8:1 Then Solomon [H8010] assembled [H6950] the elders [H2205] of Israel [H3478] , and all the heads [H7218] of the tribes [H4294] , the chief [H5387] of the fathers [H1] of the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] , unto king [H4428] Solomon [H8010] in Jerusalem [H3389] , that they might bring up [H5927] the ark [H727] of the covenant [H1285] of the LORD [H3068] out of the city [H5892] of David [H1732] , which [is] Zion [H6726] .(chief: Heb. princes)

8:2 And all the men [H376] of Israel [H3478] assembled [H6950] themselves unto king [H4428] Solomon [H8010] at the feast [H2282] in the month [H3391] Ethanim [H388] , which [is] the seventh [H7637] month [H2320] .

8:3 And all the elders [H2205] of Israel [H3478] came [H935] , and the priests [H3548] took up [H5375] the ark [H727] .

8:4 And they brought up [H5927] the ark [H727] of the LORD [H3068] , and the tabernacle [H168] of the congregation [H4150] , and all the holy [H6944] vessels [H3627] that [were] in the tabernacle [H168] , even those did the priests [H3548] and the Levites [H3881] bring up [H5927] .

8:5 And king [H4428] Solomon [H8010] , and all the congregation [H5712] of Israel [H3478] , that were assembled [H3259] unto him, [were] with him before [H6440] the ark [H727] , sacrificing [H2076] sheep [H6629] and oxen [H1241] , that could not be told [H5608] nor numbered [H4487] for multitude [H7230] .

8:6 And the priests [H3548] brought in [H935] the ark [H727] of the covenant [H1285] of the LORD [H3068] unto his place [H4725] , into the oracle [H1687] of the house [H1004] , to the most [H6944] holy [H6944] [place, even] under the wings [H3671] of the cherubims [H3742] .

8:7 For the cherubims [H3742] spread forth [H6566] [their] two wings [H3671] over the place [H4725] of the ark [H727] , and the cherubims [H3742] covered [H5526] the ark [H727] and the staves [H905] thereof above [H4605] .

8:8 And they drew out [H748] the staves [H905] , that the ends [H7218] of the staves [H905] were seen out [H7200] in the holy [H6944] [place] before [H6440] the oracle [H1687] , and they were not seen [H7200] without [H2351] : and there they are unto this day [H3117] .(ends: Heb. heads)(holy: or, ark)

8:9 [There was] nothing in the ark [H727] save [H7535] the two [H8147] tables [H3871] of stone [H68] , which Moses [H4872] put [H3240] there at Horeb [H2722] , when the LORD [H3068] made [H3772] [a covenant] with the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] , when they came out [H3318] of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] .(when the: or, where the)

8:10 And it came to pass, when the priests [H3548] were come out [H3318] of the holy [H6944] [place], that the cloud [H6051] filled [H4390] the house [H1004] of the LORD [H3068] ,

8:11 So that the priests [H3548] could [H3201] not stand [H5975] to minister [H8334] because [H6440] of the cloud [H6051] : for the glory [H3519] of the LORD [H3068] had filled [H4390] the house [H1004] of the LORD [H3068] .

8:12 Then spake [H559] Solomon [H8010] , The LORD [H3068] said [H559] that he would dwell [H7931] in the thick darkness [H6205] .

8:13 I have surely [H1129] built [H1129] thee an house [H1004] to dwell in [H2073] , a settled place [H4349] for thee to abide in [H3427] for ever [H5769] .

8:14 And the king [H4428] turned [H5437] his face [H6440] about [H5437] , and blessed [H1288] all the congregation [H6951] of Israel [H3478] : (and all the congregation [H6951] of Israel [H3478] stood [H5975] ;)

8:15 And he said [H559] , Blessed [H1288] [be] the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] , which spake [H1696] with his mouth [H6310] unto David [H1732] my father [H1] , and hath with his hand [H3027] fulfilled [H4390] [it], saying [H559] ,

8:16 Since the day [H3117] that I brought forth [H3318] my people [H5971] Israel [H3478] out of Egypt [H4714] , I chose [H977] no city [H5892] out of all the tribes [H7626] of Israel [H3478] to build [H1129] an house [H1004] , that my name [H8034] might be therein; but I chose [H977] David [H1732] to be over my people [H5971] Israel [H3478] .

