2 Chronicles 1:1--9:31

And Solomon
<08010>
the son
<01121>
of David
<01732>
was strengthened
<02388> (8691)
in his kingdom
<04438>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
his God
<0430>
[was] with him, and magnified
<01431> (8762)
him exceedingly
<04605>_.
Then Solomon
<08010>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto all Israel
<03478>_,
to the captains
<08269>
of thousands
<0505>
and of hundreds
<03967>_,
and to the judges
<08199> (8802)_,
and to every governor
<05387>
in all Israel
<03478>_,
the chief
<07218>
of the fathers
<01>_.
So Solomon
<08010>_,
and all the congregation
<06951>
with him, went
<03212> (8799)
to the high place
<01116>
that [was] at Gibeon
<01391>_;
for there was the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>
of God
<0430>_,
which Moses
<04872>
the servant
<05650>
of the LORD
<03068>
had made
<06213> (8804)
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
But
<061>
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
had David
<01732>
brought up
<05927> (8689)
from Kirjathjearim
<07157>
to [the place which] David
<01732>
had prepared
<03559> (8687)
for it: for he had pitched
<05186> (8804)
a tent
<0168>
for it at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
Moreover the brasen
<05178>
altar
<04196>_,
that Bezaleel
<01212>
the son
<01121>
of Uri
<0221>_,
the son
<01121>
of Hur
<02354>_,
had made
<06213> (8804)_,
he put
<07760> (8804)
before
<06440>
the tabernacle
<04908>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and Solomon
<08010>
and the congregation
<06951>
sought
<01875> (8799)
unto it. {he put: or, was there}
And Solomon
<08010>
went up
<05927> (8686)
thither to the brasen
<05178>
altar
<04196>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
which [was] at the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
a thousand
<0505>
burnt offerings
<05930>
upon it.
In that night
<03915>
did God
<0430>
appear
<07200> (8738)
unto Solomon
<08010>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Ask
<07592> (8798)
what I shall give
<05414> (8799)
thee.
And Solomon
<08010>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto God
<0430>_,
Thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)
great
<01419>
mercy
<02617>
unto David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
and hast made me to reign
<04427> (8689)
in his stead.
Now, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
let thy promise
<01697>
unto David
<01732>
my father
<01>
be established
<0539> (8735)_:
for thou hast made me king
<04427> (8689)
over a people
<05971>
like the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>
in multitude
<07227>_.
{like...: Heb. much as the dust of the earth}
Give
<05414> (8798)
me now wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<04093>_,
that I may go out
<03318> (8799)
and come in
<0935> (8799)
before
<06440>
this people
<05971>_:
for who can judge
<08199> (8799)
this thy people
<05971>_,
[that is so] great
<01419>_?
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
Because this was in thine heart
<03824>_,
and thou hast not asked
<07592> (8804)
riches
<06239>_,
wealth
<05233>_,
or honour
<03519>_,
nor the life
<05315>
of thine enemies
<08130> (8802)_,
neither yet hast asked
<07592> (8804)
long
<07227>
life
<03117>_;
but hast asked
<07592> (8799)
wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<04093>
for thyself, that thou mayest judge
<08199> (8799)
my people
<05971>_,
over whom I have made thee king
<04427> (8689)_:
Wisdom
<02451>
and knowledge
<04093>
[is] granted
<05414> (8803)
unto thee; and I will give
<05414> (8799)
thee riches
<06239>_,
and wealth
<05233>_,
and honour
<03519>_,
such as none of the kings
<04428>
have had that [have been] before
<06440>
thee, neither shall there any after
<0310>
thee have the like.
Then Solomon
<08010>
came
<0935> (8799)
[from his journey] to the high place
<01116>
that [was] at Gibeon
<01391>
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
from before
<06440>
the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8799)
over Israel
<03478>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
gathered
<0622> (8799)
chariots
<07393>
and horsemen
<06571>_:
and he had a thousand
<0505>
and four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
chariots
<07393>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
horsemen
<06571>_,
which he placed
<03240> (8686)
in the chariot
<07393>
cities
<05892>_,
and with the king
<04428>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And the king
<04428>
made
<05414> (8799)
silver
<03701>
and gold
<02091>
at Jerusalem
<03389>
[as plenteous] as stones
<068>_,
and cedar trees
<0730>
made
<05414> (8804)
he as the sycomore trees
<08256>
that [are] in the vale
<08219>
for abundance
<07230>_.
{made: Heb. gave}
And Solomon
<08010>
had horses
<05483>
brought
<04161>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and linen yarn
<04723>_:
the king's
<04428>
merchants
<05503> (8802)
received
<03947> (8799)
the linen yarn
<04723>
at a price
<04242>_.
{Solomon...: Heb. the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And they fetched up
<05927> (8799)_,
and brought forth
<03318> (8686)
out of Egypt
<04714>
a chariot
<04818>
for six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of silver
<03701>_,
and an horse
<05483>
for an hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>_:
and so brought they out
<03318> (8686)
[horses] for all the kings
<04428>
of the Hittites
<02850>_,
and for the kings
<04428>
of Syria
<0758>_,
by their means
<03027>_.
{means: Heb. hand}
And Solomon
<08010>
determined
<0559> (8799)
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
for the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and an house
<01004>
for his kingdom
<04438>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
told out
<05608> (8799)
threescore and ten
<07657>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
to bear burdens
<05449>_,
and fourscore
<08084>
thousand
<0505> <0376>
to hew
<02672> (8802)
in the mountain
<02022>_,
and three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
and six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
to oversee
<05329> (8764)
them.
And Solomon
<08010>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Huram
<02361>
the king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
As thou didst deal
<06213> (8804)
with David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
and didst send
<07971> (8799)
him cedars
<0730>
to build
<01129> (8800)
him an house
<01004>
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
therein, [even so deal with me]. {Huram: or, Hiram}
Behold, I build
<01129> (8802)
an house
<01004>
to the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
to dedicate
<06942> (8687)
[it] to him, [and] to burn
<06999> (8687)
before
<06440>
him sweet
<05561>
incense
<07004>_,
and for the continual
<08548>
shewbread
<04635>_,
and for the burnt offerings
<05930>
morning
<01242>
and evening
<06153>_,
on the sabbaths
<07676>_,
and on the new moons
<02320>_,
and on the solemn feasts
<04150>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
This [is an ordinance] for ever
<05769>
to Israel
<03478>_.
{sweet...: Heb. incense of spices}
And the house
<01004>
which I build
<01129> (8802)
[is] great
<01419>_:
for great
<01419>
[is] our God
<0430>
above all gods
<0430>_.
But who is able
<06113> (8799) <03581>
to build
<01129> (8800)
him an house
<01004>_,
seeing the heaven
<08064>
and heaven
<08064>
of heavens
<08064>
cannot contain
<03557> (8770)
him? who [am] I then, that I should build
<01129> (8799)
him an house
<01004>_,
save only
<0518>
to burn sacrifice
<06999> (8687)
before
<06440>
him? {is able: Heb. hath retained, or, obtained strength}
Send
<07971> (8798)
me now therefore a man
<0376>
cunning
<02450>
to work
<06213> (8800)
in gold
<02091>_,
and in silver
<03701>_,
and in brass
<05178>_,
and in iron
<01270>_,
and in purple
<0710>_,
and crimson
<03758>_,
and blue
<08504>_,
and that can skill
<03045> (8802)
to grave
<06605> (8763) <06603>
with the cunning men
<02450>
that [are] with me in Judah
<03063>
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
whom David
<01732>
my father
<01>
did provide
<03559> (8689)_.
{to grave: Heb. to grave gravings}
Send
<07971> (8798)
me also cedar
<0730>
trees
<06086>_,
fir trees
<01265>_,
and algum trees
<0418>_,
out of Lebanon
<03844>_:
for I know
<03045> (8804)
that thy servants
<05650>
can skill
<03045> (8802)
to cut
<03772> (8800)
timber
<06086>
in Lebanon
<03844>_;
and, behold, my servants
<05650>
[shall be] with thy servants
<05650>_,
{algum: also called, almuggim}
Even to prepare
<03559> (8687)
me timber
<06086>
in abundance
<07230>_:
for the house
<01004>
which I am about to build
<01129> (8802)
[shall be] wonderful
<06381> (8687)
great
<01419>_.
{wonderful...: Heb. great and wonderful}
And, behold, I will give
<05414> (8804)
to thy servants
<05650>_,
the hewers
<02404> (8802)
that cut
<03772> (8802)
timber
<06086>_,
twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
measures
<03734>
of beaten
<04347>
wheat
<02406>_,
and twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
measures
<03734>
of barley
<08184>_,

