And it came to pass in the four

which [is] the second

<02320>_,

that he began to build
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>

<03068>_.

{began...: Heb. built}

And the house
<01004>

which king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

built
<01129> (8804)

for the LORD
<03068>_,

the length
<0753>

<08346>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

<06242>

And the porch

twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the length
<0753>

thereof, according to the breadth

of the house
<01004>_;

[and] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the breadth
<07341>

thereof before the house
<01004>_.

6:4

And for the house
<01004>

he made
<06213> (8799)

windows
<02474>

of narrow
<0331> (8801)

lights
<08261>_.

{of...: or, broad within, and narrow without: or, skewed and closed}

6:5

And against the wall
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

he built
<01129> (8799)

chambers
<03326> (8675) <03326>

round about
<05439>_,

[against] the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

round about
<05439>_,

[both] of the temple
<01964>

and of the oracle
<01687>_:

and he made
<06213> (8799)

chambers
<06763>

round about
<05439>_:

{against the wall: or, upon, or, joining to the wall} {built chambers: Heb. built floors} {made chambers: Heb. made ribs}

6:6

The nethermost
<08481>

chamber
<03326> (8675) <03326>

[was] five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_,

and the middle
<08484>

[was] six
<08337>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_,

and the third
<07992>

[was] seven
<07651>

cubits
<0520>

broad
<07341>_:

for without [in the wall] of
<02351>

the house
<01004>

he made
<05414> (8804)

narrowed rests
<04052>

round about
<05439>_,

that [the beams] should not be fastened
<0270> (8800)

in the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>_.

{narrowed...: Heb. narrowings, or, rebatements}

6:7

And the house
<01004>_,

when it was in building
<01129> (8736)_,

was built
<01129> (8738)

of stone
<068>

made ready
<08003>

before it was brought
<04551>

thither: so that there was neither hammer
<04717>

nor axe
<01631>

[nor] any tool
<03627>

of iron
<01270>

heard
<08085> (8738)

in the house
<01004>_,

while it was in building
<01129> (8736)_.

6:8

The door
<06607>

for the middle
<08484>

chamber
<06763>

[was] in the right
<03233>

side
<03802>

of the house
<01004>_:

and they went up
<05927> (8799)

with winding stairs
<03883>

into the middle
<08484>

[chamber], and out of the middle
<08484>

into the third
<07992>_.

{side: Heb. shoulder}

6:9

So he built
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_,

and finished
<03615> (8762)

it; and covered
<05603> (8799)

the house
<01004>

with beams
<01356>

and boards
<07713>

of cedar
<0730>_.

{with...: or, the vaultbeams and the panellings with cedar}

6:10

And [then] he built
<01129> (8799)

chambers
<03326> (8675) <03326>

against all the house
<01004>_,

five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

high
<06967>_:

and they rested
<0270> (8799)

on the house
<01004>

[with] timber
<06086>

of cedar
<0730>_.

6:11

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Solomon
<08010>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

6:12

[Concerning] this house
<01004>

which thou art in building
<01129> (8802)_,

if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)

in my statutes
<02708>_,

and execute
<06213> (8799)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and keep
<08104> (8804)

all my commandments
<04687>

to walk
<03212> (8800)

in them; then will I perform
<06965> (8689)

my word
<01697>

with thee, which I spake
<01696> (8765)

unto David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_:

6:13

And I will dwell
<07931> (8804)

among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and will not forsake
<05800> (8799)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

6:14

So Solomon
<08010>

built
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_,

and finished
<03615> (8762)

it.

6:15

And he built
<01129> (8799)

the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

within
<01004>

with boards
<06763>

of cedar
<0730>_,

both the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>_,

and the walls
<07023>

of the cieling
<05604>_:

[and] he covered
<06823> (8765)

[them] on the inside
<01004>

with wood
<06086>_,

and covered
<06823> (8762)

the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>

with planks
<06763>

of fir
<01265>_.

{both...: or, from the floor of the house unto the walls, etc}

6:16

And he built
<01129> (8799)

twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

on the sides
<03411>

of the house
<01004>_,

both
<04480>

the floor
<07172>

and the walls
<07023>

with boards
<06763>

of cedar
<0730>_:

he even built
<01129> (8799)

[them] for it within
<01004>_,

[even] for the oracle
<01687>_,

[even] for the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

[place].

6:17

And the house
<01004>_,

that [is], the temple
<01964>

before
<03942>

it, was forty
<0705>

cubits
<0520>

[long].

6:18

And the cedar
<0730>

of the house
<01004>

within
<06441>

[was] carved
<04734>

with knops
<06497>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_:

all [was] cedar
<0730>_;

there was no stone
<068>

seen
<07200> (8738)_.

{knops: or, gourds} {open: Heb. openings of}

6:19

And the oracle
<01687>

he prepared
<03559> (8689)

in
<08432>

the house
<01004>

within
<06441>_,

to set
<05414> (8800)

there the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

6:20

And the oracle
<01687>

in the forepart
<06440>

[was] twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in length
<0753>_,

and twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in breadth
<07341>_,

and twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

in the height
<06967>

thereof: and he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_;

and [so] covered
<06823> (8762)

the altar
<04196>

[which was of] cedar
<0730>_.

{pure: Heb. shut up}

6:21

So Solomon
<08010>

overlaid
<06823> (8762)

the house
<01004>

within
<06441>

with pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_:

and he made a partition
<05674> (8762)

by the chains
<07572> (8675) <07572>

of gold
<02091>

before
<06440>

the oracle
<01687>_;

and he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with gold
<02091>_.

6:22

And the whole house
<01004>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_,

until he had finished
<08552> (8800)

all the house
<01004>_:

also the whole altar
<04196>

that [was] by the oracle
<01687>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_.

6:23

And within the oracle
<01687>

he made
<06213> (8799)

two
<08147>

cherubims
<03742>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_,

[each] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>

high
<06967>_.

{olive: or, oily: Heb. trees of oil}

6:24

And five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

[was] the one
<0259>

wing
<03671>

of the cherub
<03742>_,

and five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

the other
<08145>

wing
<03671>

of the cherub
<03742>_:

from the uttermost part
<07098>

of the one wing
<03671>

unto the uttermost part
<07098>

of the other
<03671>

[were] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_.

6:25

And the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>

[was] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_:

both
<08147>

the cherubims
<03742>

[were] of one
<0259>

measure
<04060>

and one
<0259>

size
<07095>_.

6:26

The height
<06967>

of the one
<0259>

cherub
<03742>

[was] ten
<06235>

cubits
<0520>_,

and so [was it] of the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>_.