8:17 And it was in the heart [H3824] of David [H1732] my father [H1] to build [H1129] an house [H1004] for the name [H8034] of the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] .

8:18 And the LORD [H3068] said [H559] unto David [H1732] my father [H1] , Whereas [H3282] [H834] it was in thine heart [H3824] to build [H1129] an house [H1004] unto my name [H8034] , thou didst well [H2895] that it was in thine heart [H3824] .

8:19 Nevertheless [H7535] thou shalt not build [H1129] the house [H1004] ; but thy son [H1121] that shall come forth out [H3318] of thy loins [H2504] , he shall build [H1129] the house [H1004] unto my name [H8034] .

8:20 And the LORD [H3068] hath performed [H6965] his word [H1697] that he spake [H1696] , and I am risen up [H6965] in the room of David [H1732] my father [H1] , and sit [H3427] on the throne [H3678] of Israel [H3478] , as the LORD [H3068] promised [H1696] , and have built [H1129] an house [H1004] for the name [H8034] of the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] .

8:21 And I have set [H7760] there a place [H4725] for the ark [H727] , wherein [is] the covenant [H1285] of the LORD [H3068] , which he made [H3772] with our fathers [H1] , when he brought them out [H3318] of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] .

8:22 And Solomon [H8010] stood [H5975] before [H6440] the altar [H4196] of the LORD [H3068] in the presence of [H5048] all the congregation [H6951] of Israel [H3478] , and spread forth [H6566] his hands [H3709] toward heaven [H8064] :

8:23 And he said [H559] , LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] , [there is] no God [H430] like thee, in heaven [H8064] above [H4605] , or on earth [H776] beneath, who keepest [H8104] covenant [H1285] and mercy [H2617] with thy servants [H5650] that walk [H1980] before [H6440] thee with all their heart [H3820] :

8:24 Who hast kept [H8104] with thy servant [H5650] David [H1732] my father [H1] that thou promisedst [H1696] him: thou spakest [H1696] also with thy mouth [H6310] , and hast fulfilled [H4390] [it] with thine hand [H3027] , as [it is] this day [H3117] .

8:25 Therefore now, LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] , keep [H8104] with thy servant [H5650] David [H1732] my father [H1] that thou promisedst [H1696] him, saying [H559] , There shall not fail [H3772] thee a man [H376] in my sight [H6440] to sit [H3427] on the throne [H3678] of Israel [H3478] ; so [H7535] that thy children [H1121] take heed [H8104] to their way [H1870] , that they walk [H3212] before [H6440] me as thou hast walked [H1980] before [H6440] me.(fail: Heb. be cut off unto thee a man from my sight)(so that: Heb. only if)

8:26 And now, O God [H430] of Israel [H3478] , let thy word [H1697] , I pray thee, be verified [H539] , which thou spakest [H1696] unto thy servant [H5650] David [H1732] my father [H1] .

8:27 But will God [H430] indeed [H552] dwell [H3427] on the earth [H776] ? behold, the heaven [H8064] and heaven [H8064] of heavens [H8064] cannot contain [H3557] thee; how much less [H637] this house [H1004] that I have builded [H1129] ?

