Now when Solomon{H8010} had made an end{H3615} of praying,{H6419} the fire{H784} came down{H3381} from heaven,{H8064} and consumed{H398} the burnt-offering{H5930} and the sacrifices;{H2077} and the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} filled{H4390} the house.{H1004}

And the priests{H3548} could{H3201} not enter{H935} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} because the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} filled{H4390} Jehovah's{H3068} house.{H1004}

And all the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} looked{H7200} on, when the fire{H784} came down,{H3381} and the glory{H3519} of Jehovah{H3068} was upon the house;{H1004} and they bowed{H3766} themselves with their faces{H639} to the ground{H776} upon the pavement,{H7531} and worshipped,{H7812} and gave thanks{H3034} unto Jehovah,{H3068} [saying], For he is good;{H2896} for his lovingkindness{H2617} [endureth] for ever.{H5769}

Then the king{H4428} and all the people{H5971} offered{H2076} sacrifice{H2077} before{H6440} Jehovah.{H3068}

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} offered{H2076} a sacrifice{H2077} of twenty{H6242} and two{H8147} thousand{H505} oxen,{H1241} and a hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242} thousand{H505} sheep.{H6629} So the king{H4428} and all the people{H5971} dedicated{H2596} the house{H1004} of God.{H430}

And the priests{H3548} stood,{H5975} according to their offices;{H4931} the Levites{H3881} also with instruments{H3627} of music{H7892} of Jehovah,{H3068} which David{H1732} the king{H4428} had made{H6213} to give thanks{H3034} unto Jehovah,{H3068} (for his lovingkindness{H2617} [endureth] for ever,){H5769} when David{H1732} praised{H1984} by their ministry:{H3027} and the priests{H3548} sounded trumpets{H2690} before them; and all Israel{H3478} stood.{H5975}

Moreover Solomon{H8010} hallowed{H6942} the middle{H8432} of the court{H2691} that was before{H6440} the house{H1004} of Jehovah;{H3068} for there he offered{H6213} the burnt-offerings,{H5930} and the fat{H2459} of the peace-offerings,{H5930} because the brazen{H5178} altar{H4196} which Solomon{H8010} had made{H6213} was not able{H3201} to receive{H3557} the burnt-offering,{H5930} and the meal-offering,{H4503} and the fat.{H2459}

So Solomon{H8010} held{H6213} the feast{H2282} at that time{H6256} seven{H7651} days,{H3117} and all Israel{H3478} with him, a very{H3966} great{H1419} assembly,{H6951} from the entrance{H935} of Hamath{H2574} unto the brook{H5158} of Egypt.{H4714}

And on the eighth{H8066} day{H3117} they held{H6213} a solemn assembly:{H6116} for they kept{H6213} the dedication{H2598} of the altar{H4196} seven{H7651} days,{H3117} and the feast{H2282} seven{H7651} days.{H3117}

And on the three{H7969} and twentieth{H6242} day{H3117} of the seventh{H7637} month{H2320} he sent{H7971} the people{H5971} away{H7971} unto their tents,{H168} joyful{H2896} and glad{H8056} of heart{H3820} for the goodness{H2896} that Jehovah{H3068} had showed{H6213} unto David,{H1732} and to Solomon,{H8010} and to Israel{H3478} his people.{H5971}

Thus Solomon{H8010} finished{H3615} the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and the king's{H4428} house:{H1004} and all that came{H935} into Solomon's{H8010} heart{H3820} to make{H6213} in the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and in his own house,{H1004} he prosperously effected.{H6743}

And Jehovah{H3068} appeared{H7200} to Solomon{H8010} by night,{H3915} and said{H559} unto him, I have heard{H8085} thy prayer,{H8605} and have chosen{H977} this place{H4725} to myself for a house{H1004} of sacrifice.{H2077}

If{H2005} I shut up{H6113} the heavens{H8064} so that there is no rain,{H4306} or if I command{H6680} the locust{H2284} to devour{H398} the land,{H776} or if I send{H7971} pestilence{H1698} among my people;{H5971}

if my people,{H5971} who are called{H7121} by my name,{H8034} shall humble{H3665} themselves, and pray,{H6419} and seek{H1245} my face,{H6440} and turn{H7725} from their wicked{H7451} ways;{H1870} then will I hear{H8085} from heaven,{H8064} and will forgive{H5545} their sin,{H2403} and will heal{H7495} their land.{H776}

Now mine eyes{H5869} shall be open,{H6605} and mine ears{H241} attent,{H7183} unto the prayer{H8605} that is made in this place.{H4725}

For now have I chosen{H977} and hallowed{H6942} this house,{H1004} that my name{H8034} may be there for{H5704} ever;{H5769} and mine eyes{H5869} and my heart{H3820} shall be there perpetually.{H3117}

And as for thee, if thou wilt walk{H3212} before{H6440} me as David{H1732} thy father{H1} walked,{H1980} and do{H6213} according to all that I have commanded{H6680} thee, and wilt keep{H8104} my statutes{H2706} and mine ordinances;{H4941}

then I will establish{H6965} the throne{H3678} of thy kingdom,{H4438} according as I covenanted{H3772} with David{H1732} thy father,{H1} saying,{H559} There shall not fail{H3772} thee a man{H376} to be ruler{H4910} in Israel.{H3478}

But if ye turn away,{H7725} and forsake{H5800} my statutes{H2708} and my commandments{H4687} which I have set{H5414} before{H6440} you, and shall go{H1980} and serve{H5647} other{H312} gods,{H430} and worship{H7812} them;

then will I pluck them up by the roots{H5428} out of my land{H127} which I have given{H5414} them; and this house,{H1004} which I have hallowed{H6942} for my name,{H8034} will I cast out{H7993} of my sight,{H6440} and I will make{H5414} it a proverb{H4912} and a byword{H8148} among all peoples.{H5971}

And this house,{H1004} which is so high,{H5945} every one that passeth{H5674} by it shall be astonished,{H8074} and shall say,{H559} Why hath Jehovah{H3068} done{H6213} thus unto this land,{H776} and to this house?{H1004}

And they shall answer,{H559} Because they forsook{H5800} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of their fathers,{H1} who brought them forth{H3318} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} and laid hold{H2388} on other{H312} gods,{H430} and worshipped{H7812} them, and served{H5647} them: therefore hath he brought{H935} all this evil{H7451} upon them.
