1 Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that he would dwell in thick darkness.

2 I have built thee an exalted house, a place for thee to dwell in for ever."

3 Then the king faced about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel stood.

4 And he said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his hand has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to David my father, saying,

5 `Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city in all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there, and I chose no man as prince over my people Israel;

6 but I have chosen Jerusalem that my name may be there and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'

7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

8 But the LORD said to David my father, `Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;

9 nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.'

10 Now the LORD has fulfilled his promise which he made; for I have risen in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and I have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

11 And there I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD which he made with the people of Israel."

12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands.

13 Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the court; and he stood upon it. Then he knelt upon his knees in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;

14 and said, "O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven or on earth, keeping covenant and showing steadfast love to thy servants who walk before thee with all their heart;

15 who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou didst declare to him; yea, thou didst speak with thy mouth, and with thy hand hast fulfilled it this day.

16 Now therefore, O LORD, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him, saying, `There shall never fail you a man before me to sit upon the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.'

17 Now therefore, O LORD, God of Israel, let thy word be confirmed, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.

18 "But will God dwell indeed with man on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

19 Yet have regard to the prayer of thy servant and to his supplication, O LORD my God, hearkening to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee;

20 that thy eyes may be open day and night toward this house, the place where thou hast promised to set thy name, that thou mayest hearken to the prayer which thy servant offers toward this place.

21 And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant and of thy people Israel, when they pray toward this place; yea, hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place; and when thou hearest, forgive.

22 "If a man sins against his neighbor and is made to take an oath, and comes and swears his oath before thy altar in this house,

23 then hear thou from heaven, and act, and judge thy servants, requiting the guilty by bringing his conduct upon his own head, and vindicating the righteous by rewarding him according to his righteousness.

24 "If thy people Israel are defeated before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, when they turn again and acknowledge thy name, and pray and make supplication to thee in this house,

25 then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

26 "When heaven is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and acknowledge thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them,

27 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, thy people Israel, when thou dost teach them the good way in which they should walk; and grant rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people as an inheritance.

28 "If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence or blight or mildew or locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in any of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;

29 whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by any man or by all thy people Israel, each knowing his own affliction, and his own sorrow and stretching out his hands toward this house;

30 then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render to each whose heart thou knowest, according to all his ways (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men);

31 that they may fear thee and walk in thy ways all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.

32 "Likewise when a foreigner, who is not of thy people Israel, comes from a far country for the sake of thy great name, and thy mighty hand, and thy outstretched arm, when he comes and prays toward this house,

33 hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to thee; in order that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name and fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

34 "If thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee toward this city which thou hast chosen and the house which I have built for thy name,

35 then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

36 "If they sin against thee -- for there is no man who does not sin -- and thou art angry with them, and dost give them to an enemy, so that they are carried away captive to a land far or near;

37 yet if they lay it to heart in the land to which they have been carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, `We have sinned, and have acted perversely and wickedly';

38 if they repent with all their mind and with all their heart in the land of their captivity, to which they were carried captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,

39 then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.

40 Now, O my God, let thy eyes be open and thy ears attentive to a prayer of this place.

41 "And now arise, O LORD God, and go to thy resting place, thou and the ark of thy might. Let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in thy goodness.

42 O LORD God, do not turn away the face of thy anointed one! Remember thy steadfast love for David thy servant."

1 Then ^H227 said ^H559 Solomon, ^H8010 The LORD ^H3068 hath said ^H559 that he would dwell ^H7931 in the thick darkness. ^H6205

2 But I ^H589 have built ^H1129 a house ^H1004 of habitation ^H2073 for thee , and a place ^H4349 for thy dwelling ^H3427 forever. ^H5769

3 And the king ^H4428 turned ^H5437 ^H853 his face, ^H6440 and blessed ^H1288 ^H853 the whole ^H3605 congregation ^H6951 of Israel: ^H3478 and all ^H3605 the congregation ^H6951 of Israel ^H3478 stood. ^H5975

4 And he said, ^H559 Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 who hath with his hands ^H3027 fulfilled ^H4390 that which ^H834 he spoke ^H1696 with his mouth ^H6310 to ^H854 my father ^H1 David, ^H1732 saying, ^H559

5 Since ^H4480 the day ^H3117 that ^H834 I brought forth ^H3318 ^H853 my people ^H5971 out of the land ^H4480 ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 I chose ^H977 no ^H3808 city ^H5892 among all ^H4480 ^H3605 the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 to build ^H1129 a house ^H1004 in , that my name ^H8034 might be ^H1961 there; ^H8033 neither ^H3808 chose ^H977 I any man ^H376 to be ^H1961 a ruler ^H5057 over ^H5921 my people ^H5971 Israel: ^H3478