<06242>

<0505>

<01324>
of wine
<03196>_,
and twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
baths
<01324>
of oil
<08081>_.
Then Huram
<02361>
the king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>
answered
<0559> (8799)
in writing
<03791>_,
which he sent
<07971> (8799)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath loved
<0160>
his people
<05971>_,
he hath made
<05414> (8804)
thee king
<04428>
over them.
Huram
<02361>
said
<0559> (8799)
moreover, Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that made
<06213> (8804)
heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_,
who hath given
<05414> (8804)
to David
<01732>
the king
<04428>
a wise
<02450>
son
<01121>_,
endued
<03045> (8802)
with prudence
<07922>
and understanding
<0998>_,
that might build
<01129> (8799)
an house
<01004>
for the LORD
<03068>_,
and an house
<01004>
for his kingdom
<04438>_.
{endued...: Heb. knowing prudence and understanding}
And now I have sent
<07971> (8804)
a cunning
<02450>
man
<0376>_,
endued
<03045> (8802)
with understanding
<0998>_,
of Huram
<02361>
my father's
<01>_,
The son
<01121>
of a woman
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Dan
<01835>_,
and his father
<01>
[was] a man
<0376>
of Tyre
<06876>_,
skilful
<03045> (8802)
to work
<06213> (8800)
in gold
<02091>_,
and in silver
<03701>_,
in brass
<05178>_,
in iron
<01270>_,
in stone
<068>_,
and in timber
<06086>_,
in purple
<0713>_,
in blue
<08504>_,
and in fine linen
<0948>_,
and in crimson
<03758>_;
also to grave
<06605> (8763)
any manner of graving
<06603>_,
and to find out
<02803> (8800)
every device
<04284>
which shall be put
<05414> (8735)
to him, with thy cunning men
<02450>_,
and with the cunning men
<02450>
of my lord
<0113>
David
<01732>
thy father
<01>_.
Now therefore the wheat
<02406>_,
and the barley
<08184>_,
the oil
<08081>_,
and the wine
<03196>_,
which my lord
<0113>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)
of, let him send
<07971> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_:
And we will cut
<03772> (8799)
wood
<06086>
out of Lebanon
<03844>_,
as much as thou shalt need
<06878>_:
and we will bring
<0935> (8686)
it to thee in floats
<07513>
by sea
<03220>
to Joppa
<03305>_;
and thou shalt carry it up
<05927> (8686)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{as much...: Heb according to all thy need} {Joppa: Heb. Japho}
And Solomon
<08010>
numbered
<05608> (8799)
all the strangers
<0582> <01616>
that [were] in the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_,
after
<0310>
the numbering
<05610>
wherewith David
<01732>
his father
<01>
had numbered
<05608> (8804)
them; and they were found
<04672> (8735)
an hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
thousand
<0505>
and three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
and six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>_.
{the strangers: Heb. the men the strangers}
And he set
<06213> (8799)
threescore and ten
<07657>
thousand
<0505>
of them [to be] bearers of burdens
<05449>_,
and fourscore
<08084>
thousand
<0505>
[to be] hewers
<02672> (8802)
in the mountain
<02022>_,
and three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
and six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
overseers
<05329> (8764)
to set
<05647> (0)
the people
<05971>
a work
<05647> (8687)_.
Then Solomon
<08010>
began
<02490> (8686)
to build
<01129> (8800)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
at Jerusalem
<03389>
in mount
<02022>
Moriah
<04179>_,
where [the LORD] appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto David
<01732>
his father
<01>_,
in the place
<04725>
that David
<01732>
had prepared
<03559> (8689)
in the threshingfloor
<01637>
of Ornan
<0771>
the Jebusite
<02983>_.
{where...: or, which was seen of David his father} {Ornan: also called, Araunah}
And he began
<02490> (8686)
to build
<01129> (8800)
in the second
<08145>
[day] of the second
<08145>
month
<02320>_,
in the fourth
<0702>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04438>_.
Now these [are the things wherein] Solomon
<08010>
was instructed
<03245> (8717)
for the building
<01129> (8800)
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
The length
<0753>
by cubits
<0520>
after the first
<07223>
measure
<04060>
[was] threescore
<08346>
cubits
<0520>_,
and the breadth
<07341>
twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>_.
{instructed: Heb. founded}
And the porch
<0197>
that [was] in the front
<06440>
[of the house], the length
<0753>
[of it was] according to the breadth
<07341>
of the house
<01004>_,
twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>_,
and the height
<01363>
[was] an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>_:
and he overlaid
<06823> (8762)
it within
<06441>
with pure
<02889>
gold
<02091>_.
And the greater
<01419>
house
<01004>
he cieled
<02645> (8765)
with fir
<01265>
tree
<06086>_,
which he overlaid
<02645> (8762)
with fine
<02896>
gold
<02091>_,
and set
<05927> (8686)
thereon palm trees
<08561>
and chains
<08333>_.
And he garnished
<06823> (8762)
the house
<01004>
with precious
<03368>
stones
<068>
for beauty
<08597>_:
and the gold
<02091>
[was] gold
<02091>
of Parvaim
<06516>_.
{garnished: Heb. covered}
He overlaid
<02645> (8762)
also the house
<01004>_,
the beams
<06982>_,
the posts
<05592>_,
and the walls
<07023>
thereof, and the doors
<01817>
thereof, with gold
<02091>_;
and graved
<06605> (8765)
cherubims
<03742>
on the walls
<07023>_.
And he made
<06213> (8799)
the most
<06944>
holy
<06944>
house
<01004>_,
the length
<0753>
whereof [was] according to
<06440>
the breadth
<07341>
of the house
<01004>_,
twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>_,
and the breadth
<07341>
thereof twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>_:
and he overlaid
<02645> (8762)
it with fine
<02896>
gold
<02091>_,
[amounting] to six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
talents
<03603>_.
And the weight
<04948>
of the nails
<04548>
[was] fifty
<02572>
shekels
<08255>
of gold
<02091>_.
And he overlaid
<02645> (8765)
the upper chambers
<05944>
with gold
<02091>_.
And in the most
<06944>
holy
<06944>
house
<01004>
he made
<06213> (8799)
two
<08147>
cherubims
<03742>
of image
<06816>
work
<04639>_,
and overlaid
<06823> (8762)
them with gold
<02091>_.
{image...: or, (as some think) of moveable work}
And the wings
<03671>
of the cherubims
<03742>
[were] twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>
long
<0753>_:
one
<0259>
wing
<03671>
[of the one cherub was] five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>_,
reaching
<05060> (8688)
to the wall
<07023>
of the house
<01004>_:
and the other
<0312>
wing
<03671>
[was likewise] five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>_,
reaching
<05060> (8688)
to the wing
<03671>
of the other
<0312>
cherub
<03742>_.
And [one] wing
<03671>
of the other
<0259>
cherub
<03742>
[was] five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>_,
reaching
<05060> (8688)
to the wall