6:27

And he set
<05414> (8799)

the cherubims
<03742>

within
<08432>

the inner
<06442>

house
<01004>_:

and they stretched forth
<06566> (8799)

the wings
<03671>

of the cherubims
<03742>_,

so that the wing
<03671>

of the one
<0259>

touched
<05060> (8799)

the [one] wall
<07023>_,

and the wing
<03671>

of the other
<08145>

cherub
<03742>

touched
<05060> (8802)

the other
<08145>

wall
<07023>_;

and their wings
<03671>

touched
<05060> (8802)

one
<03671>

another
<03671>

in the midst
<08432>

of the house
<01004>_.

{they...: or, the cherubims stretched forth their wings}

6:28

And he overlaid
<06823> (8762)

the cherubims
<03742>

with gold
<02091>_.

6:29

And he carved
<07049> (8804)

all the walls
<07023>

of the house
<01004>

round about
<04524>

with carved
<06603>

figures
<04734>

of cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_,

within
<06441>

and without
<02435>_.

{open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers}

6:30

And the floor
<07172>

of the house
<01004>

he overlaid
<06823> (8765)

with gold
<02091>_,

within
<06441>

and without
<02435>_.

6:31

And for the entering
<06607>

of the oracle
<01687>

he made
<06213> (8804)

doors
<01817>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_:

the lintel
<0352>

[and] side posts
<04201>

[were] a fifth part
<02549>

[of the wall]. {a fifth...: or, fivesquare}

6:32

The two
<08147>

doors
<01817>

also [were of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_;

and he carved
<07049> (8804)

upon them carvings
<04734>

of cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_,

and overlaid
<06823> (8765)

[them] with gold
<02091>_,

and spread
<07286> (8686)

gold
<02091>

upon the cherubims
<03742>_,

and upon the palm trees
<08561>_.

{two...: or, leaves of the doors} {open flowers: Heb. openings of flowers}

6:33

So also made
<06213> (8804)

he for the door
<06607>

of the temple
<01964>

posts
<04201>

[of] olive
<08081>

tree
<06086>_,

a fourth part
<07243>

[of the wall]. {a fourth...: or, foursquare}

6:34

And the two
<08147>

doors
<01817>

[were of] fir
<01265>

tree
<06086>_:

the two
<08147>

leaves
<06763>

of the one
<0259>

door
<01817>

[were] folding
<01550>_,

and the two
<08147>

leaves
<07050>

of the other
<08145>

door
<01817>

[were] folding
<01550>_.

6:35

And he carved
<07049> (8804)

[thereon] cherubims
<03742>

and palm trees
<08561>

and open
<06362> (8803)

flowers
<06731>_:

and covered
<06823> (8765)

[them] with gold
<02091>

fitted
<03474> (8794)

upon the carved work
<02707> (8794)_.

6:36

And he built
<01129> (8799)

the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

with three
<07969>

rows
<02905>

of hewed stone
<01496>_,

and a row
<02905>

of cedar
<0730>

beams
<03773>_.

6:37

In the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

was the foundation
<03245> (0)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

laid
<03245> (8795)_,

in the month
<03391>

Zif
<02099>_:

6:38

And in the eleventh
<0259> <06240>

year
<08141>_,

in the month
<03391>

Bul
<0945>_,

which [is] the eighth
<08066>

month
<02320>_,

was the house
<01004>

finished
<03615> (8804)

throughout all the parts
<01697>

thereof, and according to all the fashion
<04941>

of it. So was he seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

in building
<01129> (8799)

it. {through out...: or, with all the parts thereof, and with all the ordinances thereof}

1 Kings 8:1-66

8:1

Then Solomon
<08010>

assembled
<06950> (8686)

the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and all the heads
<07218>

of the tribes
<04294>_,

the chief
<05387>

of the fathers
<01>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

unto king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

that they might bring up
<05927> (8687)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

out of the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

which [is] Zion
<06726>_.

{chief: Heb. princes}

8:2

And all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

assembled
<06950> (8735)

themselves unto king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

at the feast
<02282>

in the month
<03391>

Ethanim
<0388>_,

which [is] the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>_.

8:3

And all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and the priests
<03548>

took up
<05375> (8799)

the ark
<0727>_.

8:4

And they brought up
<05927> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the tabernacle
<0168>

of the congregation
<04150>_,

and all the holy
<06944>

vessels
<03627>

that [were] in the tabernacle
<0168>_,

even those did the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

bring up
<05927> (8686)_.

8:5

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

and all the congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that were assembled
<03259> (8737)

unto him, [were] with him before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>_,

sacrificing
<02076> (8764)

sheep
<06629>

and oxen
<01241>_,

that could not be told
<05608> (8735)

nor numbered
<04487> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

8:6

And the priests
<03548>

brought in
<0935> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto his place
<04725>_,

into the oracle
<01687>

of the house
<01004>_,

to the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

[place, even] under the wings
<03671>

of the cherubims
<03742>_.

8:7

For the cherubims
<03742>

spread forth
<06566> (8802)

[their] two wings
<03671>

over the place
<04725>

of the ark
<0727>_,

and the cherubims
<03742>

covered
<05526> (8799)

the ark
<0727>

and the staves
<0905>

thereof above
<04605>_.

8:8

And they drew out
<0748> (8686)

the staves
<0905>_,

that the ends
<07218>

of the staves
<0905>

were seen out
<07200> (8735)

in the holy
<06944>

[place] before
<06440>

the oracle
<01687>_,

and they were not seen
<07200> (8735)

without
<02351>_:

and there they are unto this day
<03117>_.

{ends: Heb. heads} {holy...: or, ark}

8:9

[There was] nothing in the ark
<0727>

save
<07535>

the two
<08147>

tables
<03871>

of stone
<068>_,

which Moses
<04872>

put
<03240> (8689)

there at Horeb
<02722>_,

when the LORD
<03068>

made
<03772> (8804)

[a covenant] with the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

when they came out
<03318> (8800)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{when the: or, where the}

8:10

And it came to pass, when the priests
<03548>

were come out
<03318> (8800)

of the holy
<06944>

[place], that the cloud
<06051>

filled
<04390> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

8:11

So that the priests
<03548>

could
<03201> (8804)

not stand
<05975> (8800)

to minister
<08334> (8763)

because
<06440>

of the cloud
<06051>_:

for the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

had filled
<04390> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:12

Then spake
<0559> (8804)

Solomon
<08010>_,

The LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

that he would dwell
<07931> (8800)

in the thick darkness
<06205>_.