6 But I have chosen ^H977 Jerusalem, ^H3389 that my name ^H8034 might be ^H1961 there; ^H8033 and have chosen ^H977 David ^H1732 to be ^H1961 over ^H5921 my people ^H5971 Israel. ^H3478

7 Now 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

8 But the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to ^H413 David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 Forasmuch ^H3588 ^H834 as it was ^H1961 in ^H5973 thine heart ^H3824 to build ^H1129 a house ^H1004 for my name, ^H8034 thou didst well ^H2895 in that ^H3588 it was ^H1961 in ^H5973 thine heart: ^H3824

9 Notwithstanding ^H7535 thou ^H859 shalt not ^H3808 build ^H1129 the house; ^H1004 but ^H3588 thy son ^H1121 which shall come forth ^H3318 out of ^H4480 thy loins, ^H2504 he ^H1931 shall build ^H1129 the house ^H1004 for my name. ^H8034

10 The LORD ^H3068 therefore hath performed ^H6965 ^H853 his word ^H1697 that ^H834 he hath spoken: ^H1696 for I am risen up ^H6965 in the room ^H8478 of David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 and am set ^H3427 on ^H5921 the throne ^H3678 of Israel, ^H3478 as ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 promised, ^H1696 and have built ^H1129 the house ^H1004 for the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel. ^H3478

11 And in it ^H8033 have I put ^H7760 ^H853 the ark, ^H727 wherein ^H834 ^H8033 is the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD, ^H3068 that ^H834 he made ^H3772 with ^H5973 the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478

12 And he stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 the altar ^H4196 of the LORD ^H3068 in the presence of ^H5048 all ^H3605 the congregation ^H6951 of Israel, ^H3478 and spread forth ^H6566 his hands: ^H3709

13 For ^H3588 Solomon ^H8010 had made ^H6213 a brazen ^H5178 scaffold, ^H3595 of five ^H2568 cubits ^H520 long, ^H753 and five ^H2568 cubits ^H520 broad, ^H7341 and three ^H7969 cubits ^H520 high, ^H6967 and had set ^H5414 it in the midst ^H8432 of the court: ^H5835 and upon ^H5921 it he stood, ^H5975 and kneeled down ^H1288 upon ^H5921 his knees ^H1290 before ^H5048 all ^H3605 the congregation ^H6951 of Israel, ^H3478 and spread forth ^H6566 his hands ^H3709 toward heaven, ^H8064

14 And said, ^H559 O LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 there is no ^H369 God ^H430 like thee ^H3644 in the heaven, ^H8064 nor in the earth; ^H776 which keepest ^H8104 covenant, ^H1285 and showest mercy ^H2617 unto thy servants, ^H5650 that walk ^H1980 before ^H6440 thee with all ^H3605 their hearts: ^H3820

15 Thou which ^H834 hast kept ^H8104 with thy servant ^H5650 David ^H1732 my father ^H1 ^H853 that which ^H834 thou hast promised ^H1696 him ; and spakest ^H1696 with thy mouth, ^H6310 and hast fulfilled ^H4390 it with thine hand, ^H3027 as it is this ^H2088 day. ^H3117

16 Now ^H6258 therefore , O LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 keep ^H8104 with thy servant ^H5650 David ^H1732 my father ^H1 ^H853 that which ^H834 thou hast promised ^H1696 him, saying, ^H559 There shall not ^H3808 fail ^H3772 thee a man ^H376 in my sight ^H4480 ^H6440 to sit ^H3427 upon ^H5921 the throne ^H3678 of Israel; ^H3478 yet so ^H7535 that thy children ^H1121 take heed ^H8104 ^H853 to their way ^H1870 to walk ^H1980 in my law, ^H8451 as ^H834 thou hast walked ^H1980 before ^H6440 me.

17 Now ^H6258 then , O LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 let thy word ^H1697 be verified, ^H539 which ^H834 thou hast spoken ^H1696 unto thy servant ^H5650 David. ^H1732

18 But ^H3588 will God ^H430 in very deed ^H552 dwell ^H3427 with ^H854 men ^H120 on ^H5921 the earth ^H776 ? behold, ^H2009 heaven ^H8064 and the heaven ^H8064 of heavens ^H8064 cannot ^H3808 contain ^H3557 thee ; how much less ^H637 this ^H2088 house ^H1004 which ^H834 I have built ^H1129 !

