1 Kings 8

KJV

1  Then²²⁷ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ assembled^{6950 853} the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the tribes,⁴²⁹⁴ the chief⁵³⁸⁷ of the fathers¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ unto⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that they might bring up^{5927 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ out of the city^{4480 5892} of David,¹⁷³² which¹⁹³¹ is Zion.⁶⁷²⁶

2  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ assembled themselves⁶⁹⁵⁰ unto⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ at the feast²²⁸² in the month³³⁹¹ Ethanim,³⁸⁸ which¹⁹³¹ is the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month.²³²⁰

3  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came,⁹³⁵ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ took up^{5375 853} the ark.⁷²⁷

4  And they brought up^{5927 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ vessels³⁶²⁷ that⁸³⁴ were in the tabernacle,¹⁶⁸ even those did the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ bring up.⁵⁹²⁷

5  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁵⁷¹² of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that were assembled³²⁵⁹ unto⁵⁹²¹ him, were with⁸⁵⁴ him before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the ark,⁷²⁷ sacrificing²⁰⁷⁶ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and oxen,¹²⁴¹ that⁸³⁴ could not³⁸⁰⁸ be told⁵⁶⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ numbered⁴⁴⁸⁷ for multitude.^{4480 7230}

6  And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ brought in^{935 853} the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto⁴¹³ his place,⁴⁷²⁵ into⁴¹³ the oracle¹⁶⁸⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ to⁴¹³ the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place, even under^{413 8478} the wings³⁶⁷¹ of the cherubims.³⁷⁴²

7  For³⁵⁸⁸ the cherubims³⁷⁴² spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ their two wings³⁶⁷¹ over⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ of the ark,⁷²⁷ and the cherubims³⁷⁴² covered^{5526 5921} the ark⁷²⁷ and the staves⁹⁰⁵ thereof above.^{4480 4605}

8  And they drew out⁷⁴⁸ the staves,⁹⁰⁵ that the ends⁷²¹⁸ of the staves⁹⁰⁵ were seen⁷²⁰⁰ out⁴⁴⁸⁰ in the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place before^{5921 6440} the oracle,¹⁶⁸⁷ and they were not³⁸⁰⁸ seen⁷²⁰⁰ without:²³⁵¹ and there⁸⁰³³ they are¹⁹⁶¹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

9  There was nothing³⁶⁹ in the ark⁷²⁷ save⁷⁵³⁵ the two⁸¹⁴⁷ tables³⁸⁷¹ of stone,⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² put⁵¹¹⁷ there⁸⁰³³ at Horeb,²⁷²² when⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ made³⁷⁷² a covenant with⁵⁹⁷³ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when they came out³³¹⁸ of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

10  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the priests³⁵⁴⁸ were come out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place, that the cloud⁶⁰⁵¹ filled^{4390 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸

11  So that the priests³⁵⁴⁸ could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ to minister⁸³³⁴ because^{4480 6440} of the cloud:⁶⁰⁵¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had filled^{4390 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

12  Then²²⁷ spoke⁵⁵⁹ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ that he would dwell⁷⁹³¹ in the thick darkness.⁶²⁰⁵

13  I have surely built^{1129 1129} thee a house¹⁰⁰⁴ to dwell in,²⁰⁷³ a settled place⁴³⁴⁹ for thee to abide in³⁴²⁷ forever.⁵⁷⁶⁹

14  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ turned^{5437 853} his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ about, and blessed^{1288 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ (and all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood;)⁵⁹⁷⁵

15  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ with his mouth⁶³¹⁰ unto⁸⁵⁴ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and hath with his hand³⁰²⁷ fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ it, saying,⁵⁵⁹

16  Since⁴⁴⁸⁰ the day³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ I brought forth^{3318 853} my people^{5971 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} I chose⁹⁷⁷ no³⁸⁰⁸ city⁵⁸⁹² out of all^{4480 3605} the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to build¹¹²⁹ a house,¹⁰⁰⁴ that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be¹⁹⁶¹ therein;⁸⁰³³ but I chose⁹⁷⁷ David¹⁷³² to be¹⁹⁶¹ over⁵⁹²¹ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

17  And it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ the heart³⁸²⁴ of David¹⁷³² my father¹ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

18  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ David¹⁷³² my father,¹ Whereas^{3282 834} it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart³⁸²⁴ to build¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ unto my name,⁸⁰³⁴ thou didst well²⁸⁹⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ it was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ thine heart.³⁸²⁴

19  Nevertheless⁷⁵³⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ build¹¹²⁹ the house;¹⁰⁰⁴ but^{3588 518} thy son¹¹²¹ that shall come forth³³¹⁸ out of thy loins,^{4480 2504} he¹⁹³¹ shall build¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ unto my name.⁸⁰³⁴

20  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath performed^{6965 853} his word¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ he spoke,¹⁶⁹⁶ and I am risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the room⁸⁴⁷⁸ of David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and sit³⁴²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ promised,¹⁶⁹⁶ and have built¹¹²⁹ a house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

21  And I have set⁷⁷⁶⁰ there⁸⁰³³ a place⁴⁷²⁵ for the ark,⁷²⁷ wherein^{834 8033} is the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which⁸³⁴ he made³⁷⁷² with⁵⁹⁷³ our fathers,¹ when he brought them out^{3318 853} of the land^{4480 776} of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

22  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the presence⁵⁰⁴⁸ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ toward heaven:⁸⁰⁶⁴

23  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ God⁴³⁰ like thee,³⁶⁴⁴ in heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ above,^{4480 4605} or on⁵⁹²¹ earth⁷⁷⁶ beneath,^{4480 8478} who keepest⁸¹⁰⁴ covenant¹²⁸⁵ and mercy²⁶¹⁷ with thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ that walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart:³⁸²⁰

24  Who⁸³⁴ hast kept⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father^{1 853} that⁸³⁴ thou promisedst¹⁶⁹⁶ him: thou spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ also with thy mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and hast fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ it with thine hand,³⁰²⁷ as it is this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

25  Therefore now,⁶²⁵⁸ LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ keep⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father^{1 853} that⁸³⁴ thou promisedst¹⁶⁹⁶ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ There shall not³⁸⁰⁸ fail³⁷⁷² thee a man³⁷⁶ in my sight^{4480 6440} to sit³⁴²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ so⁷⁵³⁵ that⁵¹⁸ thy children¹¹²¹ take heed to^{8104 853} their way,¹⁸⁷⁰ that they walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me as⁸³⁴ thou hast walked¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me.