8:13

I have surely
<01129> (8800)

built
<01129> (8804)

thee an house
<01004>

to dwell in
<02073>_,

a settled place
<04349>

for thee to abide in
<03427> (8800)

for ever
<05769>_.

8:14

And the king
<04428>

turned
<05437> (0)

his face
<06440>

about
<05437> (8686)_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>_:

(and all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>

stood
<05975> (8802);)

8:15

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which spake
<01696> (8765)

with his mouth
<06310>

unto David
<01732>

my father
<01>_,

and hath with his hand
<03027>

fulfilled
<04390> (8765)

[it], saying
<0559> (8800)_,

8:16

Since the day
<03117>

that I brought forth
<03318> (8689)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

I chose
<0977> (8804)

no city
<05892>

out of all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>_,

that my name
<08034>

might be therein; but I chose
<0977> (8799)

David
<01732>

to be over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

8:17

And it was in the heart
<03824>

of David
<01732>

my father
<01>

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

for the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

8:18

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>

my father
<01>_,

Whereas
<03282> <0834>

it was in thine heart
<03824>

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

unto my name
<08034>_,

thou didst well
<02895> (8689)

that it was in thine heart
<03824>_.

8:19

Nevertheless
<07535>

thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_;

but thy son
<01121>

that shall come forth out
<03318> (8802)

of thy loins
<02504>_,

he shall build
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>

unto my name
<08034>_.

8:20

And the LORD
<03068>

hath performed
<06965> (8686)

his word
<01697>

that he spake
<01696> (8765)_,

and I am risen up
<06965> (8799)

in the room of David
<01732>

my father
<01>_,

and sit
<03427> (8799)

on the throne
<03678>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

promised
<01696> (8765)_,

and have built
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

for the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

8:21

And I have set
<07760> (8799)

there a place
<04725>

for the ark
<0727>_,

wherein [is] the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he made
<03772> (8804)

with our fathers
<01>_,

when he brought them out
<03318> (8687)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

8:22

And Solomon
<08010>

stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

in the presence of
<05048>

all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and spread forth
<06566> (8799)

his hands
<03709>

toward heaven
<08064>_:

8:23

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[there is] no God
<0430>

like thee, in heaven
<08064>

above
<04605>_,

or on earth
<0776>

beneath, who keepest
<08104> (8802)

covenant
<01285>

and mercy
<02617>

with thy servants
<05650>

that walk
<01980> (8802)

before
<06440>

thee with all their heart
<03820>_:

8:24

Who hast kept
<08104> (8804)

with thy servant
<05650>

David
<01732>

my father
<01>

that thou promisedst
<01696> (8765)

him: thou spakest
<01696> (8762)

also with thy mouth
<06310>_,

and hast fulfilled
<04390> (8765)

[it] with thine hand
<03027>_,

as [it is] this day
<03117>_.

8:25

Therefore now, LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

keep
<08104> (8798)

with thy servant
<05650>

David
<01732>

my father
<01>

that thou promisedst
<01696> (8765)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

There shall not fail
<03772> (8735)

thee a man
<0376>

in my sight
<06440>

to sit
<03427> (8802)

on the throne
<03678>

of Israel
<03478>_;

so
<07535>

that thy children
<01121>

take heed
<08104> (8799)

to their way
<01870>_,

that they walk
<03212> (8800)

before
<06440>

me as thou hast walked
<01980> (8804)

before
<06440>

me. {fail...: Heb. be cut off unto thee a man from my sight} {so that: Heb. only if}

8:26

And now, O God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

let thy word
<01697>_,

I pray thee, be verified
<0539> (8735)_,

which thou spakest
<01696> (8765)

unto thy servant
<05650>

David
<01732>

my father
<01>_.

8:27

But will God
<0430>

indeed
<0552>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

on the earth
<0776>_?

behold, the heaven
<08064>

and heaven
<08064>

of heavens
<08064>

cannot contain
<03557> (8770)

thee; how much less
<0637>

this house
<01004>

that I have builded
<01129> (8804)_?

8:28

Yet have thou respect
<06437> (8804)

unto the prayer
<08605>

of thy servant
<05650>_,

and to his supplication
<08467>_,

O LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

to hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto the cry
<07440>

and to the prayer
<08605>_,

which thy servant
<05650>

prayeth
<06419> (8693)

before
<06440>

thee to day
<03117>_:

8:29

That thine eyes
<05869>

may be open
<06605> (8803)

toward this house
<01004>

night
<03915>

and day
<03117>_,

[even] toward the place
<04725>

of which thou hast said
<0559> (8804)_,

My name
<08034>

shall be there: that thou mayest hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto the prayer
<08605>

which thy servant
<05650>

shall make
<06419> (8691)

toward this place
<04725>_.

{toward this place: or, in this place}

8:30

And hearken
<08085> (8804)

thou to the supplication
<08467>

of thy servant
<05650>_,

and of thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

when they shall pray
<06419> (8691)

toward this place
<04725>_:

and hear
<08085> (8799)

thou in heaven
<08064>

thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)

place
<04725>_:

and when thou hearest
<08085> (8804)_,

forgive
<05545> (8804)_.

{toward this place: or, in this place}

8:31

If any man
<0376>

trespass
<02398> (8799)

against his neighbour
<07453>_,

and an oath
<0423>

be laid
<05375> (8804)

upon him to cause him to swear
<0422> (8687)_,

and the oath
<0423>

come
<0935> (8804)

before
<06440>

thine altar
<04196>

in this house
<01004>_:

{and an oath...: Heb. and he require an oath of him}

8:32

Then hear
<08085> (8799)

thou in heaven
<08064>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)_,

and judge
<08199> (8804)

thy servants
<05650>_,

condemning
<07561> (8687)

the wicked
<07563>_,

to bring
<05414> (8800)

his way
<01870>

upon his head
<07218>_;

and justifying
<06663> (8687)

the righteous
<06662>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

him according to his righteousness
<06666>_.

8:33

When thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

be smitten down
<05062> (8736)

before
<06440>

the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

because they have sinned
<02398> (8799)

against thee, and shall turn again
<07725> (8804)

to thee, and confess
<03034> (8689)

thy name
<08034>_,

and pray
<06419> (8694)_,

and make supplication
<02603> (8694)

unto thee in this house
<01004>_:

{in: or, toward}

8:34

Then hear
<08085> (8799)

thou in heaven
<08064>_,

and forgive
<05545> (8804)

the sin
<02403>

of thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and bring them again
<07725> (8689)

unto the land
<0127>

which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

unto their fathers
<01>_.