<07023>
of the house
<01004>_:
and the other
<0312>
wing
<03671>
[was] five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>
[also], joining
<01695>
to the wing
<03671>
of the other
<0312>
cherub
<03742>_.
The wings
<03671>
of these cherubims
<03742>
spread themselves forth
<06566> (8802)
twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>_:
and they stood
<05975> (8802)
on their feet
<07272>_,
and their faces
<06440>
[were] inward
<01004>_.
{inward: or, toward the house}
And he made
<06213> (8799)
the vail
<06532>
[of] blue
<08504>_,
and purple
<0713>_,
and crimson
<03758>_,
and fine linen
<0948>_,
and wrought
<05927> (8686)
cherubims
<03742>
thereon. {wrought: Heb. caused to ascend}
Also he made
<06213> (8799)
before
<06440>
the house
<01004>
two
<08147>
pillars
<05982>
of thirty
<07970>
and five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>
high
<0753>_,
and the chapiter
<06858>
that [was] on the top
<07218>
of each of them [was] five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>_.
{high: Heb. long}
And he made
<06213> (8799)
chains
<08333>_,
[as] in the oracle
<01687>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
[them] on the heads
<07218>
of the pillars
<05982>_;
and made
<06213> (8799)
an hundred
<03967>
pomegranates
<07416>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
[them] on the chains
<08333>_.
And he reared up
<06965> (8686)
the pillars
<05982>
before
<06440>
the temple
<01964>_,
one
<0259>
on the right hand
<03225>_,
and the other
<0259>
on the left
<08040>_;
and called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of that on the right hand
<03233> (8675) <03227>
Jachin
<03199>_,
and the name
<08034>
of that on the left
<08042>
Boaz
<01162>_.
{Jachin: that is, He shall establish} {Boaz: that is, In it is strength}
Moreover he made
<06213> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
of brass
<05178>_,
twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>
the length
<0753>
thereof, and twenty
<06242>
cubits
<0520>
the breadth
<07341>
thereof, and ten
<06235>
cubits
<0520>
the height
<06967>
thereof.
Also he made
<06213> (8799)
a molten
<03332> (8716)
sea
<03220>
of ten
<06235>
cubits
<0520>
from brim
<08193>
to brim
<08193>_,
round
<05696>
in compass
<05439>_,
and five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>
the height
<06967>
thereof; and a line
<06957>
of thirty
<07970>
cubits
<0520>
did compass
<05437> (8799)
it round about
<05439>_.
{from...: Heb. from his brim to his brim}
And under it [was] the similitude
<01823>
of oxen
<01241>_,
which did compass
<05437> (8802)
it round about
<05439>_:
ten
<06235>
in a cubit
<0520>_,
compassing
<05362> (8688)
the sea
<03220>
round about
<05439>_.
Two
<08147>
rows
<02905>
of oxen
<01241>
[were] cast
<03332> (8803)_,
when it was cast
<04166>_.
It stood
<05975> (8802)
upon twelve
<08147> <06240>
oxen
<01241>_,
three
<07969>
looking
<06437> (8802)
toward the north
<06828>_,
and three
<07969>
looking
<06437> (8802)
toward the west
<03220>_,
and three
<07969>
looking
<06437> (8802)
toward the south
<05045>_,
and three
<07969>
looking
<06437> (8802)
toward the east
<04217>_:
and the sea
<03220>
[was set] above
<04605>
upon them, and all their hinder parts
<0268>
[were] inward
<01004>_.
And the thickness
<05672>
of it [was] an handbreadth
<02947>_,
and the brim
<08193>
of it like the work
<04639>
of the brim
<08193>
of a cup
<03563>_,
with flowers
<06525>
of lilies
<07799>_;
[and] it received
<02388> (8688)
and held
<03557> (8686)
three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
baths
<01324>_.
{with flowers...: or, like a lilyflower}
He made
<06213> (8799)
also ten
<06235>
lavers
<03595>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
five
<02568>
on the right hand
<03225>_,
and five
<02568>
on the left
<08040>_,
to wash
<07364> (8800)
in them: such things as they offered
<04639>
for the burnt offering
<05930>
they washed
<01740> (8686)
in them; but the sea
<03220>
[was] for the priests
<03548>
to wash in
<07364> (8800)_.
{such...: Heb. the work of burnt offering}
And he made
<06213> (8799)
ten
<06235>
candlesticks
<04501>
of gold
<02091>
according to their form
<04941>_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
[them] in the temple
<01964>_,
five
<02568>
on the right hand
<03225>_,
and five
<02568>
on the left
<08040>_.
He made
<06213> (8799)
also ten
<06235>
tables
<07979>_,
and placed
<03240> (8686)
[them] in the temple
<01964>_,
five
<02568>
on the right side
<03225>_,
and five
<02568>
on the left
<08040>_.
And he made
<06213> (8799)
an hundred
<03967>
basons
<04219>
of gold
<02091>_.
{basons: or, bowls}
Furthermore he made
<06213> (8799)
the court
<02691>
of the priests
<03548>_,
and the great
<01419>
court
<05835>_,
and doors
<01817>
for the court
<05835>_,
and overlaid
<06823> (8765)
the doors
<01817>
of them with brass
<05178>_.
And he set
<05414> (8804)
the sea
<03220>
on the right
<03233>
side
<03802>
of the east end
<06924>_,
over against
<04136>
the south
<05045>_.
And Huram
<02361>
made
<06213> (8799)
the pots
<05518>_,
and the shovels
<03257>_,
and the basons
<04219>_.
And Huram
<02361> (8676) <02438>
finished
<03615> (8762) <06213> (8800)
the work
<04399>
that he was to make
<06213> (8804)
for king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
for the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_;
{basons: or, bowls} {finished: Heb. finished to make}
[To wit], the two
<08147>
pillars
<05982>_,
and the pommels
<01543>_,
and the chapiters
<03805>
[which were] on the top
<07218>
of the two pillars
<05982>_,
and the two
<08147>
wreaths
<07639>
to cover
<03680> (8763)
the two
<08147>
pommels
<01543>
of the chapiters
<03805>
which [were] on the top
<07218>
of the pillars
<05982>_;
And four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
pomegranates
<07416>
on the two
<08147>
wreaths
<07639>_;
two
<08147>
rows
<02905>
of pomegranates
<07416>
on each
<0259>
wreath
<07639>_,
to cover
<03680> (8763)
the two
<08147>
pommels
<01543>
of the chapiters
<03805>
which [were] upon
<06440>
the pillars
<05982>_.
{upon: Heb. upon the face of}
He made
<06213> (8804)
also bases
<04350>_,
and lavers
<03595>
made
<06213> (8804)
he upon the bases
<04350>_;
{lavers: or, caldrons}
One
<0259>
sea
<03220>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
oxen
<01241>
under it.
The pots
<05518>
also, and the shovels
<03257>_,
and the fleshhooks
<04207>_,
and all their instruments
<03627>_,
did Huram
<02361>
his father
<01>
make
<06213> (8804)
to king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
for the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
of bright
<04838> (8803)
brass
<05178>_.
{bright: Heb. made bright, or, scoured}
In the plain
<03603>
of Jordan
<03383>
did the king
<04428>
cast
<03332> (8804)
them, in the clay
<05645>
ground
<0127>
between Succoth
<05523>
and Zeredathah
<06868>_.
{clay...: Heb. thicknesses of the ground}
Thus Solomon
<08010>
made
<06213> (8799)
all these vessels
<03627>
in great
<03966>
abundance