26  And now,⁶²⁵⁸ O God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ let thy word,¹⁶⁹⁷ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ be verified,⁵³⁹ which⁸³⁴ thou spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father.¹

27  But³⁵⁸⁸ will God⁴³⁰ indeed⁵⁵² dwell³⁴²⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ the earth?⁷⁷⁶ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ cannot³⁸⁰⁸ contain³⁵⁵⁷ thee; how much less^{637 3588} this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ I have built?¹¹²⁹

28  Yet have thou respect⁶⁴³⁷ unto⁴¹³ the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and to⁴¹³ his supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ the cry⁷⁴⁴⁰ and to⁴¹³ the prayer,⁸⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee today:³¹¹⁷

29  That thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ may be¹⁹⁶¹ open⁶⁶⁰⁵ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ night³⁹¹⁵ and day,³¹¹⁷ even toward⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ of which⁸³⁴ thou hast said,⁵⁵⁹ My name⁸⁰³⁴ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ there:⁸⁰³³ that thou mayest hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which⁸³⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ shall make⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place.⁴⁷²⁵

30  And hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou to⁴¹³ the supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when⁸³⁴ they shall pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place:⁴⁷²⁵ and hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ in⁴¹³ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place:⁴⁷²⁵ and when thou hearest,⁸⁰⁸⁵ forgive.⁵⁵⁴⁵

31  ⁸⁵³ If⁸³⁴ any man³⁷⁶ trespass²³⁹⁸ against his neighbor,⁷⁴⁵³ and an oath⁴²³ be laid⁵³⁷⁷ upon him to cause him to swear,⁴²² and the oath⁴²² come⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thine altar⁴¹⁹⁶ in this²⁰⁸⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴

32  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ in heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and do,⁶²¹³ and judge^{8199 853} thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ condemning⁷⁵⁶¹ the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ to bring⁵⁴¹⁴ his way¹⁸⁷⁰ upon his head;⁷²¹⁸ and justifying⁶⁶⁶³ the righteous,⁶⁶⁶² to give⁵⁴¹⁴ him according to his righteousness.⁶⁶⁶⁶

33  When thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ be smitten down⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy,³⁴¹ because⁸³⁴ they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee, and shall turn again⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ thee, and confess^{3034 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and pray,⁶⁴¹⁹ and make supplication²⁶⁰³ unto⁴¹³ thee in this²⁰⁸⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴

34  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ in heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto their fathers.¹

35  When heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ is shut up,⁶¹¹³ and there is¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ rain,⁴³⁰⁶ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; if they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and confess^{3034 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their sin,^{4480 2403} when³⁵⁸⁸ thou afflictest⁶⁰³¹ them:

36  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ in heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou teach³³⁸⁴ them ⁸⁵³ the⁸³⁴ good²⁸⁹⁶ way¹⁸⁷⁰ wherein they should walk,¹⁹⁸⁰ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ rain⁴³⁰⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ thy land,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou hast given⁵⁴¹⁴ to thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ for an inheritance.⁵¹⁵⁹

37  If³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ in the land⁷⁷⁶ famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ if³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ blasting,⁷⁷¹¹ mildew,³⁴²⁰ locust,⁶⁹⁷ or if³⁵⁸⁸ there be¹⁹⁶¹ caterpillar;²⁶²⁵ if³⁵⁸⁸ their enemy³⁴¹ besiege⁶⁸⁸⁷ them in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their cities;⁸¹⁷⁹ whatsoever³⁶⁰⁵ plague,⁵⁰⁶¹ whatsoever³⁶⁰⁵ sickness⁴²⁴⁵ there be;

38  What³⁶⁰⁵ prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ soever^{3605 834} be¹⁹⁶¹ made by any³⁶⁰⁵ man,¹²⁰ or by all³⁶⁰⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ shall know³⁰⁴⁵ every man³⁷⁶ the plague⁵⁰⁶¹ of his own heart,³⁸²⁴ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴

39  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ in heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ and forgive,⁵⁵⁴⁵ and do,⁶²¹³ and give⁵⁴¹⁴ to every man³⁷⁶ according to³⁶⁰⁵ his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ whose^{834 853} heart³⁸²⁴ thou knowest;³⁰⁴⁵ (for³⁵⁸⁸ thou,⁸⁵⁹ even thou only,⁹⁰⁵ knowest^{3045 853} the hearts³⁸²⁴ of all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of men;)¹²⁰

40  That⁴⁶¹⁶ they may fear³³⁷² thee all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ that⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² live²⁴¹⁶ in^{5921 6440} the land¹²⁷ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto our fathers.¹

41  Moreover¹⁵⁷¹ concerning⁴¹³ a stranger,⁵²³⁷ that⁸³⁴ is not³⁸⁰⁸ of thy people^{4480 5971} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ but cometh⁹³⁵ out of a far country^{4480 776 7350} for thy name's sake;^{4616 8034}

