6: And brought inH0935 the priestsH3548 -H0853 the arkH0727 of the covenantH1285 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 its place,H4725 intoH0413 the inner sanctuaryH1687 of the temple,H1004 toH0413 the mostH6944 the Most Holy [Place]H6944 underH0413 underH8478 the wingsH3671 of the cherubim.H3742

7: ForH3588 the cherubimH3742 spreadH6566 [their] two wingsH3671 overH0413 the placeH4725 of the ark,H0727 and overshadowedH5526 the cherubimH3742 uponH5921 the arkH0727 andH5921 its polesH0905 thereof above.H4605

8: And extendedH0748 the poles,H0905 so that could be seenH7200 the endsH7218 of the polesH0905 fromH4480 the holy [place]H6944 uponH5921 in frontH6440 of the inner sanctuary,H1687 but notH3808 they could be seenH7200 from outside-H2351 and they areH1961 thereH8033 toH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088

9: Nothing [was]H0369 in the arkH0727 exceptH7535 twoH8147 the tabletsH3871 of stone,H0068 whichH0834 putH3240 thereH8033 MosesH4872 at Horeb,H2722 whenH0834 made [a covenant]H3772 YahwehH3068 withH5973 the sonsH1121 of Israel,H3478 when they came outH3318 of the landH0776 of Egypt.H4714

10: And it came to pass,H1961 when came outH3318 the priestsH3548 ofH4480 the holy [place]H6944 that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 -H0853 the house ofH1004 Yahweh,H3068

11: so that notH3808 couldH3201 the priestsH3548 continueH5975 ministeringH8334 becauseH6440 of the cloud,H6051 forH3588 filledH4390 the gloryH3519 of YahwehH3068 -H0853 the houseH1004 of Yahweh.H3068

12: ThenH0227 spokeH0559 Solomon,H8010 YahwehH3068 saidH0559 He would dwellH7931 in the dark cloud.H6205

13: SurelyH1129 I have builtH1129 an houseH1004 exalted,H2073 and a placeH4349 for You to dwell inH3427 forever.H5769

14: And turned aroundH5437 the kingH4428 -H0853 his faceH6440 and blessedH1288 -H0853 wholeH3605 the assemblyH6951 of Israel,H3478 and while allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 was standing.H5975

15: And he said,H0559 Blessed [be]H1288 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 whoH0834 spokeH1696 with His mouthH6310 toH0854 DavidH1732 my father,H0001 and with His handH3027 has fulfilled [it]H4390 saying,H0559

16: SinceH4480 the dayH3117 thatH0834 I broughtH3318 -H0853 My peopleH5971 -H0853 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714 noH3808 I have chosenH0977 cityH5892 from anyH3605 tribeH7626 of IsraelH3478 [in which] to buildH1129 a house,H1004 that might beH1961 My nameH8034 there-H8033 but I choseH0977 DavidH1732 to beH1961 overH5921 My peopleH5971 Israel.H3478

17: Now it wasH1961 inH5973 the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH0001 to buildH1129 a templeH1004 for the NameH8034 of YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel.H3478

18: But saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 DavidH1732 my father,H0001 becauseH3282 WhereasH0834 it wasH1961 inH5973 your heartH3824 to buildH1129 a templeH1004 for My Name,H8034 you did wellH2895 thatH3588 it wasH1961 inH5973 your heart.H3824

19: NeverthelessH7535 youH0859 notH3808 shall buildH1129 the temple-H1004 forH3588 butH0518 your sonH1121 who will comeH3318 from your body,H2504 heH1931 shall buildH1129 the templeH1004 for My Name.H8034

20: So has fulfilledH6965 YahwehH3068 -H0853 His wordH1697 whichH0834 He spoke,H1696 and I have filledH6965 the positionH8478 of DavidH1732 my father,H0001 and sitH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of Israel,H3478 asH0834 promised,H1696 YahwehH3068 and I have builtH1129 a templeH1004 for the NameH8034 of YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel.H3478

21: And I have madeH7760 thereH8033 a placeH4725 for the ark,H0727 in which [is]H0834 -H8033 the covenantH1285 of Yahweh,H3068 whichH0834 He madeH3772 withH5973 our fathers,H0001 when He broughtH3318 themH0853 out of the landH0776 of Egypt.H4714