<07230>_:
for the weight
<04948>
of the brass
<05178>
could not be found out
<02713> (8738)_.
And Solomon
<08010>
made
<06213> (8799)
all the vessels
<03627>
that [were for] the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
the golden
<02091>
altar
<04196>
also, and the tables
<07979>
whereon the shewbread
<03899> <06440>
[was set];
Moreover the candlesticks
<04501>
with their lamps
<05216>_,
that they should burn
<01197> (8763)
after the manner
<04941>
before
<06440>
the oracle
<01687>_,
of pure
<05462> (8803)
gold
<02091>_;
And the flowers
<06525>_,
and the lamps
<05216>_,
and the tongs
<04457>_,
[made he of] gold
<02091>_,
[and] that perfect
<04357>
gold
<02091>_;
{perfect...: Heb. perfections of gold}
And the snuffers
<04212>_,
and the basons
<04219>_,
and the spoons
<03709>_,
and the censers
<04289>_,
[of] pure
<05462> (8803)
gold
<02091>_:
and the entry
<06607>
of the house
<01004>_,
the inner
<06442>
doors
<01817>
thereof for the most
<06944>
holy
<06944>
[place], and the doors
<01817>
of the house
<01004>
of the temple
<01964>_,
[were of] gold
<02091>_.
{basons: or, bowls}
Thus all the work
<04399>
that Solomon
<08010>
made
<06213> (8804)
for the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
was finished
<07999> (8799)_:
and Solomon
<08010>
brought
<0935> (8686)
in [all] the things
<06944> (0)
that David
<01732>
his father
<01>
had dedicated
<06944>_;
and the silver
<03701>_,
and the gold
<02091>_,
and all the instruments
<03627>_,
put
<05414> (8804)
he among the treasures
<0214>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
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 Jerusalem
<03389>_,
to 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>_.
Wherefore all the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
assembled
<06950> (8735)
themselves unto the king
<04428>
in the feast
<02282>
which [was] in the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>_.
And all the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
came
<0935> (8799)_;
and the Levites
<03881>
took up
<05375> (8799)
the ark
<0727>_.
And they brought up
<05927> (8686)
the ark
<0727>_,
and the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
and all the holy
<06944>
vessels
<03627>
that [were] in the tabernacle
<0168>_,
these did the priests
<03548>
[and] the Levites
<03881>
bring up
<05927> (8689)_.
Also king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>_,
and all the congregation
<05712>
of Israel
<03478>
that were assembled
<03259> (8737)
unto him before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>_,
sacrificed
<02076> (8764)
sheep
<06629>
and oxen
<01241>_,
which could not be told
<05608> (8735)
nor numbered
<04487> (8735)
for multitude
<07230>_.
And the priests
<03548>
brought in
<0935> (8686)
the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto his place
<04725>_,
to the oracle
<01687>
of the house
<01004>_,
into the most
<06944>
holy
<06944>
[place, even] under the wings
<03671>
of the cherubims
<03742>_:
For the cherubims
<03742>
spread forth
<06566> (8802)
[their] wings
<03671>
over the place
<04725>
of the ark
<0727>_,
and the cherubims
<03742>
covered
<03680> (8762)
the ark
<0727>
and the staves
<0905>
thereof above
<04605>_.
And they drew out
<0748> (8686)
the staves
<0905>
[of the ark], that the ends
<07218>
of the staves
<0905>
were seen
<07200> (8735)
from the ark
<0727>
before
<06440>
the oracle
<01687>_;
but they were not seen
<07200> (8735)
without
<02351>_.
And there it is unto this day
<03117>_.
{there...: or, they are there}
[There was] nothing in the ark
<0727>
save the two
<08147>
tables
<03871>
which Moses
<04872>
put
<05414> (8804)
[therein] 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 Egypt
<04714>_.
{when the LORD: or, where, etc}
And it came to pass, when the priests
<03548>
were come out
<03318> (8800)
of the holy
<06944>
[place]: (for all the priests
<03548>
[that were] present
<04672> (8737)
were sanctified
<06942> (8694)_,
[and] did not [then] wait
<08104> (8800)
by course
<04256>_:
{present: Heb. found}
Also the Levites
<03881>
[which were] the singers
<07891> (8789)_,
all of them of Asaph
<0623>_,
of Heman
<01968>_,
of Jeduthun
<03038>_,
with their sons
<01121>
and their brethren
<0251>_,
[being] arrayed
<03847> (8794)
in white linen
<0948>_,
having cymbals
<04700>
and psalteries
<05035>
and harps
<03658>_,
stood
<05975> (8802)
at the east end
<04217>
of the altar
<04196>_,
and with them an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
priests
<03548>
sounding
<02690> (8688)
with trumpets
<02689>:)
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters
<02690> (8764) (8675) <02690> (8764)
and singers
<07891> (8789)
[were] as one
<0259>_,
to make one
<0259>
sound
<06963>
to be heard
<08085> (8687)
in praising
<01984> (8763)
and thanking
<03034> (8687)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and when they lifted up
<07311> (8687)
[their] voice
<06963>
with the trumpets
<02689>
and cymbals
<04700>
and instruments
<03627>
of musick
<07892>_,
and praised
<01984> (8763)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[saying], For [he is] good
<02896>_;
for his mercy
<02617>
[endureth] for ever
<05769>_:
that [then] the house
<01004>
was filled
<04390> (8804)
with a cloud
<06051>_,
[even] the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
So that the priests
<03548>
could
<03201> (8804)
not stand
<05975> (8800)
to minister
<08334> (8763)
by reason
<06440>
of the cloud
<06051>_:
for the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
had filled
<04390> (8804)
the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
Then said
<0559> (8804)
Solomon
<08010>_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath said
<0559> (8804)
that he would dwell
<07931> (8800)
in the thick darkness
<06205>_.
But I have built
<01129> (8804)
an house
<01004>
of habitation
<02073>
for thee, and a place
<04349>
for thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)
for ever
<05769>_.
And the king
<04428>
turned
<05437> (8686)
his face
<06440>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
the whole congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and all the congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>
stood
<05975> (8802)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
who hath with his hands
<03027>
fulfilled
<04390> (8765)
[that] which he spake
<01696> (8765)
with his mouth
<06310>
to my father
<01>
David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Since the day
<03117>
that I brought forth
<03318> (8689)
my people
<05971>
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
I chose
<0977> (8804)
no city
<05892>
among all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
in, that my name
<08034>
might be there; neither chose
<0977> (8804)
I any man
<0376>
to be a ruler
<05057>
over my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_:
But I have chosen
<0977> (8799)
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
that my name
<08034>
