6:1 Then said [H559] Solomon [H8010] , The LORD [H3068] hath said [H559] that he would dwell [H7931] in the thick darkness [H6205] .

6:2 But I have built [H1129] an house [H1004] of habitation [H2073] for thee, and a place [H4349] for thy dwelling [H3427] for ever [H5769] .

6:3 And the king [H4428] turned [H5437] his face [H6440] , and blessed [H1288] the whole congregation [H6951] of Israel [H3478] : and all the congregation [H6951] of Israel [H3478] stood [H5975] .

6:4 And he said [H559] , Blessed [H1288] [be] the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] , who hath with his hands [H3027] fulfilled [H4390] [that] which he spake [H1696] with his mouth [H6310] to my father [H1] David [H1732] , saying [H559] ,

6:5 Since the day [H3117] that I brought forth [H3318] my people [H5971] out of the land [H776] of Egypt [H4714] I chose [H977] no city [H5892] among all the tribes [H7626] of Israel [H3478] to build [H1129] an house [H1004] in, that my name [H8034] might be there; neither chose [H977] I any man [H376] to be a ruler [H5057] over my people [H5971] Israel [H3478] :

6:6 But I have chosen [H977] Jerusalem [H3389] , that my name [H8034] might be there; and have chosen [H977] David [H1732] to be over my people [H5971] Israel [H3478] .

6:7 Now 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] .

6:8 But the LORD [H3068] said [H559] to David [H1732] my father [H1] , Forasmuch as it was in thine heart [H3824] to build [H1129] an house [H1004] for my name [H8034] , thou didst well [H2895] in that it was in thine heart [H3824] :

6:9 Notwithstanding [H7535] thou shalt not build [H1129] the house [H1004] ; but thy son [H1121] which shall come forth [H3318] out of thy loins [H2504] , he shall build [H1129] the house [H1004] for my name [H8034] .

6:10 The LORD [H3068] therefore hath performed [H6965] his word [H1697] that he hath spoken [H1696] : for I am risen up [H6965] in the room of David [H1732] my father [H1] , and am set [H3427] on the throne [H3678] of Israel [H3478] , as the LORD [H3068] promised [H1696] , and have built [H1129] the house [H1004] for the name [H8034] of the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] .

6:11 And in it [H8033] have I put [H7760] the ark [H727] , wherein [is] the covenant [H1285] of the LORD [H3068] , that he made [H3772] with the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] .

6:12 And he stood [H5975] before [H6440] the altar [H4196] of the LORD [H3068] in the presence of all the congregation [H6951] of Israel [H3478] , and spread forth [H6566] his hands [H3709] :

6:13 For Solomon [H8010] had made [H6213] a brasen [H5178] scaffold [H3595] , of five [H2568] cubits [H520] long [H753] , and five [H2568] cubits [H520] broad [H7341] , and three [H7969] cubits [H520] high [H6967] , and had set [H5414] it in the midst [H8432] of the court [H5835] : and upon it he stood [H5975] , and kneeled down [H1288] upon his knees [H1290] before all the congregation [H6951] of Israel [H3478] , and spread forth [H6566] his hands [H3709] toward heaven [H8064] ,(long: Heb. the length thereof, etc)

6:14 And said [H559] , O LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] , [there is] no God [H430] like thee in the heaven [H8064] , nor in the earth [H776] ; which keepest [H8104] covenant [H1285] , and [shewest] mercy [H2617] unto thy servants [H5650] , that walk [H1980] before [H6440] thee with all their hearts [H3820] :

6:15 Thou which hast kept [H8104] with thy servant [H5650] David [H1732] my father [H1] that which thou hast promised [H1696] him; and spakest [H1696] with thy mouth [H6310] , and hast fulfilled [H4390] [it] with thine hand [H3027] , as [it is] this day [H3117] .

6:16 Now therefore, O LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] , keep [H8104] with thy servant [H5650] David [H1732] my father [H1] that which thou hast promised [H1696] him, saying [H559] , There shall not fail [H3772] thee a man [H376] in my sight [H6440] to sit [H3427] upon the throne [H3678] of Israel [H3478] ; yet so [H7535] that thy children [H1121] take heed [H8104] to their way [H1870] to walk [H3212] in my law [H8451] , as thou hast walked [H1980] before [H6440] me.(There: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off)

6:17 Now then, O LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] , let thy word [H1697] be verified [H539] , which thou hast spoken [H1696] unto thy servant [H5650] David [H1732] .

6:18 But will God [H430] in very deed [H552] dwell [H3427] with men [H120] on the earth [H776] ? behold, heaven [H8064] and the heaven [H8064] of heavens [H8064] cannot contain [H3557] thee; how much less this house [H1004] which I have built [H1129] !

6:19 Have respect [H6437] therefore to 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 the prayer [H8605] which thy servant [H5650] prayeth [H6419] before [H6440] thee:

6:20 That thine eyes [H5869] may be open [H6605] upon this house [H1004] day [H3119] and night [H3915] , upon the place [H4725] whereof thou hast said [H559] that thou wouldest put [H7760] thy name [H8034] there; to hearken [H8085] unto the prayer [H8605] which thy servant [H5650] prayeth [H6419] toward this place [H4725] .(toward: or, in this place)

6:21 Hearken [H8085] therefore unto the supplications [H8469] of thy servant [H5650] , and of thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , which they shall make [H6419] toward this place [H4725] : hear [H8085] thou from thy dwelling [H3427] place [H4725] , [even] from heaven [H8064] ; and when thou hearest [H8085] , forgive [H5545] .(make: Heb. pray)

6:22 If a man [H376] sin [H2398] against his neighbour [H7453] , and an oath [H423] be laid [H5375] upon him to make him 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)

6:23 Then hear [H8085] thou from heaven [H8064] , and do [H6213] , and judge [H8199] thy servants [H5650] , by requiting [H7725] the wicked [H7563] , by recompensing [H5414] his way [H1870] upon his own head [H7218] ; and by justifying [H6663] the righteous [H6662] , by giving [H5414] him according to his righteousness [H6666] .