22: And stoodH5975 SolomonH8010 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of YahwehH3068 in the presenceH5048 of allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of Israel,H3478 and spread outH6566 his handsH3709 toward heaven.H8064

23: And he said,H0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 [there is] noH0369 like You,H3644 GodH0430 in heavenH8064 above,H4605 or onH5921 earthH0776 below,H8478 who keepH8104 [Your] covenantH1285 and loving faithfulnessH2617 with Your servantsH5650 who walkH1980 before YouH6440 with allH3605 their heart,H3820

24: whoH0834 You have keptH8104 Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH0001 -H0853 whatH0834 You promisedH1696 and You have both spokenH1696 with Your mouth,H6310 and with Your hand,H3027 fulfilled [it]H4390 as [it is] dayH3117 this.H2088

25: Therefore now,H6258 YahwehH3069 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 keepH8104 Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH0001 -H0853 whatH0834 You promisedH1696 saying,H0559 notH3808 shall fail to haveH3772 a manH0376 before MeH6440 sitH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of Israel-H3478 onlyH7535 ifH0518 take heed toH8104 your sonsH1121 -H0853 their way,H1870 that they walkH1980 before MeH6440 asH0834 you have walkedH1980 before Me.H6440

26: Now,H6258 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 let come true,H0539 I pray,H4994 Your word,H1697 whichH0834 You have spokenH1696 to Your servantH5650 DavidH1732 my father.H0001

27: ButH3588 will indeedH0552 dwellH3427 GodH0430 onH5921 the earth?H0776 behold,H2009 heavenH8064 and the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannotH3808 contain YouH3557 how much lessH0637 how much lessH3588 templeH1004 thisH2088 whichH0834 I have built?H1129

28: and yet regardH6437 untoH0413 the prayerH8605 of Your servant,H5650 andH0413 his supplication,H8467 YahwehH3068 my God,H0430 and listenH8085 toH0413 the cryH7440 andH0413 the prayer,H8605 whichH0834 Your servantH5650 is prayingH6419 before YouH6440 today-H3117

29: that may beH1961 Your eyesH5869 openH6605 towardH0413 templeH1004 thisH2088 nightH3915 and day,H3117 towardH0413 the placeH4725 of whichH0834 You said,H0559 shall beH1961 My nameH8034 there-H8033 that You may listenH8085 untoH0413 the prayerH8605 whichH0834 makesH6419 Your servantH5650 towardH0413 placeH4725 this.H2088

30: And may You listenH8085 untoH0413 the supplicationH8467 of Your servant,H5650 and of Your peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 whenH0834 they prayH6419 towardH0413 place-H4725 thisH2088 and YouH0859 hearH8085 inH0413 place-H4725 Your dwellingH3427 inH0413 heavenH8064 and when You hear,H8085 and forgive.H5545

31: -H0853 WhenH0834 sinsH2398 anyoneH0376 against his neighbor,H7453 and is forcedH5378 an oathH0423 to take,H0422 and comesH0935 [and] takes an oathH0423 beforeH6440 Your altarH4196 in temple,H1004 this.H2088

32: Then YouH0859 hearH8085 in heaven,H8064 and act,H6213 and judgeH8199 -H0853 Your servants,H5650 condemningH7561 the wicked,H7563 bringingH5414 his wayH1870 on his head-H7218 and justifyingH6663 the righteous,H6662 by givingH5414 according to his righteousness.H6666

33: When are defeatedH5062 Your peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 an enemy,H0341 becauseH0834 they have sinnedH2398 and when they turn backH7725 to YouH0413 and confessH3034 -H0853 Your name,H8034 and pray,H6419 and make supplicationH2603 to YouH0413 in temple,H1004 this.H2088

34: Then YouH0859 hearH8085 in heaven,H8064 and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of Your peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 and bring them backH7725 toH0413 the landH0127 whichH0834 You gaveH5414 to their fathers.H0001