might be there; and have chosen
<0977> (8799)
David
<01732>
to be over my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_.
Now 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>_.
But the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
to David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
Forasmuch as it was in thine heart
<03824>
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
for my name
<08034>_,
thou didst well
<02895> (8689)
in that it was in thine heart
<03824>_:
Notwithstanding
<07535>
thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)
the house
<01004>_;
but thy son
<01121>
which shall come forth
<03318> (8802)
out of thy loins
<02504>_,
he shall build
<01129> (8799)
the house
<01004>
for my name
<08034>_.
The LORD
<03068>
therefore hath performed
<06965> (8686)
his word
<01697>
that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_:
for I am risen up
<06965> (8799)
in the room of David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
and am set
<03427> (8799)
on the throne
<03678>
of Israel
<03478>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
promised
<01696> (8765)_,
and have built
<01129> (8799)
the house
<01004>
for the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And in it
<08033>
have I put
<07760> (8799)
the ark
<0727>_,
wherein [is] the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he made
<03772> (8804)
with the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And he stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the presence of all the congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and spread forth
<06566> (8799)
his hands
<03709>_:
For Solomon
<08010>
had made
<06213> (8804)
a brasen
<05178>
scaffold
<03595>_,
of five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>
long
<0753>_,
and five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>
broad
<07341>_,
and three
<07969>
cubits
<0520>
high
<06967>_,
and had set
<05414> (8799)
it in the midst
<08432>
of the court
<05835>_:
and upon it he stood
<05975> (8799)_,
and kneeled down
<01288> (8799)
upon his knees
<01290>
before all the congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and spread forth
<06566> (8799)
his hands
<03709>
toward heaven
<08064>_,
{long...: Heb. the length thereof, etc}
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[there is] no God
<0430>
like thee in the heaven
<08064>_,
nor in the earth
<0776>_;
which keepest
<08104> (8802)
covenant
<01285>_,
and [shewest] mercy
<02617>
unto thy servants
<05650>_,
that walk
<01980> (8802)
before
<06440>
thee with all their hearts
<03820>_:
Thou which hast kept
<08104> (8804)
with thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
my father
<01>
that which thou hast promised
<01696> (8765)
him; and spakest
<01696> (8762)
with thy mouth
<06310>_,
and hast fulfilled
<04390> (8765)
[it] with thine hand
<03027>_,
as [it is] this day
<03117>_.
Now therefore, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
keep
<08104> (8798)
with thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
my father
<01>
that which thou hast promised
<01696> (8765)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
There shall not fail
<03772> (8735)
thee a man
<0376>
in my sight
<06440>
to sit
<03427> (8802)
upon the throne
<03678>
of Israel
<03478>_;
yet so
<07535>
that thy children
<01121>
take heed
<08104> (8799)
to their way
<01870>
to walk
<03212> (8800)
in my law
<08451>_,
as thou hast walked
<01980> (8804)
before
<06440>
me. {There...: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off}
Now then, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
let thy word
<01697>
be verified
<0539> (8735)_,
which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>_.
But will God
<0430>
in very deed
<0552>
dwell
<03427> (8799)
with men
<0120>
on the earth
<0776>_?
behold, heaven
<08064>
and the heaven
<08064>
of heavens
<08064>
cannot contain
<03557> (8770)
thee; how much less this house
<01004>
which I have built
<01129> (8804)_!
Have respect
<06437> (8804)
therefore to 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 the prayer
<08605>
which thy servant
<05650>
prayeth
<06419> (8693)
before
<06440>
thee:
That thine eyes
<05869>
may be open
<06605> (8803)
upon this house
<01004>
day
<03119>
and night
<03915>_,
upon the place
<04725>
whereof thou hast said
<0559> (8804)
that thou wouldest put
<07760> (8800)
thy name
<08034>
there; to hearken
<08085> (8800)
unto the prayer
<08605>
which thy servant
<05650>
prayeth
<06419> (8691)
toward this place
<04725>_.
{toward...: or, in this place}
Hearken
<08085> (8804)
therefore unto the supplications
<08469>
of thy servant
<05650>_,
and of thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
which they shall make
<06419> (8691)
toward this place
<04725>_:
hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)
place
<04725>_,
[even] from heaven
<08064>_;
and when thou hearest
<08085> (8804)_,
forgive
<05545> (8804)_.
{make: Heb. pray} {toward...: or, in this place}
If a man
<0376>
sin
<02398> (8799)
against his neighbour
<07453>_,
and an oath
<0423>
be laid
<05375> (8804)
upon him to make him 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}
Then hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from heaven
<08064>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)_,
and judge
<08199> (8804)
thy servants
<05650>_,
by requiting
<07725> (8687)
the wicked
<07563>_,
by recompensing
<05414> (8800)
his way
<01870>
upon his own head
<07218>_;
and by justifying
<06663> (8687)
the righteous
<06662>_,
by giving
<05414> (8800)
him according to his righteousness
<06666>_.
And if thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
be put to the worse
<05062> (8735)
before
<06440>
the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
because they have sinned
<02398> (8799)
against thee; and shall return
<07725> (8804)
and confess
<03034> (8689)
thy name
<08034>_,
and pray
<06419> (8694)
and make supplication
<02603> (8694)
before
<06440>
thee in this house
<01004>_;
{be put...: or, be smitten} {in: or, toward}
Then hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from the heavens
<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)
to them and to their fathers
<01>_.
When the heaven
<08064>
is shut up
<06113> (8736)_,
and there is no rain
<04306>_,
because they have sinned
<02398> (8799)
against thee; [yet] 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 dost afflict
<06031> (8686)
them; {toward...: or, in this place}
Then hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from heaven
<08064>_,
and forgive
<05545> (8804)
the sin
<02403>
of thy servants
<05650>_,
and of thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
when thou hast taught
<03384> (8686)
them the good
<02896>
way
<01870>_,
wherein they should walk
<03212> (8799)_;
and send
<05414> (8804)
rain
<04306>
upon thy land
<0776>_,
which thou hast given
<05414> (8804)
unto thy people
<05971>
for an inheritance
<05159>_.
If there be dearth
<07458>
in the land

