5650 prayeth H6419 before H6440 thee today H3117 :
|
28. 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:
|
|
29. That thine eyes H5869 may be H1961 open H6605 toward H413 this H2088 house H1004 night H3915 and day H3117 , even toward H413 the place H4725 of which H834 thou hast said H559 , My name H8034 shall be H1961 there H8033 : that thou mayest hearken H8085 unto H413 the prayer H8605 which H834 thy servant H5650 shall make H6419 toward H413 this H2088 place H4725 .
|
29. 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.
|
|
30. And hearken H8085 thou to H413 the supplication H8467 of thy servant H5650 , and of thy people H5971 Israel H3478 , when H834 they shall pray H6419 toward H413 this H2088 place H4725 : and hear H8085 thou H859 in H413 heaven H8064 thy dwelling H3427 place H4725 : and when thou hearest H8085 , forgive H5545 .
|
30. 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.
|
|
31. H853 If H834 any man H376 trespass H2398 against his neighbor H7453 , and an oath H423 be laid H5377 upon him to cause him to swear H422 , and the oath H422 come H935 before H6440 thine altar H4196 in this H2088 house H1004 :
|
31. If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:
|
|
32. Then hear H8085 thou H859 in heaven H8064 , and do H6213 , and judge H8199 H853 thy servants H5650 , condemning H7561 the wicked H7563 , to bring H5414 his way H1870 upon his head H7218 ; and justifying H6663 the righteous H6662 , to give H5414 him according to his righteousness H6666 .
|
32. 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.
|
|
33. When thy people H5971 Israel H3478 be smitten down H5062 before H6440 the enemy H341 , because H834 they have sinned H2398 against thee , and shall turn again H7725 to H413 thee , and confess H3034 H853 thy name H8034 , and pray H6419 , and make supplication H2603 unto H413 thee in this H2088 house H1004 :
|
33. 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:

|
34. 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.
|
|
35. When heaven H8064 is shut up H6113 , and there is H1961 no H3808 rain H4306 , because H3588 they have sinned H2398 against thee ; if they pray H6419 toward H413 this H2088 place H4725 , and confess H3034 H853 thy name H8034 , and turn H7725 from their sin H4480 H2403 , when H3588 thou afflictest H6031 them:
|
35. 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:
|
|
36. Then hear H8085 thou H859 in heaven H8064 , and forgive H5545 the sin H2403 of thy servants H5650 , and of thy people H5971 Israel H3478 , that H3588 thou teach H3384 them H853 the H834 good H2896 way H1870 wherein they should walk H1980 , and give H5414 rain H4306 upon H5921 thy land H776 , which H834 thou hast given H5414 to thy people H5971 for an inheritance H5159 .

38. What H3605 prayer H8605 and supplication H8467 soever H3605 H834 be H1961 made by any H3605 man H120 , or by all H3605 thy people H5971 Israel H3478 , which H834 shall know H3045 every man H376 the plague H5061 of his own heart H3824 , and spread forth H6566 his hands H3709 toward H413 this H2088 house H1004 :

39. 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;)
|
|
40. That H4616 they may fear H3372 thee all H3605 the days H3117 that H834 they H1992 live H2416 in H5921 H6440 the land H127 which H834 thou gavest H5414 unto our fathers H1 .

|
41. Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;

43. Hear H8085 thou H859 in heaven H8064 thy dwelling H3427 place H4349 , and do H6213 according to all H3605 that H834 the stranger H5237 calleth H7121 to H413 thee for: that H4616 all H3605 people H5971 of the earth H776 may know H3045 H853 thy name H8034 , to fear H3372 thee , as do thy people H5971 Israel H3478 ; and that they may know H3045 that H3588 this H2088 house H1004 , which H834 I have built H1129 , is called H7121 by H5921 thy name H8034 .
|
43. 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.

44. If H3588 thy people H5971 go out H3318 to battle H4421 against H5921 their enemy H341 , whithersoever H1870 H834 thou shalt send H7971 them , and shall pray H6419 unto H413 the LORD H3068 toward H1870 the city H5892 which H834 thou hast chosen H977 , and toward the house H1004 that H834 I have built H1129 for thy name H8034 :

|
46. 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;

47. Yet if they shall bethink themselves H7725 H413 H3820 in the land H776 whither H834 H8033 they were carried captives H7617 , and repent H7725 , and make supplication H2603 unto H413 thee in the land H776 of them that carried them captives H7617 , saying H559 , We have sinned H2398 , and have done perversely H5753 , we have committed wickedness H7561 ;
|
47. 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;
|
|
48. And so return H7725 unto H413 thee with all H3605 their heart H3824 , and with all H3605 their soul H5315 , in the land H776 of their enemies H341 , which H834 led them away captive H7617 H853 , and pray H6419 unto H413 thee toward H1870 their land H776 , which H834 thou gavest H5414 unto their fathers H1 , the city H5892 which H834 thou hast chosen H977 , and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for thy name H8034 :
|
48. 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:
|
|
49. Then hear H8085 thou H853 their prayer H8605 and their supplication H8467 in heaven H8064 thy dwelling H3427 place H4349 , and maintain H6213 their cause H4941 ,
|
49. Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
|
|
50. And forgive H5545 thy people H5971 that H834 have sinned H2398 against thee , and all H3605 their transgressions H6588 wherein H834 they have transgressed H6586 against thee , and give H5414 them compassion H7356 before H6440 them who carried them captive H7617 , that they may have compassion on H7355 them:
|
50. 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:
|
|
51. For H3588 they H1992 be thy people H5971 , and thine inheritance H5159 , which H834 thou broughtest forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , from the midst H4480 H8432 of the furnace H3564 of iron H1270 :
|
51. For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
|
|
52. That thine eyes H5869 may be H1961 open H6605 unto H413 the supplication H8467 of thy servant H5650 , and unto H413 the supplication H8467 of thy people H5971 Israel H3478 , to hearken H8085 unto H413 them in all H3605 that they call H7121 for unto H413 thee.
|
52. 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.
|
|
53. For H3588 thou H859 didst separate H914 them from among all H4480 H3605 the people H5971 of the earth H776 , to be thine inheritance H5159 , as H834 thou spakest H1696 by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 thy servant H5650 , when thou broughtest H3318 H853 our fathers H1 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , O Lord H136 GOD H3068 .
|
53. 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.

|
56. 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.
|
|
57. The LORD H3068 our God H430 be H1961 with H5973 us, as H834 he was H1961 with H5973 our fathers H1 : let him not H408 leave H5800 us, nor H408 forsake H5203 us:

59. And let these H428 my words H1697 , wherewith H834 I have made supplication H2603 before H6440 the LORD H3068 , be H1961 nigh H7138 unto H413 the LORD H3068 our God H430 day H3119 and night H3915 , that he maintain H6213 the cause H4941 of his servant H5650 , and the cause H4941 of his people H5971 Israel H3478 at all times H3117 , as the matter H1697 shall require H3117 :
|
59. 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:

60. That H4616 all H3605 the people H5971 of the earth H776 may know H3045 that H3588 the LORD H3068 is God H430 , and that there is none H369 else H5750 .

|
61. 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.