6:24 And if thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] be put to the worse [H5062] before [H6440] the enemy [H341] , because they have sinned [H2398] against thee; and shall return [H7725] and confess [H3034] thy name [H8034] , and pray [H6419] and make supplication [H2603] before [H6440] thee in this house [H1004] ;(be put: or, be smitten)(in: or, towards)

6:25 Then hear [H8085] thou from the heavens [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] to them and to their fathers [H1] .

6:26 When the heaven [H8064] is shut up [H6113] , and there is no rain [H4306] , because they have sinned [H2398] against thee; [yet] if they pray [H6419] toward this place [H4725] , and confess [H3034] thy name [H8034] , and turn [H7725] from their sin [H2403] , when thou dost afflict [H6031] them;

6:27 Then hear [H8085] thou from heaven [H8064] , and forgive [H5545] the sin [H2403] of thy servants [H5650] , and of thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , when thou hast taught [H3384] them the good [H2896] way [H1870] , wherein they should walk [H3212] ; and send [H5414] rain [H4306] upon thy land [H776] , which thou hast given [H5414] unto thy people [H5971] for an inheritance [H5159] .

6:28 If there be dearth [H7458] in the land [H776] , if there be pestilence [H1698] , if there be blasting [H7711] , or mildew [H3420] , locusts [H697] , or caterpillers [H2625] ; if their enemies [H341] besiege [H6887] them in the cities [H8179] of their land [H776] ; whatsoever sore [H5061] or whatsoever sickness [H4245] [there be]:(in the cities: Heb. in the land of their gates)

6:29 [Then] what prayer [H8605] [or] what supplication [H8467] soever shall be made of any man [H120] , or of all thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , when every one [H376] shall know [H3045] his own sore [H5061] and his own grief [H4341] , and shall spread forth [H6566] his hands [H3709] in this house [H1004] :(in: or, toward this house)

6:30 Then hear [H8085] thou from heaven [H8064] thy dwelling [H3427] place [H4349] , and forgive [H5545] , and render [H5414] unto every man [H376] according unto all his ways [H1870] , whose heart [H3824] thou knowest [H3045] ; (for thou only knowest [H3045] the hearts [H3824] of the children [H1121] of men [H120] :)

6:31 That they may fear [H3372] thee, to walk [H3212] in thy ways [H1870] , so long as [H3117] they live [H2416] [H6440] in the land [H127] which thou gavest [H5414] unto our fathers [H1] .(so long: Heb. all the days which)(in the land: Heb. upon the face of the land)

6:33 Then hear [H8085] thou from the heavens [H8064] , [even] from 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] , and fear [H3372] thee, as [doth] thy people [H5971] Israel [H3478] , and may know [H3045] that this house [H1004] which I have built [H1129] is called [H7121] by thy name [H8034] .(this: Heb. thy name is called upon this house)

6:34 If thy people [H5971] go out [H3318] to war [H4421] against their enemies [H341] by the way [H1870] that thou shalt send [H7971] them, and they pray [H6419] unto thee toward [H1870] this city [H5892] which thou hast chosen [H977] , and the house [H1004] which I have built [H1129] for thy name [H8034] ;

6:35 Then hear [H8085] thou from the heavens [H8064] their prayer [H8605] and their supplication [H8467] , and maintain [H6213] their cause [H4941] .(cause: or, right)

6:36 If they sin [H2398] against thee, (for [there is] no man [H120] which sinneth [H2398] not,) and thou be angry [H599] with them, and deliver [H5414] them over before [H6440] [their] enemies [H341] , and they carry them away [H7617] captives [H7617] unto a land [H776] far off [H7350] or near [H7138] ;(they carry them away captives: Heb. they that take them captives carry them away)

6:37 Yet [if] they bethink [H7725] [H3824] themselves in the land [H776] whither they are carried captive [H7617] , and turn [H7725] and pray [H2603] unto thee in the land [H776] of their captivity [H7628] , saying [H559] , We have sinned [H2398] , we have done amiss [H5753] , and have dealt wickedly [H7561] ;(bethink: Heb. bring back to their heart)

6:39 Then hear [H8085] thou from the heavens [H8064] , [even] from thy dwelling [H3427] place [H4349] , their prayer [H8605] and their supplications [H8467] , and maintain [H6213] their cause [H4941] , and forgive [H5545] thy people [H5971] which have sinned [H2398] against thee.(cause: or, right)

6:40 Now, my God [H430] , let, I beseech thee, thine eyes [H5869] be open [H6605] , and [let] thine ears [H241] [be] attent [H7183] unto the prayer [H8605] [that is made] in this place [H4725] .(unto: Heb. to the prayer of this place)

6:41 Now therefore arise [H6965] , O LORD [H3068] God [H430] , into thy resting [H5118] place, thou, and the ark [H727] of thy strength [H5797] : let thy priests [H3548] , O LORD [H3068] God [H430] , be clothed [H3847] with salvation [H8668] , and let thy saints [H2623] rejoice [H8055] in goodness [H2896] .

6:42 O LORD [H3068] God [H430] , turn not away [H7725] the face [H6440] of thine anointed [H4899] : remember [H2142] the mercies [H2617] of David [H1732] thy servant [H5650] .