if there be pestilence
<01698>_,
if there be blasting
<07711>_,
or mildew

them in the cities

[Then] what prayer

soever shall be made of any man

Israel

when every one

his own sore

his hands
<03709>
in this house
<01004>_:
{in: or, toward} {toward...: or, in this place}
Then hear

thou from heaven

<0376>
according unto all his ways
<01870>_,
whose heart

thou knowest

(for thou only knowest
<03045> (8804)
the hearts
<03824>
of the children
<01121>
of men
<0120>:)
That they may fear
<03372> (8799)
thee, to walk
<03212> (8800)
in thy ways
<01870>_,
so long as
<03117>
they live

{so long...: Heb. all the days which} {in the land: Heb. upon the face of the land}
Moreover concerning the stranger

according to all that the stranger

against thee, (for [there is] no man
<0120>
which sinneth
<02398> (8799)
not,) and thou be angry
<0599> (8804)
with them, and deliver
<05414> (8804)
them over before
<06440>
[their] enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and they carry them away
<07617> (8804)
captives
<07617> (8802)
unto a land
<0776>
far off
<07350>
or near
<07138>_;
{they carry them away captives: Heb. they that take them captives carry them away}
Yet [if] they bethink
<07725> (8689) <03824>
themselves in the land
<0776>
whither they are carried captive
<07617> (8738)_,
and turn
<07725> (8804)
and pray
<02603> (8694)
unto thee in the land
<0776>
of their captivity
<07628>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
we have done amiss
<05753> (8689)_,
and have dealt wickedly
<07561> (8804)_;
{bethink...: Heb. bring back to their heart}
If they return
<07725> (8804)
to thee with all their heart
<03820>
and with all their soul
<05315>
in the land
<0776>
of their captivity
<07628>_,
whither they have carried them captives
<07617> (8804)_,
and pray
<06419> (8694)
toward
<01870>
their land
<0776>_,
which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
unto their fathers
<01>_,
and [toward] the city
<05892>
which thou hast chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
and toward the house
<01004>
which I have built
<01129> (8804)
for thy name
<08034>_:
Then hear
<08085> (8804)
thou from the heavens
<08064>_,
[even] from thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)
place
<04349>_,
their prayer
<08605>
and their supplications
<08467>_,
and maintain
<06213> (8804)
their cause
<04941>_,
and forgive
<05545> (8804)
thy people
<05971>
which have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against thee. {cause: or, right}
Now, my God
<0430>_,
let, I beseech thee, thine eyes
<05869>
be open
<06605> (8803)_,
and [let] thine ears
<0241>
[be] attent
<07183>
unto the prayer
<08605>
[that is made] in this place
<04725>_.
{unto...: Heb. to the prayer of this place}
Now therefore arise
<06965> (8798)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
into thy resting
<05118>
place, thou, and the ark
<0727>
of thy strength
<05797>_:
let thy priests
<03548>_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
be clothed
<03847> (8799)
with salvation
<08668>_,
and let thy saints
<02623>
rejoice
<08055> (8799)
in goodness
<02896>_.
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_,
turn not away
<07725> (8686)
the face
<06440>
of thine anointed
<04899>_:
remember
<02142> (8798)
the mercies
<02617>
of David
<01732>
thy servant
<05650>_.
Now when Solomon
<08010>
had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of praying
<06419> (8692)_,
the fire
<0784>
came down
<03381> (8804)
from heaven
<08064>_,
and consumed
<0398> (8799)
the burnt offering
<05930>
and the sacrifices
<02077>_;
and the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
filled
<04390> (8804)
the house
<01004>_.
And the priests
<03548>
could
<03201> (8804)
not enter
<0935> (8800)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
because the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
had filled
<04390> (8804)
the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_.
And when all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
saw
<07200> (8802)
how the fire
<0784>
came down
<03381> (8800)_,
and the glory
<03519>
of the LORD
<03068>
upon the house
<01004>_,
they bowed
<03766> (8799)
themselves with their faces
<0639>
to the ground
<0776>
upon the pavement
<07531>_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_,
and praised
<03034> (8687)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[saying], For [he is] good
<02896>_;
for his mercy
<02617>
[endureth] for ever
<05769>_.
Then the king
<04428>
and all the people
<05971>
offered
<02076> (8802)
sacrifices
<02077>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
offered
<02076> (8799)
a sacrifice
<02077>
of twenty
<06242>
and two
<08147>
thousand
<0505>
oxen
<01241>_,
and an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
sheep
<06629>_:
so the king
<04428>
and all the people
<05971>
dedicated
<02596> (8799)
the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
And the priests
<03548>
waited
<05975> (8802)
on their offices
<04931>_:
the Levites
<03881>
also with instruments
<03627>
of musick
<07892>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which David
<01732>
the king
<04428>
had made
<06213> (8804)
to praise
<03034> (8687)
the LORD
<03068>_,
because his mercy
<02617>
[endureth] for ever
<05769>_,
when David
<01732>
praised
<01984> (8763)
by their ministry
<03027>_;
and the priests
<03548>
sounded trumpets
<02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764)
before them, and all Israel
<03478>
stood
<05975> (8802)_.
{by their...: Heb. by their hand}
Moreover Solomon
<08010>
hallowed
<06942> (8762)
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 the fat
<02459>
of the peace offerings
<08002>_,
because the brasen
<05178>
altar
<04196>
which Solomon
<08010>
had made
<06213> (8804)
was not able
<03201> (8804)
to receive
<03557> (8687)
the burnt offerings
<05930>_,
and the meat offerings
<04503>_,
and the fat
<02459>_.
Also at the same time
<06256>
Solomon
<08010>
kept
<06213> (8799)
the feast
<02282>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
congregation
<06951>_,
from the entering in
<0935> (8800)
of Hamath
<02574>
unto the river
<05158>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
And in the eighth
<08066>
day
<03117>
they made
<06213> (8799)
a solemn assembly
<06116>_:
for they kept
<06213> (8804)
the dedication
<02598>
of the altar
<04196>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
and the feast
<02282>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_.
{a solemn...: Heb. a restraint}
And on the three
<07969>
and twentieth
<06242>
day
<03117>
of the seventh
<07637>
month
<02320>
he sent
<07971> (0)
the people
<05971>
away
<07971> (8765)
into their tents
<0168>_,
glad
<08056>
and merry
<02896>
in heart
<03820>
for the goodness
<02896>
that the LORD
<03068>
had shewed
<06213> (8804)
unto David
<01732>_,
and to Solomon
<08010>_,
and to Israel
<03478>
his people
<05971>_.
Thus Solomon
<08010>
finished
<03615> (8762)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_:
and all that came
<0935> (8802)
into Solomon's
<08010>
heart
<03820>
to make
<06213> (8800)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and in his own house
<01004>_,
he prosperously effected
<06743> (8689)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
to Solomon
<08010>
by night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I have heard
<08085> (8804)
thy prayer
<08605>_,
and have chosen
<0977> (8804)
this place
<04725>
to myself for an house
<01004>
of sacrifice
<02077>_.
If
<02005>
I shut up
<06113> (8799)
heaven
<08064>
that there be no rain
<04306>_,
or if I command
<06680> (8762)
the locusts
<02284>
to devour
<0398> (8800)
the land
<0776>_,
or if I send
<07971> (8762)
pestilence
<01698>
among my people
<05971>_;
If my people
<05971>_,
which are called
<07121> (8738)
by my name
<08034>_,
shall humble
<03665> (8735)
themselves, and pray
<06419> (8691)_,
and seek
<01245> (8762)
my face
<06440>_,
and turn
<07725> (8799)
from their wicked
<07451>
ways
<01870>_;
then will I hear
<08085> (8799)
from heaven
<08064>_,
and will forgive
<05545> (8799)
their sin
<02403>_,
and will heal
<07495> (8799)
their land
<0776>_.
{which...: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
Now mine eyes
<05869>
shall be open
<06605> (8803)_,
and mine ears
<0241>
attent
<07183>
unto the prayer
<08605>
[that is made] in this place
<04725>_.
{unto...: Heb. to the prayer of this place}
For now have I chosen
<0977> (8804)
and sanctified
<06942> (8689)
this house
<01004>_,
that my name
<08034>
may be there for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
and mine eyes