35: When are shut up,H6113 the heavensH8064 and noH3808 there isH1961 rain,H4306 becauseH3588 they have sinnedH2398 and when they prayH6419 towardH0413 place,H4725 thisH2088 and confessH3034 -H0853 Your name,H8034 and from their sin,H2403 turnH7725 becauseH3588 You afflict them.H6031

36: Then YouH0859 hearH8085 in heaven,H8064 and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of Your servants,H5650 and Your peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 thatH3588 You may teach themH3384 -H0853 the wayH1870 goodH2896 in whichH0834 they should walk,H1980 and sendH5414 rainH4306 onH5921 Your land,H0776 whichH0834 You have givenH5414 to Your peopleH5971 as an inheritance.H5159

37: Famine,H7458 whenH3588 there isH1961 in the landH0776 pestilence,H1698 ifH3588 there beH1961 [or] blight,H7711 [or] mildew,H3420 locusts,H0697 [or] grasshoppers-H2625 ifH3588 there beH1961 whenH3588 besiegesH6887 their enemyH0341 in the landH0776 of their cities-H8179 whateverH3605 plague,H5061 or whateverH3605 sickness [there is].H4245

38: WhateverH3605 prayerH8605 anyH3605 supplicationH8467 whateverH0834 is madeH1961 byH3605 anyone,H0120 [or] by allH3605 Your peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 whenH0834 knowsH3045 each oneH0376 the plagueH5061 of his own heart,H3824 and spreads outH6566 his handsH3709 towardH0413 temple-H1004 this.H2088

39: Then YouH0859 hearH8085 in heavenH8064 place,H4349 Your dwellingH3427 and forgive,H5545 and act,H6213 and giveH5414 to everyoneH0376 according to allH3605 his ways,H1870 whoseH0834 You know-H3045 -H0853 heartH3824 forH3588 You,H0859 knowH3045 alone,H0905 -H0853 the heartsH3824 of allH3605 the sonsH1121 of men.H0120

40: ThatH4616 they may fear YouH3372 allH3605 the daysH3117 thatH0834 theyH1992 liveH2416 inH5921 -H6440 the landH0127 whichH0834 You gaveH5414 to our fathers.H0001

41: MoreoverH1571 concerningH0413 a foreigner,H5237 whoH0834 notH3808 of Your peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 isH1931 but has comeH0935 from a countryH0776 farH7350 for sakeH4616 of Your name.H8034

42: ForH3588 they will hearH8085 -H0853 of Your name,H8034 greatH1419 andH0853 Your hand,H3027 mightyH2389 and Your armH2220 outstretchedH5186 and when he comesH0935 and praysH6419 towardH0413 temple-H1004 this.H2088

43: YouH0859 hearH8085 in heavenH8064 place,H4349 Your dwellingH3427 and doH6213 according to allH3605 for whichH0834 callsH7121 to YouH0413 the foreignerH5237 thatH4616 may knowH3045 allH3605 peoplesH5971 of the earthH0776 -H0853 Your name,H8034 and fearH3372 YouH0853 as [do] Your peopleH5971 Israel-H3478 that they may knowH3045 thatH3588 Your name.H8034 Is calledH7121 byH5921 temple,H1004 thisH2088 whichH0834 I have built,H1129

44: whenH3588 go outH3318 Your peopleH5971 to battleH4421 againstH5921 their enemy,H0341 wayH1870 whereverH0834 You send themH7971 and when they prayH6419 toH0413 YahwehH3068 towardH1870 the toward cityH5892 whichH0834 You have chosen,H0977 and the templeH1004 whichH0834 I have builtH1129 for Your name,H8034

45: then hearH8085 in heavenH8064 -H0853 their prayerH8605 andH0853 their supplication,H8467 and maintainH6213 their cause.H4941

46: WhenH3588 they sinH2398 forH3588 [there is] noH0369 oneH0120 whoH0834 notH3808 does sinH2398 and You become angryH0599 and deliver themH5414 toH6440 the enemy,H0341 and they take themH7617 captiveH7617 toH0413 the landH0776 of the enemy,H0341 farH7350 orH0176 near-H7138