8:35

When heaven
<08064>

is shut up
<06113> (8736)_,

and there is no rain
<04306>_,

because they have sinned
<02398> (8799)

against thee; if they pray
<06419> (8694)

toward this place
<04725>_,

and confess
<03034> (8689)

thy name
<08034>_,

and turn
<07725> (8799)

from their sin
<02403>_,

when thou afflictest
<06031> (8686)

them:

8:36

Then hear
<08085> (8799)

thou in heaven
<08064>_,

and forgive
<05545> (8804)

the sin
<02403>

of thy servants
<05650>_,

and of thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

that thou teach
<03384> (8686)

them the good
<02896>

way
<01870>

wherein they should walk
<03212> (8799)_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

rain
<04306>

upon thy land
<0776>_,

which thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

to thy people
<05971>

for an inheritance
<05159>_.

8:37

If there be in the land
<0776>

famine
<07458>_,

if there be pestilence
<01698>_,

blasting
<07711>_,

mildew
<03420>_,

locust
<0697>_,

[or] if there be caterpiller
<02625>_;

if their enemy
<0341> (8802)

besiege
<06887> (8686)

them in the land
<0776>

of their cities
<08179>_;

whatsoever plague
<05061>_,

whatsoever sickness
<04245>

[there be]; {cities: or, jurisdiction}

8:38

What prayer
<08605>

and supplication
<08467>

soever be [made] by any man
<0120>_,

[or] by all thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

which shall know
<03045> (8799)

every man
<0376>

the plague
<05061>

of his own heart
<03824>_,

and spread forth
<06566> (8804)

his hands
<03709>

toward this house
<01004>_:

8:39

Then hear
<08085> (8799)

thou in heaven
<08064>

thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)

place
<04349>_,

and forgive
<05545> (8804)_,

and do
<06213> (8804)_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

to every man
<0376>

according to his ways
<01870>_,

whose heart
<03824>

thou knowest
<03045> (8799)_;

(for thou, [even] thou only, knowest
<03045> (8804)

the hearts
<03824>

of all the children
<01121>

of men
<0120>;)

8:40

That they may fear
<03372> (8799)

thee all the days
<03117>

that they live
<02416>

in
<06440>

the land
<0127>

which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

unto our fathers
<01>_.

8:41

Moreover concerning a stranger
<05237>_,

that [is] not of thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

but cometh out
<0935> (8804)

of a far
<07350>

country
<0776>

for
<04616>

thy name's
<08034>

sake;

8:42

(For they shall hear
<08085> (8799)

of thy great
<01419>

name
<08034>_,

and of thy strong
<02389>

hand
<03027>_,

and of thy stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>;)

when he shall come
<0935> (8804)

and pray
<06419> (8694)

toward this house
<01004>_;

8:43

Hear
<08085> (8799)

thou in heaven
<08064>

thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)

place
<04349>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

according to all that the stranger
<05237>

calleth
<07121> (8799)

to thee for: that all people
<05971>

of the earth
<0776>

may know
<03045> (8799)

thy name
<08034>_,

to fear
<03372> (8800)

thee, as [do] thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_;

and that they may know
<03045> (8800)

that this house
<01004>_,

which I have builded
<01129> (8804)_,

is called
<07121> (8738)

by thy name
<08034>_.

{this...: Heb. thy name is called upon this house}

8:44

If thy people
<05971>

go out
<03318> (8799)

to battle
<04421>

against their enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

whithersoever
<01870>

thou shalt send
<07971> (8799)

them, and shall pray
<06419> (8694)

unto the LORD
<03068>

toward
<01870>

the city
<05892>

which thou hast chosen
<0977> (8804)_,

and [toward] the house
<01004>

that I have built
<01129> (8804)

for thy name
<08034>_:

{toward the city: Heb. the way of the city}

8:45

Then hear
<08085> (8804)

thou in heaven
<08064>

their prayer
<08605>

and their supplication
<08467>_,

and maintain
<06213> (8804)

their cause
<04941>_.

{cause: or, right}

8:46

If they sin
<02398> (8799)

against thee, (for [there is] no man
<0120>

that sinneth
<02398> (8799)

not,) and thou be angry
<0599> (8804)

with them, and deliver
<05414> (8804)

them to the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

so that they carry them away
<07617> (8804)

captives
<07617> (8802)

unto
<06440>

the land
<0776>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

far
<07350>

or near
<07138>_;

8:47

[Yet] if they shall bethink
<07725> (8689)

themselves in the land
<0776>

whither they were carried captives
<07617> (8738)_,

and repent
<07725> (8804) <03820>_,

and make supplication
<02603> (8694)

unto thee in the land
<0776>

of them that carried them captives
<07617> (8802)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and have done perversely
<05753> (8689)_,

we have committed wickedness
<07561> (8804)_;

{bethink...: Heb. bring back to their heart}

8:48

And [so] return
<07725> (8804)

unto thee with all their heart
<03824>_,

and with all their soul
<05315>_,

in the land
<0776>

of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

which led them away captive
<07617> (8804)_,

and pray
<06419> (8694)

unto thee toward
<01870>

their land
<0776>_,

which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)

unto their fathers
<01>_,

the city
<05892>

which thou hast chosen
<0977> (8804)_,

and the house
<01004>

which I have built
<01129> (8804)

for thy name
<08034>_:

8:49

Then hear
<08085> (8804)

thou their prayer
<08605>

and their supplication
<08467>

in heaven
<08064>

thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)

place
<04349>_,

and maintain
<06213> (8804)

their cause
<04941>_,

{cause: or, right}

8:50

And forgive
<05545> (8804)

thy people
<05971>

that have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee, and all their transgressions
<06588>

wherein they have transgressed
<06586> (8804)

against thee, and give
<05414> (8804)

them compassion
<07356>

before
<06440>

them who carried them captive
<07617> (8802)_,

that they may have compassion
<07355> (8765)

on them:

8:51

For they [be] thy people
<05971>_,

and thine inheritance
<05159>_,

which thou broughtest forth
<03318> (8689)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

from the midst
<08432>

of the furnace
<03564>

of iron
<01270>_:

8:52

That thine eyes
<05869>

may be open
<06605> (8803)

unto the supplication
<08467>

of thy servant
<05650>_,

and unto the supplication
<08467>

of thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

to hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto them in all that they call
<07121> (8800)

for unto thee.

