<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

unto king

<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

out of the city

and the priests
<03548>

<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

even those did the priests
<03548>

and the Levites

sacrificing
<02076> (8764)

sheep
<06629>

<01241>_,

that could not be told
<05608> (8735)

nor numbered
<04487> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

8:6

And the priests

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>_.
