1 Kings 8:47-66

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}