8:28 Yet have thou respect [H6437] unto the prayer [H8605] of thy servant [H5650] , and to his supplication [H8467] , O LORD [H3068] my God [H430] , to hearken [H8085] unto the cry [H7440] and to the prayer [H8605] , which thy servant [H5650] prayeth [H6419] before [H6440] thee to day [H3117] :

8:29 That thine eyes [H5869] may be open [H6605] toward this house [H1004] night [H3915] and day [H3117] , [even] toward the place [H4725] of which thou hast said [H559] , My name [H8034] shall be there: that thou mayest hearken [H8085] unto the prayer [H8605] which thy servant [H5650] shall make [H6419] toward this place [H4725] .(toward this place: or, in this place)

8:30 And hearken [H8085] thou to the supplication [H8467] of thy servant [H5650] , and of thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , when they shall pray [H6419] toward this place [H4725] : and hear [H8085] thou in heaven [H8064] thy dwelling [H3427] place [H4725] : and when thou hearest [H8085] , forgive [H5545] .(toward this place: or, in this place)

8:31 If any man [H376] trespass [H2398] against his neighbour [H7453] , and an oath [H423] be laid [H5375] upon him to cause him to swear [H422] , and the oath [H423] come [H935] before [H6440] thine altar [H4196] in this house [H1004] :(and an oath: Heb. and he require an oath of him)

8:32 Then hear [H8085] thou in heaven [H8064] , and do [H6213] , and judge [H8199] thy servants [H5650] , condemning [H7561] the wicked [H7563] , to bring [H5414] his way [H1870] upon his head [H7218] ; and justifying [H6663] the righteous [H6662] , to give [H5414] him according to his righteousness [H6666] .

8:33 When thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] be smitten down [H5062] before [H6440] the enemy [H341] , because they have sinned [H2398] against thee, and shall turn again [H7725] to thee, and confess [H3034] thy name [H8034] , and pray [H6419] , and make supplication [H2603] unto thee in this house [H1004] :(in: or, toward)

8:34 Then hear [H8085] thou in heaven [H8064] , and forgive [H5545] the sin [H2403] of thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , and bring them again [H7725] unto the land [H127] which thou gavest [H5414] unto their fathers [H1] .

8:35 When heaven [H8064] is shut up [H6113] , and there is no rain [H4306] , because they have sinned [H2398] against thee; if they pray [H6419] toward this place [H4725] , and confess [H3034] thy name [H8034] , and turn [H7725] from their sin [H2403] , when thou afflictest [H6031] them:

8:36 Then hear [H8085] thou in heaven [H8064] , and forgive [H5545] the sin [H2403] of thy servants [H5650] , and of thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , that thou teach [H3384] them the good [H2896] way [H1870] wherein they should walk [H3212] , and give [H5414] rain [H4306] upon thy land [H776] , which thou hast given [H5414] to thy people [H5971] for an inheritance [H5159] .

8:37 If there be in the land [H776] famine [H7458] , if there be pestilence [H1698] , blasting [H7711] , mildew [H3420] , locust [H697] , [or] if there be caterpiller [H2625] ; if their enemy [H341] besiege [H6887] them in the land [H776] of their cities [H8179] ; whatsoever plague [H5061] , whatsoever sickness [H4245] [there be];(cities: or, jurisdiction)

8:38 What prayer [H8605] and supplication [H8467] soever be [made] by any man [H120] , [or] by all thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , which shall know [H3045] every man [H376] the plague [H5061] of his own heart [H3824] , and spread forth [H6566] his hands [H3709] toward this house [H1004] :

8:39 Then hear [H8085] thou in heaven [H8064] thy dwelling [H3427] place [H4349] , and forgive [H5545] , and do [H6213] , and give [H5414] to every man [H376] according to his ways [H1870] , whose heart [H3824] thou knowest [H3045] ; (for thou, [even] thou only, knowest [H3045] the hearts [H3824] of all the children [H1121] of men [H120] ;)

8:40 That they may fear [H3372] thee all the days [H3117] that they live [H2416] in [H6440] the land [H127] which thou gavest [H5414] unto our fathers [H1] .