8:53

For thou didst separate
<0914> (8689)

them from among all the people
<05971>

of the earth
<0776>_,

[to be] thine inheritance
<05159>_,

as thou spakest
<01696> (8765)

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>

thy servant
<05650>_,

when thou broughtest
<03318> (8687)

our fathers
<01>

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

8:54

And it was [so], that when Solomon
<08010>

had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of praying
<06419> (8692)

all this prayer
<08605>

and supplication
<08467>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

he arose
<06965> (8804)

from before
<06440>

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

from kneeling
<03766> (8800)

on his knees
<01290>

with his hands
<03709>

spread up
<06566> (8803)

to heaven
<08064>_.

8:55

And he stood
<05975> (8799)_,

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>

with a loud
<01419>

voice
<06963>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

8:56

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>_,

that hath given
<05414> (8804)

rest
<04496>

unto his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

according to all that he promised
<01696> (8765)_:

there hath not failed
<05307> (8804)

one
<0259>

word
<01697>

of all his good
<02896>

promise
<01697>_,

which he promised
<01696> (8765)

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>

his servant
<05650>_.

{failed: Heb. fallen}

8:57

The LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

be with us, as he was with our fathers
<01>_:

let him not leave
<05800> (8799)

us, nor forsake
<05203> (8799)

us:

8:58

That he may incline
<05186> (8687)

our hearts
<03824>

unto him, to walk
<03212> (8800)

in all his ways
<01870>_,

and to keep
<08104> (8800)

his commandments
<04687>_,

and his statutes
<02706>_,

and his judgments
<04941>_,

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

our fathers
<01>_.

8:59

And let these my words
<01697>_,

wherewith I have made supplication
<02603> (8694)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

be nigh
<07138>

unto the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

day
<03119>

and night
<03915>_,

that he maintain
<06213> (8800)

the cause
<04941>

of his servant
<05650>_,

and the cause
<04941>

of his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

at all times
<03117> <03117>_,

as the matter
<01697>

shall require: {at all...: Heb. the thing of a day in his day}

8:60

That all the people
<05971>

of the earth
<0776>

may know
<03045> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

[is] God
<0430>_,

[and that there is] none else.

8:61

Let your heart
<03824>

therefore be perfect
<08003>

with the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

to walk
<03212> (8800)

in his statutes
<02706>_,

and to keep
<08104> (8800)

his commandments
<04687>_,

as at this day
<03117>_.

8:62

And the king
<04428>_,

and all Israel
<03478>

with him, offered
<02076> (8802)

sacrifice
<02077>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

8:63

And Solomon
<08010>

offered
<02076> (8799)

a sacrifice
<02077>

of peace offerings
<08002>_,

which he offered
<02076> (8804)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

two
<08147>

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

oxen
<01241>_,

and an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_.

So the king
<04428>

and all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

dedicated
<02596> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:64

The same day
<03117>

did the king
<04428>

hallow
<06942> (8765)

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 meat offerings
<04503>_,

and the fat
<02459>

of the peace offerings
<08002>_:

because the brasen
<05178>

altar
<04196>

that [was] before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

[was] too little
<06996>

to receive
<03557> (8687)

the burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and meat offerings
<04503>_,

and the fat
<02459>

of the peace offerings
<08002>_.

8:65

And at that time
<06256>

Solomon
<08010>

held
<06213> (8799)

a feast
<02282>_,

and all Israel
<03478>

with him, a great
<01419>

congregation
<06951>_,

from the entering
<0935> (8800)

in of Hamath
<02574>

unto the river
<05158>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

and seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

[even] fourteen
<0702> <06240>

days
<03117>_.

8:66

On the eighth
<08066>

day
<03117>

he sent
<07971> (0)

the people
<05971>

away
<07971> (8765)_:

and they blessed
<01288> (8762)

the king
<04428>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

unto their tents
<0168>

joyful
<08056>

and glad
<02896>

of heart
<03820>

for all the goodness
<02896>

that the LORD
<03068>

had done
<06213> (8804)

for David
<01732>

his servant
<05650>_,

and for Israel
<03478>

his people
<05971>_.

{blessed: or, thanked}

1 Kings 15:1-34

15:1

Now in the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

Abijam
<038>

over Judah
<03063>_.

15:2

Three
<07969>

years
<08141>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

he in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Maachah
<04601>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Abishalom
<053>_.

{Maachah...: also called, Michaiah the daughter of Uriel} {Abishalom: also called, Absalom}

15:3

And he walked
<03212> (8799)

in all the sins
<02403>

of his father
<01>_,

which he had done
<06213> (8804)

before
<06440>

him: and his heart
<03824>

was not perfect
<08003>

with the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

as the heart
<03824>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_.

15:4

Nevertheless for David's
<01732>

sake did the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>

give
<05414> (8804)

him a lamp
<05216>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to set up
<06965> (8687)

his son
<01121>

after
<0310>

him, and to establish
<05975> (8687)

Jerusalem
<03389>_:

{lamp: or, candle}

15:5

Because David
<01732>

did
<06213> (8804)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and turned not aside
<05493> (8804)

from any [thing] that he commanded
<06680> (8765)

him all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_,

save only in the matter
<01697>

of Uriah
<0223>

the Hittite
<02850>_.

15:6

And there was war
<04421>

between Rehoboam
<07346>

and Jeroboam
<03379>

all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_.

15:7

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Abijam
<038>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

And there was war
<04421>

between Abijam
<038>

and Jeroboam
<03379>_.

15:8

And Abijam
<038>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_;

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

and Asa
<0609>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

15:9

And in the twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

Asa
<0609>

over Judah
<03063>_.

15:10

And forty
<0705>

and one
<0259>

years
<08141>

reigned
<04427> (8804)

he in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Maachah
<04601>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Abishalom
<053>_.

{mother's: that is, grandmother's}

15:11

And Asa
<0609>

did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as [did] David
<01732>

his father
<01>_.

15:12

And he took away
<05674> (8686)

the sodomites
<06945>

out of the land
<0776>_,

and removed
<05493> (8686)

all the idols
<01544>

that his fathers
<01>

had made
<06213> (8804)_.

15:13

And also Maachah
<04601>

his mother
<0517>_,

even her he removed
<05493> (8686)

from [being] queen
<01377>_,

because she had made
<06213> (8804)

an idol
<04656>

in a grove
<0842>_;

and Asa
<0609>

destroyed
<03772> (8799)

her idol
<04656>_,

and burnt
<08313> (8799)

[it] by the brook
<05158>

Kidron
<06939>_.

{destroyed: Heb. cut off}

15:14

But the high places
<01116>

were not removed
<05493> (8804)_:

nevertheless Asa's
<0609>

heart
<03824>

was perfect
<08003>

with the LORD
<03068>

all his days
<03117>_.

