And it came to pass in the four

which king

<01129> (8804)

for the LORD

round about
<05439>_,

[against] the walls

of the house
<01004>

round about

and of the oracle
<01687>_:

and he made
<06213> (8799)

the house
<01004>

he made
<05414> (8804)

narrowed rests
<04052>

<05439>_,

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

{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)

<08484>

chamber
<06763>

<01004>_:

and they went up
<05927> (8799)

with winding stairs
<03883>

into the middle
<08484>

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

So he built
<01129> (8799)

the house
<01004>_,

and finished
<03615> (8762)

<05603> (8799)

the house
<01004>

with beams
<01356>

and boards
<07713>

of cedar
<0730>_.

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

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.
