7WHEN SOLOMON had finished praying, the fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house.H8010H3615H6419H784H3381H8064H398H5930H2077H3519H3068H4390H1004 2The priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.H3548H3201H935H1004H3068H3519H3068H4390H3068H1004 3And when all the people of Israel saw how the fire came down and the glory of the Lord upon the house, they bowed with their faces upon the pavement and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying, For He is good, for His mercy {and} loving-kindness endure forever.H1121H3478H7200H784H3381H3519H3068H1004H3766H639H776H7531H7812H3034H3068H2896H2617H5769 4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.H4428H5971H2076H2077H6440H3068 5King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God's house.H4428H8010H2076H2077H6242H8147H505H1241H3967H6242H505H6629H4428H5971H2596H1004H430 6The priests stood at their posts, and the Levites also, with instruments of music to the Lord, which King David had made to praise {and} give thanks to the Lord--for His mercy {and} loving-kindness endure forever--whenever David praised through their ministry; the priests blew trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.H3548H5975H4931H3881H3627H7892H3068H1732H4428H6213H3034H3068H2617H5769H1732H1984H3027H3548H2690H2690H3478H5975 7Moreover, Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord, for there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which [he] had made was not sufficient to receive the burnt offerings, the cereal offerings, and the fat.H8010H6942H8432H2691H6440H1004H3068H6213H5930H2459H8002H5178H4196H8010H6213H3201H3557H5930H4503H2459 8At that time Solomon held the feast for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.H6256H8010H6213H2282H7651H3117H3478H3966H1419H6951H935H2574H5158H4714 9The eighth day they made a solemn assembly, for they had kept the dedication of the altar and the feast, each for seven days.H8066H3117H6213H6116H6213H2598H4196H7651H3117H2282H7651H3117 10And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their homes, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the Lord had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel His people.H7969H6242H3117H7637H2320H7971H5971H7971H168H8056H2896H3820H2896H3068H6213H1732H8010H3478H5971 11Thus Solomon finished the Lord's house and the king's house; all that [he] had planned to do in the Lord's house and his own house he accomplished successfully.H8010H3615H1004H3068H4428H1004H935H8010H3820H6213H1004H3068H1004H6743 12And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night and said to him: I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.H3068H7200H8010H3915H559H8085H8605H977H4725H1004H2077 13If I shut up heaven so no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,H2005H6113H8064H4306H6680H2284H398H776H7971H1698H5971 14If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, {and} require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.H5971H7121H8034H3665H6419H1245H6440H7725H7451H1870H8085H8064H5545H2403H7495H776 15Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place.H5869H6605H241H7183H8605H4725 16For I have chosen and sanctified (set apart for holy use) this house, that My Name may be here forever, and My eyes and My heart will be here perpetually.H977H6942H1004H8034H5704H5769H5869H3820H3117 17As for you [Solomon], if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do all I have commanded you, and observe My statutes and My ordinances,H3212H6440H1732H1H1980H6213H6680H8104H2706H4941 18Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.H6965H3678H4438H3772H1732H1H559H3772H376H4910H3478 19But if you [people] turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you and go and serve other gods and worship them,H7725H5800H2708H4687H5414H6440H1980H5647H312H430H7812 20Then will I pluck [Israel] up by the roots out of My land which I have given [them]; and this house which I have hallowed for My Name will I cast out of My sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.H5428H127H5414H1004H6942H8034H7993H6440H5414H4912H8148H5971 21And this house, which was so high, shall be an astonishment to everyone passing it, and they will say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?H1004H5945H8074H5674H559H3068H6213H776H1004 22Then men will say, Because they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers, Who brought them out of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and worshiped and served them; therefore has He brought all this evil upon them.H559H5800H3068H430H1H3318H776H4714H2388H312H430H7812H5647H935H7451