15:15

And he brought
<0935> (8686)

in the things
<06944> (0)

which his father
<01>

had dedicated
<06944>_,

and the things which himself had dedicated
<06944>_,

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

silver
<03701>_,

and gold
<02091>_,

and vessels
<03627>_.

{things: Heb. holy}

15:16

And there was war
<04421>

between Asa
<0609>

and Baasha
<01201>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

all their days
<03117>_.

15:17

And Baasha
<01201>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

went up
<05927> (8799)

against Judah
<03063>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

Ramah
<07414>_,

that he might not suffer
<05414> (8800)

any to go out
<03318> (8802)

or come in
<0935> (8802)

to Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_.

15:18

Then Asa
<0609>

took
<03947> (8799)

all the silver
<03701>

and the gold
<02091>

[that were] left
<03498> (8737)

in the treasures
<0214>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the treasures
<0214>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>_:

and king
<04428>

Asa
<0609>

sent
<07971> (8799)

them to Benhadad
<01130>_,

the son
<01121>

of Tabrimon
<02886>_,

the son
<01121>

of Hezion
<02383>_,

king
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

at Damascus
<01834>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

15:19

[There is] a league
<01285>

between me and thee, [and] between my father
<01>

and thy father
<01>_:

behold, I have sent
<07971> (8804)

unto thee a present
<07810>

of silver
<03701>

and gold
<02091>_;

come
<03212> (8798)

and break
<06565> (8685)

thy league
<01285>

with Baasha
<01201>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that he may depart
<05927> (8799)

from me. {depart: Heb. go up}

15:20

So Benhadad
<01130>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto king
<04428>

Asa
<0609>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

the captains
<08269>

of the hosts
<02428>

which he had against the cities
<05892>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

Ijon
<05859>_,

and Dan
<01835>_,

and Abelbethmaachah
<062>_,

and all Cinneroth
<03672>_,

with all the land
<0776>

of Naphtali
<05321>_.

15:21

And it came to pass, when Baasha
<01201>

heard
<08085> (8800)

[thereof], that he left off
<02308> (8799)

building
<01129> (8800)

of Ramah
<07414>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Tirzah
<08656>_.

15:22

Then king
<04428>

Asa
<0609>

made a proclamation
<08085> (8689)

throughout all Judah
<03063>_;

none [was] exempted
<05355>_:

and they took
<05375> (8799)

away the stones
<068>

of Ramah
<07414>_,

and the timber
<06086>

thereof, wherewith Baasha
<01201>

had builded
<01129> (8804)_;

and king
<04428>

Asa
<0609>

built
<01129> (8799)

with them Geba
<01387>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

and Mizpah
<04709>_.

{exempted: Heb. free}

15:23

The rest
<03499>

of all the acts
<01697>

of Asa
<0609>_,

and all his might
<01369>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

and the cities
<05892>

which he built
<01129> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_?

Nevertheless in the time
<06256>

of his old age
<02209>

he was diseased
<02470> (8804)

in his feet
<07272>_.

15:24

And Asa
<0609>

slept
<07901> (8799)

with his fathers
<01>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

with his fathers
<01>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

his father
<01>_:

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead. {Jehoshaphat: Gr. Josaphat}

15:25

And Nadab
<05070>

the son
<01121>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in the second
<08147>

year
<08141>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and reigned
<04427> (8799)

over Israel
<03478>

two
<08147>

years
<08141>_.

{began...: Heb. reigned}

15:26

And he did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of his father
<01>_,

and in his sin
<02403>

wherewith he made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

15:27

And Baasha
<01201>

the son
<01121>

of Ahijah
<0281>_,

of the house
<01004>

of Issachar
<03485>_,

conspired
<07194> (8799)

against him; and Baasha
<01201>

smote
<05221> (8686)

him at Gibbethon
<01405>_,

which [belonged] to the Philistines
<06430>_;

for Nadab
<05070>

and all Israel
<03478>

laid siege
<06696> (8802)

to Gibbethon
<01405>_.

15:28

Even in the third
<07969>

year
<08141>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

did Baasha
<01201>

slay
<04191> (8686)

him, and reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

15:29

And it came to pass, when he reigned
<04427> (8800)_,

[that] he smote
<05221> (8689)

all the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_;

he left
<07604> (8689)

not to Jeroboam
<03379>

any that breathed
<05397>_,

until he had destroyed
<08045> (8689)

him, according unto the saying
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

his servant
<05650>

Ahijah
<0281>

the Shilonite
<07888>_:

15:30

Because of the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

which he sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and which he made Israel
<03478>

sin
<02398> (8689)_,

by his provocation
<03708>

wherewith he provoked the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

to anger
<03707> (8689)_.

15:31

Now the rest
<03499>

of the acts
<01697>

of Nadab
<05070>_,

and all that he did
<06213> (8804)_,

[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_?

15:32

And there was war
<04421>

between Asa
<0609>

and Baasha
<01201>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

all their days
<03117>_.

15:33

In the third
<07969>

year
<08141>

of Asa
<0609>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

began Baasha
<01201>

the son
<01121>

of Ahijah
<0281>

to reign
<04427> (8804)

over all Israel
<03478>

in Tirzah
<08656>_,

twenty
<06242>

and four
<0702>

years
<08141>_.

15:34

And he did
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and walked
<03212> (8799)

in the way
<01870>

of Jeroboam
<03379>_,

and in his sin
<02403>

wherewith he made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_.

1 Kings 1:1-53

1:1

Now king
<04428>

David
<01732>

was old
<02204> (8804)

[and] stricken
<0935> (8804)

in years
<03117>_;

and they covered
<03680> (8762)

him with clothes
<0899>_,

but he gat no heat
<03179> (8799)_.

{stricken...: Heb. entered into days}

1:2

Wherefore his servants
<05650>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let there be sought
<01245> (8762)

for my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

a young
<05291>

virgin
<01330>_:

and let her stand
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and let her cherish
<05532> (8802)

him, and let her lie
<07901> (8804)

in thy bosom
<02436>_,

that my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

may get heat
<02552> (8804)_.

{Let there...: Heb. Let them seek} {a young...: Heb. a damsel, a virgin} {cherish...: Heb. be a cherisher unto him}

1:3

So they sought
<01245> (8762)

for a fair
<03303>

damsel
<05291>

throughout all the coasts
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

Abishag
<049>

a Shunammite
<07767>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

her to the king
<04428>_.