47: and [yet] when they come,H7725 toH0413 themselvesH3820 in the landH0776 whereH0834 they were carried captive,H7617 thereH8033 and repentH7725 and make supplicationH2603 to YouH0413 in the landH0776 of those who took them captive,H7617 saying,H0559 we have sinned,H2398 and done wrong,H5753 we have committed wickedness-H7561

48: and [when] they returnH7725 to YouH0413 with allH3605 their heart,H3824 and with allH3605 their soul,H5315 in the landH0776 of their enemies,H0341 whoH0834 led away captiveH7617 themH0853 and prayH6419 to YouH0413 towardH1870 their land,H0776 whichH0834 You gaveH5414 to their fathers,H0001 the cityH5892 whichH0834 You have chosen,H0977 and the templeH1004 whichH0834 I have builtH1129 for Your name-H8034

49: then hearH8085 in heavenH8064 place,H4349 Your dwellingH3427 -H0853 their prayerH8605 andH0853 their supplicationH8467 and maintainH6213 their cause,H4941

50: and forgiveH5545 Your peopleH5971 whoH0834 have sinnedH2398 and allH3605 their transgressionsH6588 whichH0834 they have transgressedH6586 and grant themH5414 compassionH7356 beforeH6440 those who took them captive,H7617 that they may have compassion on them.H7355

51: ForH3588 Your people,H5971 and Your inheritance,H5159 they [are]H1992 whomH0834 You broughtH3318 out of EgyptH4714 outH8432 of the furnaceH3564 iron-H1270

52: that may beH1961 Your eyesH5869 openH6605 toH0413 the supplicationH8467 of Your servant,H5650 andH0413 the supplicationH8467 of Your peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 to listenH8085 to themH0413 wheneverH3605 they callH7121 to You.H0413

53: ForH3588 YouH0859 separated them [to be]H0914 Your inheritance,H5159 from among allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earth,H0776 asH0834 You spokeH1696 byH3027 MosesH4872 Your servant,H5650 when You broughtH3318 -H0853 our fathersH0001 out of EgyptH4714 LordH0136 GOD.H3068

54: And so it wasH1961 when had finishedH3615 SolomonH8010 prayingH6419 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 -H0853 allH3605 prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 thisH2063 that he aroseH6965 from beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of Yahweh,H3068 from kneelingH3766 onH5921 his kneesH1290 and with his handsH3709 spread upH6566 to heaven.H8064

55: And he stood,H5975 and blessedH1288 -H0853 allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 with a voice,H6963 loudH1419 saying,H0559

56: Blessed [be]H1288 Yahweh,H3068 whoH0834 has givenH5414 restH4496 to His peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 according to allH3605 thatH0834 He promised-H1696 notH3808 there has failedH5307 wordH1697 oneH0259 of allH3605 His promise,H1697 goodH2896 whichH0834 He promisedH1696 throughH3027 MosesH4872 His servant.H5650

57: May beH1961 YahwehH3068 our GodH0430 with usH5973 asH0834 He wasH1961 withH5973 our fathers-H0001 notH0408 May He leave usH5800 norH0408 forsake us.H5203

58: That He may inclineH5186 our heartsH3824 to HimselfH0413 to walkH1980 in allH3605 His ways,H1870 and to keepH8104 His commandments,H4687 and His statutes,H2706 and His judgments,H4941 whichH0834 He commandedH6680 -H0853 our fathers.H0001

59: And mayH1961 words of mine,H1697 theseH0428 with whichH0834 I have made supplicationH2603 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 be nearH7126 untoH0413 YahwehH3068 our GodH0430 dayH3119 and night,H3915 that He may maintainH6213 the causeH4941 of His servant,H5650 and the causeH4941 of His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 matterH1697 day,H3117 day-H3117

60: thatH4616 may knowH3045 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH0776 thatH3588 YahwehH3068 isH1931 God,H0430 [there is] noH0369 other.H5750

61: Therefore let beH1961 your heartH3824 loyalH8003 toH5973 YahwehH3068 our God,H0430 to walkH1980 in His statutes,H2706 and keepH8104 His commandments,H4687 as at dayH3117 this.H2088

62: And the king,H4428 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973 offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 Yahweh.H3068