<05869>
and mine heart
<03820>
shall be there perpetually
<03117>_.
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)
before
<06440>
me, as David
<01732>
thy father
<01>
walked
<01980> (8804)_,
and do
<06213> (8800)
according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee, and shalt observe
<08104> (8799)
my statutes
<02706>
and my judgments
<04941>_;
Then will I stablish
<06965> (8689)
the throne
<03678>
of thy kingdom
<04438>_,
according as I have covenanted
<03772> (8804)
with David
<01732>
thy father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
There shall not fail
<03772> (8735)
thee a man
<0376>
[to be] ruler
<04910> (8802)
in Israel
<03478>_.
{There...: Heb. There shall not be cut off to thee}
But if ye turn away
<07725> (8799)_,
and forsake
<05800> (8804)
my statutes
<02708>
and my commandments
<04687>_,
which I have set
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
you, and shall go
<01980> (8804)
and serve
<05647> (8804)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and worship
<07812> (8694)
them;
Then will I pluck them up by the roots
<05428> (8804)
out of my land
<0127>
which I have given
<05414> (8804)
them; and this house
<01004>_,
which I have sanctified
<06942> (8689)
for my name
<08034>_,
will I cast out
<07993> (8686)
of my sight
<06440>_,
and will make
<05414> (8799)
it [to be] a proverb
<04912>
and a byword
<08148>
among all nations
<05971>_.
And this house
<01004>_,
which is high
<05945>_,
shall be an astonishment
<08074> (8799)
to every one that passeth
<05674> (8802)
by it; so that he shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
Why hath the LORD
<03068>
done
<06213> (8804)
thus unto this land
<0776>_,
and unto this house
<01004>_?
And it shall be answered
<0559> (8804)_,
Because they forsook
<05800> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_,
which brought them forth
<03318> (8689)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and laid hold
<02388> (8686)
on other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
them, and served
<05647> (8799)
them: therefore hath he brought
<0935> (8689)
all this evil
<07451>
upon them.
And it came to pass at the end
<07093>
of twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>_,
wherein Solomon
<08010>
had built
<01129> (8804)
the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and his own house
<01004>_,
That the cities
<05892>
which Huram
<02361>
had restored
<05414> (8804)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
Solomon
<08010>
built
<01129> (8804)
them, and caused the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
to dwell
<03427> (8686)
there.
And Solomon
<08010>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Hamathzobah
<02578>_,
and prevailed
<02388> (8799)
against it.
And he built
<01129> (8799)
Tadmor
<08412>
in the wilderness
<04057>_,
and all the store
<04543>
cities
<05892>_,
which he built
<01129> (8804)
in Hamath
<02574>_.
Also he built
<01129> (8799)
Bethhoron
<01032>
the upper
<05945>_,
and Bethhoron
<01032>
the nether
<08481>_,
fenced
<04692>
cities
<05892>_,
with walls
<02346>_,
gates
<01817>_,
and bars
<01280>_;
And Baalath
<01191>_,
and all the store
<04543>
cities
<05892>
that Solomon
<08010>
had, and all the chariot
<07393>
cities
<05892>_,
and the cities
<05892>
of the horsemen
<06571>_,
and all that Solomon
<08010>
desired
<02836> (8804) <02837>
to build
<01129> (8800)
in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and in Lebanon
<03844>_,
and throughout all the land
<0776>
of his dominion
<04475>_.
{all that...: Heb. all the desire of Solomon which he desired to build}
[As for] all the people
<05971>
[that were] left
<03498> (8737)
of the Hittites
<02850>_,
and the Amorites
<0567>_,
and the Perizzites
<06522>_,
and the Hivites
<02340>_,
and the Jebusites
<02983>_,
which [were] not of Israel
<03478>_,
[But] of their children
<01121>_,
who were left
<03498> (8738)
after
<0310>
them in the land
<0776>_,
whom the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
consumed
<03615> (8765)
not, them did Solomon
<08010>
make to pay
<05927> (8686)
tribute
<04522>
until this day
<03117>_.
But of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did Solomon
<08010>
make
<05414> (8804)
no servants
<05650>
for his work
<04399>_;
but they [were] men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
and chief
<08269>
of his captains
<07991>_,
and captains
<08269>
of his chariots
<07393>
and horsemen
<06571>_.
And these [were] the chief
<08269>
of king
<04428>
Solomon's
<08010>
officers
<05324> (8737) (8675) <05333>_,
[even] two hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>_,
that bare rule
<07287> (8802)
over the people
<05971>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
brought up
<05927> (8689)
the daughter
<01323>
of Pharaoh
<06547>
out of the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
unto the house
<01004>
that he had built
<01129> (8804)
for her: for he said
<0559> (8804)_,
My wife
<0802>
shall not dwell
<03427> (8799)
in the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
because [the places are] holy
<06944>_,
whereunto the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath come
<0935> (8804)_.
{holy: Heb. holiness}
Then Solomon
<08010>
offered
<05927> (8689)
burnt offerings
<05930>
unto the LORD
<03068>
on the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he had built
<01129> (8804)
before
<06440>
the porch
<0197>_,
Even after a certain rate
<01697>
every day
<03117>_,
offering
<05927> (8687)
according to the commandment
<04687>
of Moses
<04872>_,
on the sabbaths
<07676>_,
and on the new moons
<02320>_,
and on the solemn feasts
<04150>_,
three
<07969>
times
<06471>
in the year
<08141>_,
[even] in the feast
<02282>
of unleavened bread
<04682>_,
and in the feast
<02282>
of weeks
<07620>_,
and in the feast
<02282>
of tabernacles
<05521>_.
And he appointed
<05975> (8686)_,
according to the order
<04941>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_,
the courses
<04256>
of the priests
<03548>
to their service
<05656>_,
and the Levites
<03881>
to their charges
<04931>_,
to praise
<01984> (8763)
and minister
<08334> (8763)
before the priests
<03548>_,
as the duty
<01697>
of every day
<03117>
required
<03117>_:
the porters
<07778>
also by their courses
<04256>
at every gate
<08179>_:
for so had David
<01732>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
commanded
<04687>_.
{so had David...: Heb. so was the commandment of David the man of God}
And they departed
<05493> (8804)
not from the commandment
<04687>
of the king
<04428>
unto the priests
<03548>
and Levites
<03881>
concerning any matter
<01697>_,
or concerning the treasures
<0214>_.
Now all the work
<04399>
of Solomon
<08010>
was prepared
<03559> (8735)
unto the day
<03117>
of the foundation
<04143>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and until it was finished
<03615> (8800)_.
[So] the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
was perfected
<08003>_.
Then went
<01980> (8804)
Solomon
<08010>
to Eziongeber
<06100>_,
and to Eloth
<0359>_,
at the sea
<03220>
side
<08193>
in the land
<0776>
of Edom
<0123>_.
{Eloth: also called, Elath}
And Huram
<02361>
sent
<07971> (8799)
him by the hands
<03027>
of his servants
<05650>
ships
<0591> (8675) <0591>_,
and servants
<05650>
that had knowledge
<03045> (8802)
of the sea
<03220>_;
and they went
<0935> (8799)
with the servants
<05650>
of Solomon
<08010>
to Ophir
<0211>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
thence four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
and fifty
<02572>
talents
<03603>
of gold
<02091>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
[them] to king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>_.
And when the queen
<04436>
of Sheba
<07614>
heard
<08085> (8804)
of the fame
<08088>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
she came
<0935> (8799)
to prove
<05254> (8763)
Solomon
<08010>
with hard questions
<02420>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_,
with a very
<03966>
great
<03515>
company
<02428>_,
and camels
<01581>
that bare
<05375> (8802)
spices
<01314>_,
and gold
<02091>
in abundance
<07230>_,
and precious
<03368>
stones
<068>_:
and when she was come
<0935> (8799)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
she communed
<01696> (8762)
with him of all that was in her heart
<03824>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
told
<05046> (8686)
her all her questions
<01697>_:
and there was nothing hid
<05956> (8738)
from Solomon
<08010>
which he told
<05046> (8689)
her not.
And when the queen
<04436>
of Sheba
<07614>
had seen
<07200> (8799)