1:4

And the damsel
<05291>

[was] very
<03966>

fair
<03303>_,

and cherished
<05532> (8802)

the king
<04428>_,

and ministered
<08334> (8762)

to him: but the king
<04428>

knew
<03045> (8804)

her not.

1:5

Then Adonijah
<0138>

the son
<01121>

of Haggith
<02294>

exalted
<04984> (8693)

himself, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I will be king
<04427> (8799)_:

and he prepared
<06213> (8799)

him chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<06571>_,

and fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

to run
<07323> (8801)

before
<06440>

him. {be king: Heb. reign}

1:6

And his father
<01>

had not displeased
<06087> (8804)

him at any time
<03117>

in saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why hast thou done so
<06213> (8804)_?

and he also [was a] very
<03966>

goodly
<02896> <08389>

[man]; and [his mother] bare
<03205> (8804)

him after
<0310>

Absalom
<053>_.

{at any...: Heb. from his days}

1:7

And he conferred
<01697>

with Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

and with Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_:

and they following
<0310>

Adonijah
<0138>

helped
<05826> (8799)

[him]. {he...: Heb. his words were with} {following...: Heb. helped after Adonijah}

1:8

But Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Shimei
<08096>_,

and Rei
<07472>_,

and the mighty men
<01368>

which [belonged] to David
<01732>_,

were not with Adonijah
<0138>_.

1:9

And Adonijah
<0138>

slew
<02076> (8799)

sheep
<06629>

and oxen
<01241>

and fat cattle
<04806>

by the stone
<068>

of Zoheleth
<02120>_,

which [is] by
<0681>

Enrogel
<05883>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

all his brethren
<0251>

the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_,

and all the men
<0582>

of Judah
<03063>

the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>_:

{Enrogel: or, the well Rogel}

1:10

But Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>_,

and the mighty men
<01368>_,

and Solomon
<08010>

his brother
<0251>_,

he called
<07121> (8804)

not.

1:11

Wherefore Nathan
<05416>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Bathsheba
<01339>

the mother
<0517>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Hast thou not heard
<08085> (8804)

that Adonijah
<0138>

the son
<01121>

of Haggith
<02294>

doth reign
<04427> (8804)_,

and David
<01732>

our lord
<0113>

knoweth
<03045> (8804)

[it] not?

1:12

Now therefore come
<03212> (8798)_,

let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel
<03289> (8799) <06098>_,

that thou mayest save
<04422> (8761)

thine own life
<05315>_,

and the life
<05315>

of thy son
<01121>

Solomon
<08010>_.

1:13

Go
<03212> (8798)

and get thee in
<0935> (8798)

unto king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto him, Didst not thou, my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

swear
<07650> (8738)

unto thine handmaid
<0519>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Assuredly
<03588>

Solomon
<08010>

thy son
<01121>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

after
<0310>

me, and he shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon my throne
<03678>_?

why then doth Adonijah
<0138>

reign
<04427> (8804)_?

1:14

Behold, while thou yet talkest
<01696> (8764)

there with the king
<04428>_,

I also will come in
<0935> (8799)

after
<0310>

thee, and confirm
<04390> (8765)

thy words
<01697>_.

{confirm: Heb. fill up}

1:15

And Bathsheba
<01339>

went in
<0935> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

into the chamber
<02315>_:

and the king
<04428>

was very
<03966>

old
<02204> (8804)_;

and Abishag
<049>

the Shunammite
<07767>

ministered
<08334> (8764)

unto the king
<04428>_.

1:16

And Bathsheba
<01339>

bowed
<06915> (8799)_,

and did obeisance
<07812> (8691)

unto the king
<04428>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What wouldest thou? {What...: Heb. What to thee?}

1:17

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My lord
<0113>_,

thou swarest
<07650> (8738)

by the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

unto thine handmaid
<0519>_,

[saying], Assuredly Solomon
<08010>

thy son
<01121>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

after
<0310>

me, and he shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon my throne
<03678>_.

1:18

And now, behold, Adonijah
<0138>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)_;

and now, my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

[it] not:

1:19

And he hath slain
<02076> (8799)

oxen
<07794>

and fat cattle
<04806>

and sheep
<06629>

in abundance
<07230>_,

and hath called
<07121> (8799)

all the sons
<01121>

of the king
<04428>_,

and Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Joab
<03097>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>_:

but Solomon
<08010>

thy servant
<05650>

hath he not called
<07121> (8804)_.

1:20

And thou, my lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

the eyes
<05869>

of all Israel
<03478>

[are] upon thee, that thou shouldest tell
<05046> (8687)

them who shall sit
<03427> (8799)

on the throne
<03678>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

after
<0310>

him.

1:21

Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

shall sleep
<07901> (8800)

with his fathers
<01>_,

that I and my son
<01121>

Solomon
<08010>

shall be counted offenders
<02400>_.

{offenders: Heb. sinners}

1:22

And, lo, while she yet talked
<01696> (8764)

with the king
<04428>_,

Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>

also came in
<0935> (8804)_.

1:23

And they told
<05046> (8686)

the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_.

And when he was come in
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

he bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself before the king
<04428>

with his face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_.

1:24

And Nathan
<05416>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

My lord
<0113>_,

O king
<04428>_,

hast thou said
<0559> (8804)_,

Adonijah
<0138>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

after
<0310>

me, and he shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon my throne
<03678>_?

1:25

For he is gone down
<03381> (8804)

this day
<03117>_,

and hath slain
<02076> (8799)

oxen
<07794>

and fat cattle
<04806>

and sheep
<06629>

in abundance
<07230>_,

and hath called
<07121> (8799)

all the king's
<04428>

sons
<01121>_,

and the captains
<08269>

of the host
<06635>_,

and Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>_;

and, behold, they eat
<0398> (8802)

and drink
<08354> (8802)

before
<06440>

him, and say
<0559> (8799)_,

God save
<02421> (8799)

king
<04428>

Adonijah
<0138>_.

{God...: Heb. Let king Adonijah live}

1:26

But me, [even] me thy servant
<05650>_,

and Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and thy servant
<05650>

Solomon
<08010>_,

hath he not called
<07121> (8804)_.

1:27

Is this thing
<01697>

done
<01961> (8738)

by my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

and thou hast not shewed
<03045> (8689)

[it] unto thy servant
<05650>_,

who should sit
<03427> (8799)

on the throne
<03678>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

after
<0310>

him?

1:28

Then king
<04428>

David
<01732>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Call
<07121> (8798)

me Bathsheba
<01339>_.