42  (For³⁵⁸⁸ they shall hear of^{8085 853} thy great¹⁴¹⁹ name,⁸⁰³⁴ and of thy strong²³⁸⁹ hand,³⁰²⁷ and of thy stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ arm;)²²²⁰ when he shall come⁹³⁵ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴

43  Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou⁸⁵⁹ in heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ and do⁶²¹³ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ the stranger⁵²³⁷ calleth⁷¹²¹ to⁴¹³ thee for: that⁴⁶¹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ may know^{3045 853} thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ to fear³³⁷² thee, as do thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and that they may know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built,¹¹²⁹ is called⁷¹²¹ by⁵⁹²¹ thy name.⁸⁰³⁴

44  If³⁵⁸⁸ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ go out³³¹⁸ to battle⁴⁴²¹ against⁵⁹²¹ their enemy,³⁴¹ whithersoever^{1870 834} thou shalt send⁷⁹⁷¹ them, and shall pray⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ toward¹⁸⁷⁰ the city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and toward the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name:⁸⁰³⁴

45  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou in heaven^{8064 853} their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause.⁴⁹⁴¹

46  If³⁵⁸⁸ they sin²³⁹⁸ against thee, (for³⁵⁸⁸ there is no³⁶⁹ man¹²⁰ that⁸³⁴ sinneth²³⁹⁸ not,)³⁸⁰⁸ and thou be angry⁵⁹⁹ with them, and deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them to⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy,³⁴¹ so that they carry them away⁷⁶¹⁷ captives⁷⁶¹⁷ unto⁴¹³ the land⁷⁷⁶ of the enemy,³⁴¹ far⁷³⁵⁰ or¹⁷⁶ near;⁷¹³⁸

47  Yet if they shall bethink themselves^{7725 413 3820} in the land⁷⁷⁶ whither^{834 8033} they were carried captives,⁷⁶¹⁷ and repent,⁷⁷²⁵ and make supplication²⁶⁰³ unto⁴¹³ thee in the land⁷⁷⁶ of them that carried them captives,⁷⁶¹⁷ saying,⁵⁵⁹ We have sinned,²³⁹⁸ and have done perversely,⁵⁷⁵³ we have committed wickedness;⁷⁵⁶¹

48  And so return⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee with all³⁶⁰⁵ their heart,³⁸²⁴ and with all³⁶⁰⁵ their soul,⁵³¹⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their enemies,³⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ led them away captive,^{7617 853} and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee toward¹⁸⁷⁰ their land,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto their fathers,¹ the city⁵⁸⁹² which⁸³⁴ thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name:⁸⁰³⁴

49  Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou ⁸⁵³ their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ in heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause,⁴⁹⁴¹

50  And forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee, and all³⁶⁰⁵ their transgressions⁶⁵⁸⁸ wherein⁸³⁴ they have transgressed⁶⁵⁸⁶ against thee, and give⁵⁴¹⁴ them compassion⁷³⁵⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them who carried them captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ that they may have compassion on⁷³⁵⁵ them:

51  For³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² be thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and thine inheritance,⁵¹⁵⁹ which⁸³⁴ thou broughtest forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} from the midst^{4480 8432} of the furnace³⁵⁶⁴ of iron:¹²⁷⁰

52  That thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ may be¹⁹⁶¹ open⁶⁶⁰⁵ unto⁴¹³ the supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and unto⁴¹³ the supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ them in all³⁶⁰⁵ that they call⁷¹²¹ for unto⁴¹³ thee.

53  For³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ didst separate⁹¹⁴ them from among all^{4480 3605} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ to be thine inheritance,⁵¹⁵⁹ as⁸³⁴ thou spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ when thou broughtest^{3318 853} our fathers¹ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} O Lord¹³⁶ GOD.³⁰⁶⁸

54  And it was¹⁹⁶¹ so, that when Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of praying^{6419 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ this²⁰⁶³ prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ unto⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ he arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ from before^{4480 6440} the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ from kneeling^{4480 3766} on⁵⁹²¹ his knees¹²⁹⁰ with his hands³⁷⁰⁹ spread up⁶⁵⁶⁶ to heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴

55  And he stood,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and blessed^{1288 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with a loud¹⁴¹⁹ voice,⁶⁹⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹

56  Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ rest⁴⁴⁹⁶ unto his people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he promised:¹⁶⁹⁶ there hath not³⁸⁰⁸ failed⁵³⁰⁷ one²⁵⁹ word¹⁶⁹⁷ of all^{4480 3605} his good²⁸⁹⁶ promise,¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ he promised¹⁶⁹⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² his servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰

57  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ us, as⁸³⁴ he was¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ our fathers:¹ let him not⁴⁰⁸ leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ us, nor⁴⁰⁸ forsake⁵²⁰³ us:

58  That he may incline⁵¹⁸⁶ our hearts³⁸²⁴ unto⁴¹³ him, to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in all³⁶⁰⁵ his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and to keep⁸¹⁰⁴ his commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ and his statutes,²⁷⁰⁶ and his judgments,⁴⁹⁴¹ which⁸³⁴ he commanded^{6680 853} our fathers.¹

59  And let these⁴²⁸ my words,¹⁶⁹⁷ wherewith⁸³⁴ I have made supplication²⁶⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ nigh⁷¹³⁸ unto⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God⁴³⁰ day³¹¹⁹ and night,³⁹¹⁵ that he maintain⁶²¹³ the cause⁴⁹⁴¹ of his servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and the cause⁴⁹⁴¹ of his people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ at all times,³¹¹⁷ as the matter¹⁶⁹⁷ shall require:³¹¹⁷

