7When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.H8010H3615H6419H784H3381H8064H398H5930H2077H3519H3068H4390H1004
2The priests could not enter the temple of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled it.H3548H3201H935H1004H3068H3519H3068H4390H3068H1004
3When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, "He is good; his love endures forever."H1121H3478H7200H784H3381H3519H3068H1004H3766H639H776H7531H7812H3034H3068H2896H2617H5769
4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.H4428H5971H2076H2077H6440H3068
5And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and goats. So the king and all the people dedicated the temple of God.H4428H8010H2076H2077H6242H8147H505H1241H3967H6242H505H6629H4428H5971H2596H1004H430
6The priests took their positions, as did the Levites with the LORD's musical instruments, which King David had made for praising the LORD and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, "His love endures forever." Opposite the Levites, the priests blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.H3548H5975H4931H3881H3627H7892H3068H1732H4428H6213H3034H3068H2617H5769H1732H1984H3027H3548H2690H2690H3478H5975
7Solomon consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the LORD, and there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat portions.H8010H6942H8432H2691H6440H1004H3068H6213H5930H2459H8002H5178H4196H8010H6213H3201H3557H5930H4503H2459
8So Solomon observed the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt.H6256H8010H6213H2282H7651H3117H3478H3966H1419H6951H935H2574H5158H4714
9On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival for seven days more.H8066H3117H6213H6116H6213H2598H4196H7651H3117H2282H7651H3117
10On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things the LORD had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel.H7969H6242H3117H7637H2320H7971H5971H7971H168H8056H2896H3820H2896H3068H6213H1732H8010H3478H5971
11When Solomon had finished the temple of the LORD and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the LORD and in his own palace,H8010H3615H1004H3068H4428H1004H935H8010H3820H6213H1004H3068H1004H6743
12the LORD appeared to him at night and said: "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices.H3068H7200H8010H3915H559H8085H8605H977H4725H1004H2077
13"When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,H2005H6113H8064H4306H6680H2284H398H776H7971H1698H5971
14if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.H5971H7121H8034H3665H6419H1245H6440H7725H7451H1870H8085H8064H5545H2403H7495H776
15Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.H5869H6605H241H7183H8605H4725
16I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.H977H6942H1004H8034H5704H5769H5869H3820H3117
17"As for you, if you walk before me faithfully as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees and laws,H3212H6440H1732H1H1980H6213H6680H8104H2706H4941
18I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said, 'You shall never fail to have a successor to rule over Israel.'H6965H3678H4438H3772H1732H1H559H3772H376H4910H3478
19"But if you turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them,H7725H5800H2708H4687H5414H6440H1980H5647H312H430H7812
20then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples.H5428H127H5414H1004H6942H8034H7993H6440H5414H4912H8148H5971
21This temple will become a heap of rubble. All who pass by will be appalled and say, 'Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?'H1004H5945H8074H5674H559H3068H6213H776H1004
22People will answer, 'Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.' "H559H5800H3068H430H1H3318H776H4714H2388H312H430H7812H5647H935H7451
