1 Kings 8:22-53

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>_.