60  That⁴⁶¹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ may know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is God,⁴³⁰ and that there is none³⁶⁹ else.⁵⁷⁵⁰

61  Let your heart³⁸²⁴ therefore be¹⁹⁶¹ perfect⁸⁰⁰³ with⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ to walk¹⁹⁸⁰ in his statutes,²⁷⁰⁶ and to keep⁸¹⁰⁴ his commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ as at this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

62  And the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, offered²⁰⁷⁶ sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

63  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ offered^{2076 853} a sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ of peace offerings,⁸⁰⁰² which⁸³⁴ he offered²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ two⁸¹⁴⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ oxen,¹²⁴¹ and a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep.⁶⁶²⁹ So the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ dedicated^{2596 853} the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

64  The same¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ did the king⁴⁴²⁸ hallow^{6942 853} the middle⁸⁴³² of the court²⁶⁹¹ that⁸³⁴ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ there⁸⁰³³ he offered^{6213 853} burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and meat offerings,⁴⁵⁰³ and the fat²⁴⁵⁹ of the peace offerings:⁸⁰⁰² because³⁵⁸⁸ the brazen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was too little⁶⁹⁹⁶ to receive^{4480 3557 853} the burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and meat offerings,⁴⁵⁰³ and the fat²⁴⁵⁹ of the peace offerings.⁸⁰⁰²

65  And at that¹⁹³¹ time⁶²⁵⁶ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ held^{6213 853} a feast,²²⁸² and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, a great¹⁴¹⁹ congregation,⁶⁹⁵¹ from the entering in^{4480 935} of Hamath²⁵⁷⁴ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the river⁵¹⁵⁸ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ even fourteen^{702 6240} days.³¹¹⁷

66  On the eighth⁸⁰⁶⁶ day³¹¹⁷ he sent^{7971 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ away: and they blessed^{1288 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ unto their tents¹⁶⁸ joyful⁸⁰⁵⁶ and glad²⁸⁹⁶ of heart³⁸²⁰ for⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the goodness²⁸⁹⁶ that⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had done⁶²¹³ for David¹⁷³² his servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and for Israel³⁴⁷⁸ his people.⁵⁹⁷¹

1 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ συντελέσαι Σαλωμων τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον ἑαυτοῦ μετὰ εἴκοσι ἔτη τότε ἐξεκκλησίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ισραηλ ἐν Σιων τοῦ ἀνενεγκεῖν τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης κυρίου ἐκ πόλεως Δαυιδ αὕτη ἐστὶν Σιων

2 ἐν μηνὶ Αθανιν

3 καὶ ἦραν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν

4 καὶ τὸ σκήνωμα τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια τὰ ἐν τῷ σκηνώματι τοῦ μαρτυρίου

5 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ θύοντες πρόβατα καὶ βόας ἀναρίθμητα

6 καὶ εἰσφέρουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς εἰς τὸ δαβιρ τοῦ οἴκου εἰς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας τῶν χερουβιν

7 ὅτι τὰ χερουβιν διαπεπετασμένα ταῖς πτέρυξιν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τῆς κιβωτοῦ καὶ περιεκάλυπτον τὰ χερουβιν ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῆς ἐπάνωθεν

8 καὶ ὑπερεῖχον τὰ ἡγιασμένα καὶ ἐνεβλέποντο αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ἡγιασμένων ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων εἰς πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβιρ καὶ οὐκ ὠπτάνοντο ἔξω

9 οὐκ ἦν ἐν τῇ κιβωτῷ πλὴν δύο πλάκες λίθιναι πλάκες τῆς διαθήκης ἃς ἔθηκεν ἐκεῖ Μωυσῆς ἐν Χωρηβ ἃ διέθετο κύριος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου

10 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξῆλθον οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐκ τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἔπλησεν τὸν οἶκον

11 καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο οἱ ἱερεῖς στῆναι λειτουργεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς νεφέλης ὅτι ἔπλησεν δόξα κυρίου τὸν οἶκον

14 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλόγησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πάντα Ισραηλ καὶ πᾶσα ἐκκλησία Ισραηλ εἱστήκει

15 καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ σήμερον ὃς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ περὶ Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἐπλήρωσεν λέγων

16 ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐξήγαγον τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ισραηλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν πόλει ἐν ἑνὶ σκήπτρῳ Ισραηλ τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τοῦ εἶναι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν Ιερουσαλημ εἶναι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐξελεξάμην τὸν Δαυιδ τοῦ εἶναι ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ισραηλ

17 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς καρδίας Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ

18 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Δαυιδ τὸν πατέρα μου ἀνθ᾽ ὧν ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν σου τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου καλῶς ἐποίησας ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν σου

19 πλὴν σὺ οὐκ οἰκοδομήσεις τὸν οἶκον ἀλλ᾽ ἣ ὁ υἱός σου ὁ ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τῶν πλευρῶν σου οὗτος οἰκοδομήσει τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματί μου

20 καὶ ἀνέστησεν κύριος τὸ ῥῆμα αὐτοῦ ὃ ἐλάλησεν καὶ ἀνέστην ἀντὶ Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐκάθισα ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου Ισραηλ καθὼς ἐλάλησεν κύριος καὶ ᾠκοδόμησα τὸν οἶκον τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ

21 καὶ ἐθέμην ἐκεῖ τόπον τῇ κιβωτῷ ἐν ᾗ ἐστιν ἐκεῖ διαθήκη κυρίου ἣν διέθετο κύριος μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτὸν αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου

22 καὶ ἔστη Σαλωμων κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου ἐνώπιον πάσης ἐκκλησίας Ισραηλ καὶ διεπέτασεν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν

23 καὶ εἶπεν κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ οὐκ ἔστιν ὡς σὺ θεὸς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἄνω καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω φυλάσσων διαθήκην καὶ ἔλεος τῷ δούλῳ σου τῷ πορευομένῳ ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ

24 ἃ ἐφύλαξας τῷ δούλῳ σου Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί μου καὶ ἐλάλησας ἐν τῷ στόματί σου καὶ ἐν χερσίν σου ἐπλήρωσας ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη

25 καὶ νῦν κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ φύλαξον τῷ δούλῳ σου τῷ Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί μου ἃ ἐλάλησας αὐτῷ λέγων οὐκ ἐξαρθήσεταί σου ἀνὴρ ἐκ προσώπου μου καθήμενος ἐπὶ θρόνου Ισραηλ πλὴν ἐὰν φυλάξωνται τὰ τέκνα σου τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ καθὼς ἐπορεύθης ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ

26 καὶ νῦν κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ πιστωθήτω δὴ τὸ ῥῆμά σου τῷ Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί μου

27 ὅτι εἰ ἀληθῶς κατοικήσει ὁ θεὸς μετὰ ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἰ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐκ ἀρκέσουσίν σοι πλὴν καὶ ὁ οἶκος οὗτος ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ ὀνόματί σου

28 καὶ ἐπιβλέψῃ ἐπὶ τὴν δέησίν μου κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἀκούειν τῆς τέρψεως ἧς ὁ δοῦλός σου προσεύχεται ἐνώπιόν σου πρὸς σὲ σήμερον

29 τοῦ εἶναι ὀφθαλμούς σου ἠνεῳγμένους εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπας ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ τοῦ εἰσακούειν τῆς προσευχῆς ἧς προσεύχεται ὁ δοῦλός σου εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός

30 καὶ εἰσακούσῃ τῆς δεήσεως τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ ἃ ἂν προσεύξωνται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τῆς κατοικήσεώς σου ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ποιήσεις καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ

31 ὅσα ἂν ἁμάρτῃ ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐὰν λάβῃ ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀρὰν τοῦ ἀρᾶσθαι αὐτόν καὶ ἔλθῃ καὶ ἐξαγορεύσῃ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου σου ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ

32 καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσει ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ποιήσεις καὶ κρινεῖς τὸν λαόν σου Ισραηλ ἀνομηθῆναι ἄνομον δοῦναι τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ δικαιῶσαι δίκαιον δοῦναι αὐτῷ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ

33 ἐν τῷ πταῖσαι τὸν λαόν σου Ισραηλ ἐνώπιον ἐχθρῶν ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι καὶ ἐπιστρέψουσιν καὶ ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου καὶ προσεύξονται καὶ δεηθήσονται ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ

34 καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ καὶ ἀποστρέψεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν

35 ἐν τῷ συσχεθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ μὴ γενέσθαι ὑετόν ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι καὶ προσεύξονται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐξομολογήσονται τῷ ὀνόματί σου καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν ἀποστρέψουσιν ὅταν ταπεινώσῃς αὐτούς

36 καὶ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ ὅτι δηλώσεις αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἀγαθὴν πορεύεσθαι ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ δώσεις ὑετὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἣν ἔδωκας τῷ λαῷ σου ἐν κληρονομίᾳ

37 λιμὸς ἐὰν γένηται θάνατος ἐὰν γένηται ὅτι ἔσται ἐμπυρισμός βροῦχος ἐρυσίβη ἐὰν γένηται καὶ ἐὰν θλίψῃ αὐτὸν ἐχθρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν μιᾷ τῶν πόλεων αὐτοῦ πᾶν συνάντημα πᾶν πόνον

38 πᾶσαν προσευχήν πᾶσαν δέησιν ἐὰν γένηται παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ ὡς ἂν γνῶσιν ἕκαστος ἁφὴν καρδίας αὐτοῦ καὶ διαπετάσῃ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον

39 καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ καὶ ποιήσεις καὶ δώσεις ἀνδρὶ κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καθὼς ἂν γνῷς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ὅτι σὺ μονώτατος οἶδας τὴν καρδίαν πάντων υἱῶν ἀνθρώπων

40 ὅπως φοβῶνταί σε πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἃς αὐτοὶ ζῶσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν

41 καὶ τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπὸ λαοῦ σου οὗτος

42 καὶ ἥξουσιν καὶ προσεύξονται εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον

43 καὶ σὺ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου καὶ ποιήσεις κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐπικαλέσηταί σε ὁ ἀλλότριος ὅπως γνῶσιν πάντες οἱ λαοὶ τὸ ὄνομά σου καὶ φοβῶνταί σε καθὼς ὁ λαός σου Ισραηλ καὶ γνῶσιν ὅτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπικέκληται ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησα

44 ὅτι ἐξελεύσεται ὁ λαός σου εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπιστρέψεις αὐτούς καὶ προσεύξονται ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου ὁδὸν τῆς πόλεως ἧς ἐξελέξω ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ τοῦ οἴκου οὗ ᾠκοδόμησα τῷ ὀνόματί σου

45 καὶ εἰσακούσει ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῶν καὶ τῆς προσευχῆς αὐτῶν καὶ ποιήσεις τὸ δικαίωμα αὐτοῖς

46 ὅτι ἁμαρτήσονταί σοι ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐχ ἁμαρτήσεται καὶ ἐπάξεις ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς καὶ παραδώσεις αὐτοὺς ἐνώπιον ἐχθρῶν καὶ αἰχμαλωτιοῦσιν αὐτοὺς οἱ αἰχμαλωτίζοντες εἰς γῆν μακρὰν καὶ ἐγγύς