the wisdom
<02451>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
and the house
<01004>
that he had built
<01129> (8804)_,
And the meat
<03978>
of his table
<07979>_,
and the sitting
<04186>
of his servants
<05650>_,
and the attendance
<04612>
of his ministers
<08334> (8764)_,
and their apparel
<04403>_;
his cupbearers
<08248> (8688)
also, and their apparel
<04403>_;
and his ascent
<05944>
by which he went up
<05927> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
there was no more spirit
<07307>
in her. {cupbearers: or, butlers}
And she said
<0559> (8799)
to the king
<04428>_,
[It was] a true
<0571>
report
<01697>
which I heard
<08085> (8804)
in mine own land
<0776>
of thine acts
<01697>_,
and of thy wisdom
<02451>_:
{report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}
Howbeit I believed
<0539> (8689)
not their words
<01697>_,
until I came
<0935> (8804)_,
and mine eyes
<05869>
had seen
<07200> (8799)
[it]: and, behold, the one half
<02677>
of the greatness
<04768>
of thy wisdom
<02451>
was not told
<05046> (8717)
me: [for] thou exceedest
<03254> (8804)
the fame
<08052>
that I heard
<08085> (8804)_.
Happy
<0835>
[are] thy men
<0582>_,
and happy
<0835>
[are] these thy servants
<05650>_,
which stand
<05975> (8802)
continually
<08548>
before
<06440>
thee, and hear
<08085> (8802)
thy wisdom
<02451>_.
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
be the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
which delighted
<02654> (8804)
in thee to set
<05414> (8800)
thee on his throne
<03678>_,
[to be] king
<04428>
for the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_:
because thy God
<0430>
loved
<0160>
Israel
<03478>_,
to establish
<05975> (8687)
them for ever
<05769>_,
therefore made
<05414> (8799)
he thee king
<04428>
over them, to do
<06213> (8800)
judgment
<04941>
and justice
<06666>_.
And she gave
<05414> (8799)
the king
<04428>
an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
talents
<03603>
of gold
<02091>_,
and of spices
<01314>
great
<03966>
abundance
<07230>_,
and precious
<03368>
stones
<068>_:
neither was there any such spice
<01314>
as the queen
<04436>
of Sheba
<07614>
gave
<05414> (8804)
king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>_.
And the servants
<05650>
also of Huram
<02361>_,
and the servants
<05650>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
which brought
<0935> (8689)
gold
<02091>
from Ophir
<0211>_,
brought
<0935> (8689)
algum
<0418>
trees
<06086>
and precious
<03368>
stones
<068>_.
{algum...: also called, almug trees}
And the king
<04428>
made
<06213> (8799)
[of] the algum
<0418>
trees
<06086>
terraces
<04546>
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and to the king's
<04428>
palace
<01004>_,
and harps
<03658>
and psalteries
<05035>
for singers
<07891> (8802)_:
and there were none such
<01992>
seen
<07200> (8738)
before
<06440>
in the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_.
{terraces: or, stairs: Heb. highways}
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
gave
<05414> (8804)
to the queen
<04436>
of Sheba
<07614>
all her desire
<02656>_,
whatsoever she asked
<07592> (8804)_,
beside [that] which she had brought
<0935> (8689)
unto the king
<04428>_.
So she turned
<02015> (8799)_,
and went away
<03212> (8799)
to her own land
<0776>_,
she and her servants
<05650>_.
Now the weight
<04948>
of gold
<02091>
that came
<0935> (8804)
to Solomon
<08010>
in one
<0259>
year
<08141>
was six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
and threescore
<08346>
and six
<08337>
talents
<03603>
of gold
<02091>_;
Beside [that which] chapmen
<0582> <08446> (8802)
and merchants
<05503> (8802)
brought
<0935> (8688)_.
And all the kings
<04428>
of Arabia
<06152>
and governors
<06346>
of the country
<0776>
brought
<0935> (8688)
gold
<02091>
and silver
<03701>
to Solomon
<08010>_.
{governors: or, captains}
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
made
<06213> (8799)
two hundred
<03967>
targets
<06793>
[of] beaten
<07820> (8803)
gold
<02091>_:
six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of beaten
<07820> (8803)
gold
<02091>
went
<05927> (8686)
to one
<0259>
target
<06793>_.
And three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
shields
<04043>
[made he of] beaten
<07820> (8803)
gold
<02091>_:
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of gold
<02091>
went
<05927> (8686)
to one
<0259>
shield
<04043>_.
And the king
<04428>
put
<05414> (8799)
them in the house
<01004>
of the forest
<03293>
of Lebanon
<03844>_.
Moreover the king
<04428>
made
<06213> (8799)
a great
<01419>
throne
<03678>
of ivory
<08127>_,
and overlaid
<06823> (8762)
it with pure
<02889>
gold
<02091>_.
And [there were] six
<08337>
steps
<04609>
to the throne
<03678>_,
with a footstool
<03534>
of gold
<02091>_,
[which were] fastened
<0270> (8716)
to the throne
<03678>_,
and stays
<03027>
on each side of the sitting
<03427> (8800)
place
<04725>_,
and two
<08147>
lions
<0738>
standing
<05975> (8802)
by
<0681>
the stays
<03027>_:
{stays: Heb. hands}
And twelve
<08147> <06240>
lions
<0738>
stood
<05975> (8802)
there on the one side and on the other upon the six
<08337>
steps
<04609>_.
There was not the like made
<06213> (8738)
in any kingdom
<04467>_.
And all the drinking
<04945>
vessels
<03627>
of king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
[were of] gold
<02091>_,
and all the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of the forest
<03293>
of Lebanon
<03844>
[were of] pure
<05462> (8803)
gold
<02091>_:
none [were of] silver
<03701>_;
it was [not] any
<03972>
thing accounted
<02803> (8737)
of in the days
<03117>
of Solomon
<08010>_.
{pure: Heb. shut up} {none were of silver: or, there was no silver in them}
For the king's
<04428>
ships
<0591>
went
<01980> (8802)
to Tarshish
<08659>
with the servants
<05650>
of Huram
<02361>_:
every three
<07969>
years
<08141>
once
<0259>
came
<0935> (8799)
the ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>
bringing
<05375> (8802)
gold
<02091>_,
and silver
<03701>_,
ivory
<08143>_,
and apes
<06971>_,
and peacocks
<08500>_.
{ivory: or, elephants' teeth}
And king
<04428>
Solomon
<08010>
passed
<01431> (8799)
all the kings
<04428>
of the earth
<0776>
in riches
<06239>
and wisdom
<02451>_.
And all the kings
<04428>
of the earth
<0776>
sought
<01245> (8764)
the presence
<06440>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
to hear
<08085> (8800)
his wisdom
<02451>_,
that God
<0430>
had put
<05414> (8804)
in his heart
<03820>_.
And they brought
<0935> (8688)
every man
<0376>
his present
<04503>_,
vessels
<03627>
of silver
<03701>_,
and vessels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>_,
and raiment
<08008>_,
harness
<05402>_,
and spices
<01314>_,
horses
<05483>_,
and mules
<06505>_,
a rate
<01697>
year
<08141>
by year
<08141>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
had four
<0702>
thousand
<0505>
stalls
<0723>
for horses
<05483>
and chariots
<04818>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
horsemen
<06571>_;
whom he bestowed
<03240> (8686)
in the chariot
<07393>
cities
<05892>_,
and with the king
<04428>
at Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And he reigned
<04910> (8802)
over all the kings
<04428>
from the river
<05104>
even unto the land
<0776>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and to the border
<01366>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{river: that is, Euphrates}
And the king
<04428>
made
<05414> (8799)
silver
<03701>
in Jerusalem
<03389>
as stones
<068>_,
and cedar trees
<0730>
made
<05414> (8804)
he as the sycomore trees
<08256>
that [are] in the low plains
<08219>
in abundance
<07230>_.
{made silver: Heb. gave silver}
And they brought
<03318> (8688)
unto Solomon
<08010>
horses
<05483>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and out of all lands
<0776>_.
Now the rest
<07605>
of the acts
<01697>
of Solomon
<08010>_,
first
<07223>
and last
<0314>_,
[are] they not written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<01697>
of Nathan
<05416>
the prophet
<05030>_,
and in the prophecy
<05016>
of Ahijah
<0281>
the Shilonite
<07888>_,
and in the visions
<02378>
of Iddo
<03260>
the seer
<02374>
against Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_?
{book: Heb. words}
And Solomon
<08010>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
over all Israel
<03478>
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
slept
<07901> (8799)
with his fathers
<01>_,
and he was buried
<06912> (8799)
in the city
<05892>
of David
<01732>
his father
<01>_:
and Rehoboam
<07346>
his son
<01121>
reigned
<04427> (8799)
in his stead.