And she came
<0935> (8799)

into the king's
<04428>

presence
<06440>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

{into...: Heb. before the king}

1:29

And the king
<04428>

sware
<07650> (8735)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

that hath redeemed
<06299> (8804)

my soul
<05315>

out of all distress
<06869>_,

1:30

Even as I sware
<07650> (8738)

unto thee by the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Assuredly Solomon
<08010>

thy son
<01121>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

after
<0310>

me, and he shall sit
<03427> (8799)

upon my throne
<03678>

in my stead; even so will I certainly do
<06213> (8799)

this day
<03117>_.

1:31

Then Bathsheba
<01339>

bowed
<06915> (8799)

with [her] face
<0639>

to the earth
<0776>_,

and did reverence
<07812> (8691)

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let my lord
<0113>

king
<04428>

David
<01732>

live
<02421> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_.

1:32

And king
<04428>

David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Call
<07121> (8798)

me Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_.

And they came
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

1:33

The king
<04428>

also said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Take
<03947> (8798)

with you the servants
<05650>

of your lord
<0113>_,

and cause Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>

to ride
<07392> (8689)

upon mine own mule
<06506>_,

and bring him down
<03381> (8689)

to Gihon
<01521>_:

{mine...: Heb. which belongeth to me}

1:34

And let Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>

anoint
<04886> (8804)

him there king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_:

and blow
<08628> (8804)

ye with the trumpet
<07782>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

God save
<02421> (8799)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

1:35

Then ye shall come up
<05927> (8804)

after
<0310>

him, that he may come
<0935> (8804)

and sit
<03427> (8804)

upon my throne
<03678>_;

for he shall be king
<04427> (8799)

in my stead: and I have appointed
<06680> (8765)

him to be ruler
<05057>

over Israel
<03478>

and over Judah
<03063>_.

1:36

And Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amen
<0543>_:

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

say
<0559> (8799)

so [too].

1:37

As the LORD
<03068>

hath been with my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

even so be he with Solomon
<08010>_,

and make
<01431> (0)

his throne
<03678>

greater
<01431> (8762)

than the throne
<03678>

of my lord
<0113>

king
<04428>

David
<01732>_.

1:38

So Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and the Pelethites
<06432>_,

went down
<03381> (8799)_,

and caused Solomon
<08010>

to ride
<07392> (8686)

upon king
<04428>

David's
<01732>

mule
<06506>_,

and brought
<03212> (8686)

him to Gihon
<01521>_.

1:39

And Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>

took
<03947> (8799)

an horn
<07161>

of oil
<08081>

out of the tabernacle
<0168>_,

and anointed
<04886> (8799)

Solomon
<08010>_.

And they blew
<08628> (8799)

the trumpet
<07782>_;

and all the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God save
<02421> (8799)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

1:40

And all the people
<05971>

came up
<05927> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and the people
<05971>

piped
<02490> (8764)

with pipes
<02485>_,

and rejoiced
<08056>

with great
<01419>

joy
<08057>_,

so that the earth
<0776>

rent
<01234> (8735)

with the sound
<06963>

of them. {pipes: or, flutes}

1:41

And Adonijah
<0138>

and all the guests
<07121> (8803)

that [were] with him heard
<08085> (8799)

[it] as they had made an end
<03615> (8765)

of eating
<0398> (8800)_.

And when Joab
<03097>

heard
<08085> (8799)

the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore [is this] noise
<06963>

of the city
<07151>

being in an uproar
<01993> (8802)_?

1:42

And while he yet spake
<01696> (8764)_,

behold, Jonathan
<03129>

the son
<01121>

of Abiathar
<054>

the priest
<03548>

came
<0935> (8804)_:

and Adonijah
<0138>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Come in
<0935> (8798)_;

for thou [art] a valiant
<02428>

man
<0376> (8676) <0381>_,

and bringest
<01319> (0)

good
<02896>

tidings
<01319> (8762)_.

1:43

And Jonathan
<03129>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Adonijah
<0138>_,

Verily
<061>

our lord
<0113>

king
<04428>

David
<01732>

hath made Solomon
<08010>

king
<04427> (8689)_.

1:44

And the king
<04428>

hath sent
<07971> (8799)

with him Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and the Pelethites
<06432>_,

and they have caused him to ride
<07392> (8686)

upon the king's
<04428>

mule
<06506>_:

1:45

And Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>

have anointed
<04886> (8799)

him king
<04428>

in Gihon
<01521>_:

and they are come up
<05927> (8799)

from thence rejoicing
<08056>_,

so that the city
<07151>

rang again
<01949> (8735)_.

This [is] the noise
<06963>

that ye have heard
<08085> (8804)_.

1:46

And also Solomon
<08010>

sitteth
<03427> (8804)

on the throne
<03678>

of the kingdom
<04410>_.

1:47

And moreover the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>

came
<0935> (8804)

to bless
<01288> (8763)

our lord
<0113>

king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

God
<0430>

make the name
<08034>

of Solomon
<08010>

better
<03190> (8686)

than thy name
<08034>_,

and make
<01431> (0)

his throne
<03678>

greater
<01431> (8762)

than thy throne
<03678>_.

And the king
<04428>

bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself upon the bed
<04904>_.

1:48

And also thus said
<0559> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which hath given
<05414> (8804)

[one] to sit
<03427> (8802)

on my throne
<03678>

this day
<03117>_,

mine eyes
<05869>

even seeing
<07200> (8802)

[it].

1:49

And all the guests
<07121> (8803)

that [were] with Adonijah
<0138>

were afraid
<02729> (8799)_,

and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his way
<01870>_.

1:50

And Adonijah
<0138>

feared
<03372> (8804)

because
<06440>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

and arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)_,

and caught hold
<02388> (8686)

on the horns
<07161>

of the altar
<04196>_.

1:51

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Solomon
<08010>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, Adonijah
<0138>

feareth
<03372> (8804)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_:

for, lo, he hath caught hold
<0270> (8804)

on the horns
<07161>

of the altar
<04196>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

swear
<07650> (8735)

unto me to day
<03117>

that he will not slay
<04191> (8686)

his servant
<05650>

with the sword
<02719>_.

1:52

And Solomon
<08010>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

If he will shew himself a worthy
<02428>

man
<01121>_,

there shall not an hair
<08185>

of him fall
<05307> (8799)

to the earth
<0776>_:

but if wickedness
<07451>

shall be found
<04672> (8735)

in him, he shall die
<04191> (8804)_.

1:53

So king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and they brought him down
<03381> (8686)

from the altar
<04196>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_:

and Solomon
<08010>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go
<03212> (8798)

to thine house
<01004>_.