47 καὶ ἐπιστρέψουσιν καρδίας αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ οὗ μετήχθησαν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν καὶ δεηθῶσίν σου ἐν γῇ μετοικίας αὐτῶν λέγοντες ἡμάρτομεν ἠνομήσαμεν ἠδικήσαμεν

48 καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν πρὸς σὲ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν οὗ μετήγαγες αὐτούς καὶ προσεύξονται πρὸς σὲ ὁδὸν γῆς αὐτῶν ἧς ἔδωκας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν τῆς πόλεως ἧς ἐξελέξω καὶ τοῦ οἴκου οὗ ᾠκοδόμηκα τῷ ὀνόματί σου

49 καὶ εἰσακούσῃ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου σου

50 καὶ ἵλεως ἔσῃ ταῖς ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν αἷς ἥμαρτόν σοι καὶ κατὰ πάντα τὰ ἀθετήματα αὐτῶν ἃ ἠθέτησάν σοι καὶ δώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς οἰκτιρμοὺς ἐνώπιον αἰχμαλωτευόντων αὐτούς καὶ οἰκτιρήσουσιν αὐτούς

51 ὅτι λαός σου καὶ κληρονομία σου οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐκ μέσου χωνευτηρίου σιδήρου

52 καὶ ἔστωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου καὶ τὰ ὦτά σου ἠνεῳγμένα εἰς τὴν δέησιν τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ εἰς τὴν δέησιν τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ εἰσακούειν αὐτῶν ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἂν ἐπικαλέσωνταί σε

53 ὅτι σὺ διέστειλας αὐτοὺς σαυτῷ εἰς κληρονομίαν ἐκ πάντων τῶν λαῶν τῆς γῆς καθὼς ἐλάλησας ἐν χειρὶ δούλου σου Μωυσῆ ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν σε τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου κύριε κύριε
τότε ἐλάλησεν Σαλωμων ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου ὡς συνετέλεσεν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτόν ἥλιον ἐγνώρισεν ἐν οὐρανῷ κύριος εἶπεν τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐν γνόφῳ οἰκοδόμησον οἶκόν μου οἶκον ἐκπρεπῆ σαυτῷ τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐπὶ καινότητος οὐκ ἰδοὺ αὕτη γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ τῆς ᾠδῆς

54 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσεν Σαλωμων προσευχόμενος πρὸς κύριον ὅλην τὴν προσευχὴν καὶ τὴν δέησιν ταύτην καὶ ἀνέστη ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου ὀκλακὼς ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ διαπεπετασμέναι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν

55 καὶ ἔστη καὶ εὐλόγησεν πᾶσαν ἐκκλησίαν Ισραηλ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ λέγων

56 εὐλογητὸς κύριος σήμερον ὃς ἔδωκεν κατάπαυσιν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ Ισραηλ κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησεν οὐ διεφώνησεν λόγος εἷς ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς λόγοις αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς οἷς ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ δούλου αὐτοῦ

57 γένοιτο κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν καθὼς ἦν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν μὴ ἐγκαταλίποιτο ἡμᾶς μηδὲ ἀποστρέψοιτο ἡμᾶς

58 ἐπικλῖναι καρδίας ἡμῶν πρὸς αὐτὸν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν πάσαις ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ φυλάσσειν πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ προστάγματα αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν ἡμῶν

59 καὶ ἔστωσαν οἱ λόγοι οὗτοι οὓς δεδέημαι ἐνώπιον κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐγγίζοντες πρὸς κύριον θεὸν ἡμῶν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ δούλου σου καὶ τὸ δικαίωμα λαοῦ σου Ισραηλ ῥῆμα ἡμέρας ἐν ἡμέρᾳ αὐτοῦ

60 ὅπως γνῶσιν πάντες οἱ λαοὶ τῆς γῆς ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεός αὐτὸς θεὸς καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι

61 καὶ ἔστωσαν αἱ καρδίαι ἡμῶν τέλειαι πρὸς κύριον θεὸν ἡμῶν καὶ ὁσίως πορεύεσθαι ἐν τοῖς προστάγμασιν αὐτοῦ καὶ φυλάσσειν ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη

62 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἔθυσαν θυσίαν ἐνώπιον κυρίου

63 καὶ ἔθυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων τὰς θυσίας τῶν εἰρηνικῶν ἃς ἔθυσεν τῷ κυρίῳ βοῶν δύο καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας καὶ προβάτων ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι χιλιάδας καὶ ἐνεκαίνισεν τὸν οἶκον κυρίου ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ

64 τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἡγίασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ μέσον τῆς αὐλῆς τὸ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ οἴκου κυρίου ὅτι ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ τὰς θυσίας καὶ τὰ στέατα τῶν εἰρηνικῶν ὅτι τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χαλκοῦν τὸ ἐνώπιον κυρίου μικρὸν τοῦ μὴ δύνασθαι τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ τὰς θυσίας τῶν εἰρηνικῶν ὑπενεγκεῖν

65 καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων τὴν ἑορτὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐκκλησία μεγάλη ἀπὸ τῆς εἰσόδου Ημαθ ἕως ποταμοῦ Αἰγύπτου ἐνώπιον κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ᾧ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων καὶ εὐφραινόμενος ἐνώπιον κυρίου θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας

66 καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ ἐξαπέστειλεν τὸν λαὸν καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτόν καὶ ἀπῆλθον ἕκαστος εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ χαίροντες καὶ ἀγαθῇ καρδίᾳ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς οἷς ἐποίησεν κύριος τῷ Δαυιδ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῷ Ισραηλ λαῷ αὐτοῦ

1 Tunc congregati sunt omnes majores natu Israël cum principibus tribuum, et duces familiarum filiorum Israël, ad regem Salomonem in Jerusalem, ut deferrent arcam fœderis Domini de civitate David, id est, de Sion.