19 Have respect ^H6437 therefore to ^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 the prayer ^H8605 which ^H834 thy servant ^H5650 prayeth ^H6419 before ^H6440 thee:

20 That thine eyes ^H5869 may be ^H1961 open ^H6605 upon ^H413 this ^H2088 house ^H1004 day ^H3119 and night, ^H3915 upon ^H413 the place ^H4725 whereof ^H834 thou hast said ^H559 that thou wouldest put ^H7760 thy name ^H8034 there; ^H8033 to hearken ^H8085 unto ^H413 the prayer ^H8605 which ^H834 thy servant ^H5650 prayeth ^H6419 toward ^H413 this ^H2088 place. ^H4725

21 Hearken ^H8085 therefore unto ^H413 the supplications ^H8469 of thy servant, ^H5650 and of thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 which ^H834 they shall make ^H6419 toward ^H413 this ^H2088 place: ^H4725 hear ^H8085 thou ^H859 from thy dwelling ^H3427 place ^H4480 ^H4725 , even from ^H4480 heaven; ^H8064 and when thou hearest, ^H8085 forgive. ^H5545

22 If ^H518 a man ^H376 sin ^H2398 against his neighbor, ^H7453 and an oath ^H423 be laid ^H5375 upon him to make him swear, ^H422 and the oath ^H423 come ^H935 before ^H6440 thine altar ^H4196 in this ^H2088 house; ^H1004

23 Then hear ^H8085 thou ^H859 from ^H4480 heaven, ^H8064 and do, ^H6213 and judge ^H8199 ^H853 thy servants, ^H5650 by requiting ^H7725 the wicked, ^H7563 by recompensing ^H5414 his way ^H1870 upon his own head; ^H7218 and by justifying ^H6663 the righteous, ^H6662 by giving ^H5414 him according to his righteousness. ^H6666

24 And if ^H518 thy people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478 be put to the worse ^H5062 before ^H6440 the enemy, ^H341 because ^H3588 they have sinned ^H2398 against thee ; and shall return ^H7725 and confess ^H3034 ^H853 thy name, ^H8034 and pray ^H6419 and make supplication ^H2603 before ^H6440 thee in this ^H2088 house; ^H1004

25 Then hear ^H8085 thou ^H859 from ^H4480 the heavens, ^H8064 and forgive ^H5545 the sin ^H2403 of thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 and bring them again ^H7725 unto ^H413 the land ^H127 which ^H834 thou gavest ^H5414 to them and to their fathers. ^H1

26 When the heaven ^H8064 is shut up, ^H6113 and there is ^H1961 no ^H3808 rain, ^H4306 because ^H3588 they have sinned ^H2398 against thee; yet 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 dost afflict ^H6031 them;

27 Then hear ^H8085 thou ^H859 from heaven, ^H8064 and forgive ^H5545 the sin ^H2403 of thy servants, ^H5650 and of thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 when ^H3588 thou hast taught ^H3384 them the good ^H2896 way, ^H1870 wherein ^H834 they should walk; ^H1980 and send ^H5414 rain ^H4306 upon ^H5921 thy land, ^H776 which ^H834 thou hast given ^H5414 unto thy people ^H5971 for an inheritance. ^H5159

28 If ^H3588 there be ^H1961 dearth ^H7458 in the land, ^H776 if ^H3588 there be ^H1961 pestilence, ^H1698 if ^H3588 there be ^H1961 blasting, ^H7711 or mildew, ^H3420 locusts, ^H697 or caterpillars; ^H2625 if ^H3588 their enemies ^H341 besiege ^H6887 them in the cities ^H8179 of their land; ^H776 whatsoever ^H3605 sore ^H5061 or whatsoever ^H3605 sickness ^H4245 there be :

29 Then what ^H3605 prayer ^H8605 or what ^H3605 supplication ^H8467 soever ^H834 shall be made ^H1961 of any ^H3605 man, ^H120 or of all ^H3605 thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 when ^H834 every one ^H376 shall know ^H3045 his own sore ^H5061 and his own grief, ^H4341 and shall spread forth ^H6566 his hands ^H3709 in ^H413 this ^H2088 house: ^H1004

30 Then hear ^H8085 thou ^H859 from ^H4480 heaven ^H8064 thy dwelling ^H3427 place, ^H4349 and forgive, ^H5545 and render ^H5414 unto every man ^H376 according unto all ^H3605 his ways, ^H1870 ^H853 whose heart ^H3824 thou knowest; ^H3045 ( for ^H3588 thou ^H859 only ^H905 knowest ^H3045 ^H853 the hearts ^H3824 of the children ^H1121 of men: ^H120 )