8:41 Moreover concerning a stranger [H5237] , that [is] not of thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , but cometh out [H935] of a far [H7350] country [H776] for [H4616] thy name's [H8034] sake;

8:42 (For they shall hear [H8085] of thy great [H1419] name [H8034] , and of thy strong [H2389] hand [H3027] , and of thy stretched out [H5186] arm [H2220] ;) when he shall come [H935] and pray [H6419] toward this house [H1004] ;

8:43 Hear [H8085] thou in heaven [H8064] thy dwelling [H3427] place [H4349] , and do [H6213] according to all that the stranger [H5237] calleth [H7121] to thee for: that all people [H5971] of the earth [H776] may know [H3045] thy name [H8034] , to fear [H3372] thee, as [do] thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] ; and that they may know [H3045] that this house [H1004] , which I have builded [H1129] , is called [H7121] by thy name [H8034] .(this: Heb. thy name is called upon this house)

8:44 If thy people [H5971] go out [H3318] to battle [H4421] against their enemy [H341] , whithersoever [H1870] thou shalt send [H7971] them, and shall pray [H6419] unto the LORD [H3068] toward [H1870] the city [H5892] which thou hast chosen [H977] , and [toward] the house [H1004] that I have built [H1129] for thy name [H8034] :(toward the city: Heb. the way of the city)

8:45 Then hear [H8085] thou in heaven [H8064] their prayer [H8605] and their supplication [H8467] , and maintain [H6213] their cause [H4941] .(cause: or, right)

8:46 If they sin [H2398] against thee, (for [there is] no man [H120] that sinneth [H2398] not,) and thou be angry [H599] with them, and deliver [H5414] them to the enemy [H341] , so that they carry them away [H7617] captives [H7617] unto [H6440] the land [H776] of the enemy [H341] , far [H7350] or near [H7138] ;

8:47 [Yet] if they shall bethink [H7725] themselves in the land [H776] whither they were carried captives [H7617] , and repent [H7725] [H3820] , and make supplication [H2603] unto thee in the land [H776] of them that carried them captives [H7617] , saying [H559] , We have sinned [H2398] , and have done perversely [H5753] , we have committed wickedness [H7561] ;(bethink: Heb. bring back to their heart)

8:48 And [so] return [H7725] unto thee with all their heart [H3824] , and with all their soul [H5315] , in the land [H776] of their enemies [H341] , which led them away captive [H7617] , and pray [H6419] unto thee toward [H1870] their land [H776] , which thou gavest [H5414] unto their fathers [H1] , the city [H5892] which thou hast chosen [H977] , and the house [H1004] which I have built [H1129] for thy name [H8034] :

8:49 Then hear [H8085] thou their prayer [H8605] and their supplication [H8467] in heaven [H8064] thy dwelling [H3427] place [H4349] , and maintain [H6213] their cause [H4941] ,(cause: or, right)

8:50 And forgive [H5545] thy people [H5971] that have sinned [H2398] against thee, and all their transgressions [H6588] wherein they have transgressed [H6586] against thee, and give [H5414] them compassion [H7356] before [H6440] them who carried them captive [H7617] , that they may have compassion [H7355] on them:

8:51 For they [be] thy people [H5971] , and thine inheritance [H5159] , which thou broughtest forth [H3318] out of Egypt [H4714] , from the midst [H8432] of the furnace [H3564] of iron [H1270] :

8:52 That thine eyes [H5869] may be open [H6605] unto the supplication [H8467] of thy servant [H5650] , and unto the supplication [H8467] of thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , to hearken [H8085] unto them in all that they call [H7121] for unto thee.

8:53 For thou didst separate [H914] them from among all the people [H5971] of the earth [H776] , [to be] thine inheritance [H5159] , as thou spakest [H1696] by the hand [H3027] of Moses [H4872] thy servant [H5650] , when thou broughtest [H3318] our fathers [H1] out of Egypt [H4714] , O Lord [H136] GOD [H3069] .

8:54 And it was [so], that when Solomon [H8010] had made an end [H3615] of praying [H6419] all this prayer [H8605] and supplication [H8467] unto the LORD [H3068] , he arose [H6965] from before [H6440] the altar [H4196] of the LORD [H3068] , from kneeling [H3766] on his knees [H1290] with his hands [H3709] spread up [H6566] to heaven [H8064] .