2 Convenitque ad regem Salomonem universus Israël in mense Ethanim, in solemni die: ipse est mensis septimus.

3 Veneruntque cuncti senes de Israël, et tulerunt arcam sacerdotes,

4 et portaverunt arcam Domini, et tabernaculum fœderis, et omnia vasa sanctuarii quæ erant in tabernaculo: et ferebant ea sacerdotes et Levitæ.

5 Rex autem Salomon, et omnis multitudo Israël quæ convenerat ad eum, gradiebatur cum illo ante arcam, et immolabant oves et boves absque æstimatione et numero.

6 Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, in oraculum templi, in Sanctum sanctorum, subter alas cherubim.

7 Siquidem cherubim expandebant alas super locum arcæ, et protegebant arcam, et vectes ejus desuper.

8 Cumque eminerent vectes, et apparerent summitates eorum foris sanctuarium ante oraculum, non apparebant ultra extrinsecus, qui et fuerunt ibi usque in præsentem diem.

9 In arca autem non erat aliud nisi duæ tabulæ lapideæ quas posuerat in ea Moyses in Horeb, quando pepigit Dominus fœdus cum filiis Israël, cum egrederentur de terra Ægypti.

10 Factum est autem cum exissent sacerdotes de sanctuario, nebula implevit domum Domini,

11 et non poterant sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter nebulam: impleverat enim gloria Domini domum Domini.

12 Tunc ait Salomon: Dominus dixit ut habitaret in nebula.

13 Ædificans ædificavi domum in habitaculum tuum: firmissimum solium tuum in sempiternum.

14 Convertitque rex faciem suam, et benedixit omni ecclesiæ Israël: omnia enim ecclesia Israël stabat.

15 Et ait Salomon: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui locutus est ore suo ad David patrem meum, et in manibus ejus perfecit, dicens:

16 A die qua eduxi populum meum Israël de Ægypto, non elegi civitatem de universis tribubus Israël, ut ædificaretur domus, et esset nomen meum ibi: sed elegi David ut esset super populum meum Israël.

17 Voluitque David pater meus ædificare domum nomini Domini Dei Israël:

18 et ait Dominus ad David patrem meum: Quod cogitasti in corde tuo ædificare domum nomini meo, bene fecisti, hoc ipsum mente tractans.

19 Verumtamen tu non ædificabis mihi domum, sed filius tuus, qui egredietur de renibus tuis, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo.

20 Confirmavit Dominus sermonem suum quem locutus est: stetique pro David patre meo, et sedi super thronum Israël, sicut locutus est Dominus: et ædificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israël.

21 Et constitui ibi locum arcæ in qua fœdus Domini est, quod percussit cum patribus nostris quando egressi sunt de terra Ægypti.

22 Stetit autem Salomon ante altare Domini in conspectu ecclesiæ Israël, et expandit manus suas in cælum,

23 et ait: Domine Deus Israël, non est similis tui deus in cælo desuper, et super terram deorsum: qui custodis pactum et misericordiam servis tuis qui ambulant coram te in toto corde suo.

24 Qui custodisti servo tuo David patri meo quæ locutus es ei: ore locutus es, et manibus perfecisti, ut hæc dies probat.

25 Nunc igitur Domine Deus Israël, conserva famulo tuo David patri meo quæ locutus es ei, dicens: Non auferetur de te vir coram me, qui sedeat super thronum Israël: ita tamen si custodierint filii tui viam suam, ut ambulent coram me sicut tu ambulasti in conspectu meo.

26 Et nunc Domine Deus Israël, firmentur verba tua quæ locutus es servo tuo David patri meo.

27 Ergone putandum est quod vere Deus habitet super terram? si enim cælum, et cæli cælorum, te capere non possunt, quanto magis domus hæc, quam ædificavi?

28 Sed respice ad orationem servi tui, et ad preces ejus, Domine Deus meus: audi hymnum et orationem quam servus tuus orat coram te hodie:

29 ut sint oculi tui aperti super domum hanc nocte ac die: super domum, de qua dixisti: Erit nomen meum ibi: ut exaudias orationem quam orat in loco isto ad te servus tuus:

30 ut exaudias deprecationem servi tui et populi tui Israël, quodcumque oraverint in loco isto, et exaudies in loco habitaculi tui in cælo: et cum exaudieris, propitius eris.

31 Si peccaverit homo in proximum suum, et habuerit aliquod juramentum quo teneatur astrictus, et venerit propter juramentum coram altari tuo in domum tuam,

32 tu exaudies in cælo: et facies, et judicabis servos tuos, condemnans impium, et reddens viam suam super caput ejus, justificansque justum, et retribuens ei secundum justitiam suam.

33 Si fugerit populus tuus Israël inimicos suos (quia peccaturus est tibi), et agentes pœnitentiam, et confitentes nomini tuo, venerint, et oraverint, et deprecati te fuerint in domo hac:

34 exaudi in cælo, et dimitte peccatum populi tui Israël, et reduces eos in terram quam dedisti patribus eorum.