31 That ^H4616 they may fear ^H3372 thee , to walk ^H1980 in thy ways, ^H1870 so long ^H3605 ^H3117 as ^H834 they ^H1992 live ^H2416 in ^H5921 ^H6440 the land ^H127 which ^H834 thou gavest ^H5414 unto our fathers. ^H1

32 Moreover ^H1571 concerning ^H413 the stranger, ^H5237 which ^H834 is not ^H3808 of thy people ^H4480 ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 but is come ^H935 from a far ^H7350 country ^H4480 ^H776 for thy great name's sake ^H4616 H1419, ^H8034 and thy mighty ^H2389 hand, ^H3027 and thy stretched out ^H5186 arm; ^H2220 if they come ^H935 and pray ^H6419 in ^H413 this ^H2088 house; ^H1004

33 Then hear ^H8085 thou ^H859 from ^H4480 the heavens, ^H8064 even from thy dwelling ^H3427 place ^H4480 ^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 and fear ^H3372 thee , as doth thy people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 and may know ^H3045 that ^H3588 this ^H2088 house ^H1004 which ^H834 I have built ^H1129 is called ^H7121 by thy name. ^H8034

34 If ^H3588 thy people ^H5971 go out ^H3318 to war ^H4421 against ^H5921 their enemies ^H341 by the way ^H1870 that ^H834 thou shalt send ^H7971 them , and they pray ^H6419 unto ^H413 thee toward ^H1870 this ^H2063 city ^H5892 which ^H834 thou hast chosen, ^H977 and the house ^H1004 which ^H834 I have built ^H1129 for thy name; ^H8034

35 Then hear ^H8085 thou from ^H4480 the heavens ^H8064 ^H853 their prayer ^H8605 and their supplication, ^H8467 and maintain ^H6213 their cause. ^H4941

36 If ^H3588 they sin ^H2398 against thee, ( for ^H3588 there is no ^H369 man ^H120 which ^H834 sinneth ^H2398 not, ^H3808 ) and thou be angry ^H599 with them , and deliver ^H5414 them over before ^H6440 their enemies, ^H341 and they carry them away captives ^H7617 ^H7617 unto ^H413 a land ^H776 far off ^H7350 or ^H176 near; ^H7138

37 Yet if they bethink themselves ^H7725 ^H413 ^H3824 in the land ^H776 whither ^H834 ^H8033 they are carried captive, ^H7617 and turn ^H7725 and pray ^H2603 unto ^H413 thee in the land ^H776 of their captivity, ^H7628 saying, ^H559 We have sinned, ^H2398 we have done amiss, ^H5753 and have dealt wickedly; ^H7561

38 If they return ^H7725 to ^H413 thee with all ^H3605 their heart ^H3820 and with all ^H3605 their soul ^H5315 in the land ^H776 of their captivity, ^H7628 whither ^H834 they have carried them captives ^H7617 ^H853 , and pray ^H6419 toward ^H1870 their land, ^H776 which ^H834 thou gavest ^H5414 unto their fathers, ^H1 and toward the city ^H5892 which ^H834 thou hast chosen, ^H977 and toward the house ^H1004 which ^H834 I have built ^H1129 for thy name: ^H8034

39 Then hear ^H8085 thou from ^H4480 the heavens, ^H8064 even from thy dwelling ^H3427 place ^H4480 ^H4349 , ^H853 their prayer ^H8605 and their supplications, ^H8467 and maintain ^H6213 their cause, ^H4941 and forgive ^H5545 thy people ^H5971 which ^H834 have sinned ^H2398 against thee.

40 Now ^H6258 , my God, ^H430 let , I beseech thee, ^H4994 thine eyes ^H5869 be ^H1961 open, ^H6605 and let thine ears ^H241 be attent ^H7183 unto the prayer ^H8605 that is made in this ^H2088 place. ^H4725

41 Now ^H6258 therefore arise, ^H6965 O LORD ^H3068 God, ^H430 into thy resting place, ^H5118 thou, ^H859 and the ark ^H727 of thy strength: ^H5797 let thy priests, ^H3548 O LORD ^H3068 God, ^H430 be clothed ^H3847 with salvation, ^H8668 and let thy saints ^H2623 rejoice ^H8055 in goodness. ^H2896

42 O LORD ^H3068 God, ^H430 turn not away ^H7725 ^H408 the face ^H6440 of thine anointed: ^H4899 remember ^H2142 the mercies ^H2617 of David ^H1732 thy servant. ^H5650
