Then Solomon
assembled
the elders
of Israel,
and all the heads
of the tribes,
the chief
of the fathers
of the children
of Israel,
unto king
Solomon
in Jerusalem,
that they might bring up
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
out of the city
of David,
which is Zion.

And all the men
of Israel
assembled
themselves unto king
Solomon
at the feast
in the month
Ethanim,
which is the seventh
month.
And all the elders
of Israel
came,
and the priests
took up
the ark.
And they brought up
the ark
of the LORD,
and the tabernacle
of the congregation,
and all the holy
vessels
that were in the tabernacle,
even those did the priests
and the Levites
bring up.
And king
Solomon,
and all the congregation
of Israel,
that were assembled
unto him, were with him before
the ark,
sacrificing
sheep
and oxen,
that could not be told
nor numbered
for multitude.
And the priests
brought in
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
unto his place,
into the oracle
of the house,
to the most
holy
place, even under the wings
of the cherubims.

And they drew out
the staves,
that the ends
of the staves
were seen out
in the holy
place before
the oracle,
and they were not seen
without:
and there they are unto this day.
There was nothing in the ark
save
the two
tables
of stone,
which Moses
put
there at Horeb,
when the LORD
made
a covenant with the children
of Israel,
when they came out
of the land
of Egypt.

And it came to pass, when the priests
were come out
of the holy
place, that the cloud
filled
the house
of the LORD,
So that the priests
could
not stand
to minister
because
of the cloud:
for the glory
of the LORD
had filled
the house
of the LORD.
Then spake
Solomon,
The LORD
said
that he would dwell
in the thick darkness.
I have surely
built
thee an house
to dwell in,
a settled place
for thee to abide in
for ever.
And the king
turned
his face
about,
and blessed
all the congregation
of Israel:
(and all the congregation
of Israel
stood;
)
And he said,
Blessed
be the LORD
God
of Israel,
which spake
with his mouth
unto David
my father,
and hath with his hand
fulfilled
it, saying,
say
Since the day
that I brought forth
my people
Israel
out of Egypt,
I chose
no city
out of all the tribes
of Israel
to build
an house,
that my name
might be therein; but I chose
David
to be over my people
Israel.

And it was in the heart
of David
my father
to build
an house
for the name
of the LORD
God
of Israel.
And the LORD
said
unto David
my father,
Whereas
it was in thine heart
to build
an house
unto my name,
thou didst well
that it was in thine heart.
say
Nevertheless
thou shalt not build
the house;
but thy son
that shall come forth out
of thy loins,
he shall build
the house
unto my name.
And the LORD
hath performed
his word
that he spake,
and I am risen up
in the room of David
my father,
and sit
on the throne
of Israel,
as the LORD
promised,
and have built
an house
for the name
of the LORD
God
of Israel.
And I have set
there a place
for the ark,
wherein is the covenant
of the LORD,
which he made
with our fathers,
when he brought them out
of the land
of Egypt.
And Solomon
stood
before
the altar
of the LORD
in the presence of
all the congregation
of Israel,
and spread forth
his hands
toward heaven:
Salōmōn
Σαλωμων

And he said,
LORD
God
of Israel,
there is no God
like thee, in heaven
above,
or on earth
beneath, who keepest
covenant
and mercy
with thy servants
that walk
before
thee with all their heart:
say
Who hast kept
with thy servant
David
my father
that thou promisedst
him: thou spakest
also with thy mouth,
and hast fulfilled
it with thine hand,
as it is this day.
Therefore now, LORD
God
of Israel,
keep
with thy servant
David
my father
that thou promisedst
him, saying,
There shall not fail
thee a man
in my sight
to sit
on the throne
of Israel;
so
that thy children
take heed
to their way,
that they walk
before
me as thou hast walked
before
me.
And now, O God
of Israel,
let thy word,
I pray thee, be verified,
which thou spakest
unto thy servant
David
my father.
But will God
indeed
dwell
on the earth?
behold, the heaven
and heaven
of heavens
cannot contain
thee; how much less
this house
that I have builded?
Yet have thou respect
unto the prayer
of thy servant,
and to his supplication,
O LORD
my God,
to hearken
unto the cry
and to the prayer,
which thy servant
prayeth
before
thee to day:

That thine eyes

which thy servant
shall make
toward this place.

And hearken
thou to the supplication

and of thy people

when they shall pray

and when thou hearest,

and justifying

to give

When thy people
Israel
be smitten down
before
the enemy,
because they have sinned
against thee, and shall turn again
to thee, and confess
thy name,
and pray,
and make supplication
unto thee in this house:
Then hear
thou in heaven,
and forgive
the sin
of thy people
Israel,
and bring them again
unto the land
which thou gavest
unto their fathers.
When heaven
is shut up,
and there is no rain,
because they have sinned
against thee; if they pray
toward this place,
and confess
thy name,
and turn
from their sin,
when thou afflictest
them:
Then hear
thou in heaven,
and forgive
the sin
of thy servants,
and of thy people
Israel,
that thou teach
them the good
way
wherein they should walk,
and give

to thy people
for an inheritance.

Then hear

for

(For they shall hear

Hear
thou in heaven

calleth
to thee for: that all people

may know

thee, as do thy people

and that they may know
that this house,
which I have builded,
is called
by thy name.

Then hear

that sinneth
not,) and thou be angry

so that they carry them away

or near;
Yet if they shall bethink
themselves in the land
whither they were carried captives,

of them that carried them captives,

We have sinned,
and have done perversely,
we have committed wickedness;

Then hear

And forgive

wherein they have transgressed

and unto the supplication
of thy people
Israel,
to hearken

For thou didst separate
them from among all the people
of the earth,
to be thine inheritance,
as thou spakest

of Moses
thy servant,
when thou broughtest
our fathers
out of Egypt,
O Lord
GOD.

And it was so, that when Solomon
had made an end

unto the LORD,
he arose

from kneeling

with his hands
spread up