35 Si clausum fuerit cælum, et non pluerit propter peccata eorum, et orantes in loco isto, pœnitentiam egerint nomini tuo, et a peccatis suis conversi fuerint propter afflictionem suam:

36 exaudi eos in cælo, et dimitte peccata servorum tuorum, et populi tui Israël: et ostende eis viam bonam per quam ambulent, et da pluviam super terram tuam, quam dedisti populo tuo in possessionem.

37 Fames si oborta fuerit in terra, aut pestilentia, aut corruptus aër, aut ærugo, aut locusta, vel rubigo, et afflixerit eum inimicus ejus portas obsidens: omnis plaga, universa infirmitas,

38 cuncta devotatio, et imprecatio quæ acciderit omni homini de populo tuo Israël: si quis cognoverit plagam cordis sui, et expanderit manus suas in domo hac,

39 tu exaudies in cælo in loco habitationis tuæ, et repropitiaberis, et facies ut des unicuique secundum omnes vias suas, sicut videris cor ejus (quia tu nosti solus cor omnium filiorum hominum),

40 ut timeant te cunctis diebus quibus vivunt super faciem terræ quam dedisti patribus nostris.

41 Insuper et alienigena, qui non est de populo tuo Israël, cum venerit de terra longinqua propter nomen tuum (audietur enim nomen tuum magnum, et manus tua fortis, et brachium tuum

42 extentum ubique), cum venerit ergo, et oraverit in hoc loco,

43 tu exaudies in cælo, in firmamento habitaculi tui, et facies omnia pro quibus invocaverit te alienigena: ut discant universi populi terrarum nomen tuum timere, sicut populus tuus Israël, et probent quia nomen tuum invocatum est super domum hanc quam ædificavi.

44 Si egressus fuerit populus tuus ad bellum contra inimicos suos per viam, quocumque miseris eos, orabunt te contra viam civitatis quam elegisti, et contra domum quam ædificavi nomini tuo,

45 et exaudies in cælo orationes eorum et preces eorum, et facies judicium eorum.

46 Quod si peccaverint tibi (non est enim homo qui non peccet) et iratus tradideris eos inimicis suis, et captivi ducti fuerint in terram inimicorum longe vel prope,

47 et egerint pœnitentiam in corde suo in loco captivitatis, et conversi deprecati te fuerint in captivitate sua, dicentes: Peccavimus: inique egimus, impie gessimus:

48 et reversi fuerint ad te in universo corde suo et tota anima sua in terra inimicorum suorum, ad quam captivi ducti fuerint: et oraverint te contra viam terræ suæ, quam dedisti patribus eorum, et civitatis quam elegisti, et templi quod ædificavi nomini tuo:

49 exaudies in cælo, in firmamento solii tui, orationes eorum et preces eorum, et facies judicium eorum:

50 et propitiaberis populo tuo qui peccavit tibi, et omnibus iniquitatibus eorum quibus prævaricati sunt in te: et dabis misericordiam coram eis qui eos captivos habuerint, ut misereantur eis.

51 Populus enim tuus est, et hæreditas tua, quos eduxisti de terra Ægypti, de medio fornacis ferreæ.

52 Ut sint oculi tui aperti ad deprecationem servi tui, et populi tui Israël, et exaudias eos in universis pro quibus invocaverint te.

53 Tu enim separasti eos tibi in hæreditatem de universis populis terræ, sicut locutus es per Moysen servum tuum quando eduxisti patres nostros de Ægypto, Domine Deus.

54 Factum est autem, cum complesset Salomon orans Dominum omnem orationem et deprecationem hanc, surrexit de conspectu altaris Domini: utrumque enim genu in terram fixerat, et manus expanderat in cælum.

55 Stetit ergo, et benedixit omni ecclesiæ Israël voce magna, dicens:

56 Benedictus Dominus, qui dedit requiem populo suo Israël, juxta omnia quæ locutus est: non cecidit ne unus quidem sermo ex omnibus bonis quæ locutus est per Moysen servum suum.

57 Sit Dominus Deus noster nobiscum, sicut fuit cum patribus nostris, non derelinquens nos, neque projiciens.

58 Sed inclinet corda nostra ad se, ut ambulemus in universis viis ejus, et custodiamus mandata ejus, et cæremonias ejus, et judicia quæcumque mandavit patribus nostris.

59 Et sint sermones mei isti, quibus deprecatus sum coram Domino, appropinquantes Domino Deo nostro die ac nocte, ut faciat judicium servo suo, et populo suo Israël per singulos dies:

60 ut sciant omnes populi terræ quia Dominus ipse est Deus, et non est ultra absque eo.

61 Sit quoque cor nostrum perfectum cum Domino Deo nostro, ut ambulemus in decretis ejus, et custodiamus mandata ejus, sicut et hodie.

62 Igitur rex, et omnis Israël cum eo, immolabant victimas coram Domino.

63 Mactavitque Salomon hostias pacificas, quas immolavit Domino, boum viginti duo millia, et ovium centum viginti millia: et dedicaverunt templum Domini rex et filii Israël.

64 In die illa sanctificavit rex medium atrii quod erat ante domum Domini: fecit quippe holocaustum ibi, et sacrificium, et adipem pacificorum: quoniam altare æreum quod erat coram Domino, minus erat, et capere non poterat holocaustum, et sacrificium, et adipem pacificorum.

65 Fecit ergo Salomon in tempore illo festivitatem celebrem, et omnis Israël cum eo, multitudo magna ab introitu Emath usque ad rivum Ægypti, coram Domino Deo nostro, septem diebus et septem diebus, id est, quatuordecim diebus.

66 Et in die octava dimisit populos: qui benedicentes regi, profecti sunt in tabernacula sua lætantes, et alacri corde super omnibus bonis quæ fecerat Dominus David servo suo, et Israël populo suo.