8:55 And he stood [H5975] , and blessed [H1288] all the congregation [H6951] of Israel [H3478] with a loud [H1419] voice [H6963] , saying [H559] ,

8:56 Blessed [H1288] [be] the LORD [H3068] , that hath given [H5414] rest [H4496] unto his people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , according to all that he promised [H1696] : there hath not failed [H5307] one [H259] word [H1697] of all his good [H2896] promise [H1697] , which he promised [H1696] by the hand [H3027] of Moses [H4872] his servant [H5650] .(failed: Heb. fallen)

8:57 The LORD [H3068] our God [H430] be with us, as he was with our fathers [H1] : let him not leave [H5800] us, nor forsake [H5203] us:

8:58 That he may incline [H5186] our hearts [H3824] unto him, to walk [H3212] in all his ways [H1870] , and to keep [H8104] his commandments [H4687] , and his statutes [H2706] , and his judgments [H4941] , which he commanded [H6680] our fathers [H1] .

8:59 And let these my words [H1697] , wherewith I have made supplication [H2603] before [H6440] the LORD [H3068] , be nigh [H7138] unto the LORD [H3068] our God [H430] day [H3119] and night [H3915] , that he maintain [H6213] the cause [H4941] of his servant [H5650] , and the cause [H4941] of his people [H5971] Israel [H3478] at all times [H3117] [H3117] , as the matter [H1697] shall require:(at all: Heb. the thing of a day in his day)

8:60 That all the people [H5971] of the earth [H776] may know [H3045] that the LORD [H3068] [is] God [H430] , [and that there is] none else.

8:61 Let your heart [H3824] therefore be perfect [H8003] with the LORD [H3068] our God [H430] , to walk [H3212] in his statutes [H2706] , and to keep [H8104] his commandments [H4687] , as at this day [H3117] .

8:62 And the king [H4428] , and all Israel [H3478] with him, offered [H2076] sacrifice [H2077] before [H6440] the LORD [H3068] .

8:63 And Solomon [H8010] offered [H2076] a sacrifice [H2077] of peace offerings [H8002] , which he offered [H2076] unto the LORD [H3068] , two [H8147] and twenty [H6242] thousand [H505] oxen [H1241] , and an hundred [H3967] and twenty [H6242] thousand [H505] sheep [H6629] . So the king [H4428] and all the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] dedicated [H2596] the house [H1004] of the LORD [H3068] .

8:64 The same day [H3117] did the king [H4428] hallow [H6942] the middle [H8432] of the court [H2691] that [was] before [H6440] the house [H1004] of the LORD [H3068] : for there he offered [H6213] burnt offerings [H5930] , and meat offerings [H4503] , and the fat [H2459] of the peace offerings [H8002] : because the brasen [H5178] altar [H4196] that [was] before [H6440] the LORD [H3068] [was] too little [H6996] to receive [H3557] the burnt offerings [H5930] , and meat offerings [H4503] , and the fat [H2459] of the peace offerings [H8002] .

8:65 And at that time [H6256] Solomon [H8010] held [H6213] a feast [H2282] , and all Israel [H3478] with him, a great [H1419] congregation [H6951] , from the entering [H935] in of Hamath [H2574] unto the river [H5158] of Egypt [H4714] , before [H6440] the LORD [H3068] our God [H430] , seven [H7651] days [H3117] and seven [H7651] days [H3117] , [even] fourteen [H702] [H6240] days [H3117] .

8:66 On the eighth [H8066] day [H3117] he sent [H7971] the people [H5971] away [H7971] : and they blessed [H1288] the king [H4428] , and went [H3212] unto their tents [H168] joyful [H8056] and glad [H2896] of heart [H3820] for all the goodness [H2896] that the LORD [H3068] had done [H6213] for David [H1732] his servant [H5650] , and for Israel [H3478] his people [H5971] .(blessed: or, thanked)
