King Solomon - Was King Over All Hebrews

There Was Great Joy In Jerusalem - for since the time of Solomon

Son Of David King Of Hebrews - there was not the like in Jerusalem.

Then Sat Solomon Upon The Throne - of David His Father.

His Kingdom Was Established - greatly.

Adonijah Son of Haggith - came to Bathsheba the Mother of Solomon.

She Said Comest Thou - Peaceably ? He said Peaceably.

He Said Moreover I Have Somewhat To Say To Thee - She said Say on.

He Said Thou Knowest That The Kingdom Was Mine - and

That All Hebrews Set Their Faces - on me that I should reign howbeit.

The Kingdom Is Turned About - is become my brother's for it was his from God.

Now I Ask One Petition Of Thee Deny Me Not - She said to him Say on.

He Said Speak I Pray Thee To Solomon The King - for he will not say thee

Nay That He Give Me - Abishag the Shunammite to Wife.

Bathsheba Said Well - I will speak for thee to the King.

Bathsheba Therefore Went To King Solomon - to speak to him for Adonijah.

The King Rose Up To Meet Her - and bowed himself to her and sat down

On His Throne - and caused a seat to be set for the King's Mother and

She Sat On - his right hand.

Then She Said I Desire - one small petition of thee I pray thee say me not nay.

The King Said To Her - Ask on my Mother for I will not say thee nay.

She Said Let Abishag The Shunammite - be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

King Solomon Answered - and said to his Mother and why dost thou ask

Abishag The Shunammite - for Adonijah ?

Ask For Him The Kingdom Also - for he is mine elder brother even for him and

Tor Abiathar The Priest - and for Joab the Son of Zeruiah.

Then King Solomon Sware By God Saying - God do so to me and more

Also If Adonijah Have Not Spoken - this word against his own life.

Now Therefore As God Liveth - that Hath Established me and

Set Me On The Throne Of David - my Father and

Who Hath Made Me An House - as he promised Adonijah

Shall Be Put - to death this day.

King Solomon Sent By The Hand Of Benaiah - Son of Jehoiada and

He Fell Upon Him - that he died.

To Abiathar The Priest Said The King - Get Thee to Anathoth to thine own fields

For Thou Art Worthy of death but I will not at this time put thee to death because

Thou Barest The Ark Of God - before David my Father and

Because Thou Hast Been Afflicted In All - wherein my Father was afflicted.

So Solomon Thrust Out Abiathar - from being Priest to God

That He Might Fulfil The Word Of God - that he spake

Concerning The House - of Eli in Shiloh.

Then Tidings Came To Joab - for Joab had turned after Adonijah

Though He Turned Not - after Absalom.

Joab Fled To The Tabernacle Of God - and caught hold on The Horns of The Altar.

It Was Told King Solomon - that Joab fled to The Tabernacle Of God

Behold He Is - by The Altar.

Then Solomon Sent Benaiah - the Son of Jehoiada saying Go fall upon him.

Benaiah Came To The Tabernacle Of God - and said to him

Thus Saith The King - Come forth. He Said Nay - but I will die here.

Benaiah Brought The King Word Again Saying - Thus said Joab and

Thus He Answered - me.

The King Said To Him - Do as he hath said and fall upon him and bury him

That Thou Mayest Take Away - the innocent blood that Joab shed

From Me and From - The House of my Father.

God Shall Return His Blood - upon his own head who fell

Upon Two Men - more righteous and

Better Than He - and slew them with the sword my Father David

Not Knowing Thereof - to wit

Abner The Son Of Ner Captain - of the Host of Israel and

Amasa The Son Of Jether Captain - of the Host of Judah.

Their Blood Shall Therefore Return - upon the head of Joab

Upon The Head Of - his seed for ever

Upon David and Upon His Seed - upon His House and

Upon His Throne Shall There Be Peace - for ever from God.

Benaiah The Son Of Jehoiada - went up and fell upon him and slew him and

He Was Buried In - his own House in The Wilderness.

The King Put Benaiah - the Son of Jehoiada in His Room over the Host and

Zadok The Priest Did The King Put - in the room of Abiathar.

The King Sent and Called For - Shimei and said to him

Build Thee An House In Jerusalem - and dwell there and

Go Not Forth - thence any whither.

For It Shall Be That On The Day - thou goest out and

Passest Over The - Brook Kidron

Thou Shalt Know For Certain - that

Thou Shalt Surely Die - thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

Shimei Said To The King - the saying is good as the King hath said

So Will Thy Servant - Do. Shimei Swelt In Jerusalem - many days.

At The End Of Three Years - that

Two Of The Servants Of Shimei - ran away to Achish

Son Of Maachah - King of Gath.

They Told Shimei Saying - Behold thy servants be in Gath.

Shimei Arose and Saddled - his ass and went to Gath to Achish

To Seek His Servants - and Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath.

It Was Told Solomon - that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and Was Come again.

The King Sent and Called For Shimei - and said to him

Did I Not Make Thee To Swear By God - and protested to thee saying

Know For A Certain On The Day - thou goest out and walkest abroad

Any Whither That Thou - shalt surely die ?

Thou Saidst To Me The Word - that I have heard is good.

Why Then Hast Thou Not Kept The Oath Of God - and The Commandments

That I Have Charged Thee - with ?

The King Said Moreover To Shimei - Thou Knowest all the wickedness

That Thine Heart Is Privy To That Thou - didst to David my Father therefore

God Shall Return Thy Wickedness - upon thine own head King Solomon

Shall Be Blessed - and The Throne of David

Shall Be Established Before God - for ever.

So The King Commanded Benaiah - the Son of Jehoiada that went out and

Fell Upon Him - that he died.

The Kingdom Was Established - in the hand of Solomon.

Solomon Made Affinity With - Pharaoh King of Egypt and took

Pharaoh's Daughter - and brought her into The City Of David until

He Had Made An End Of - building his own House and

The House Of God and The Wall Of - Jerusalem round about.

Only The People Sacrificed - in High Places because there was

No House Built To The Name Of God - until those days.

Solomon Loved God - Walking in The Statutes of David his Father

Only He Sacrificed - and burnt incense in High Places.

The King Went to Gibeon - to sacrifice there

For That Was - The Great High Place.

A Thousand Offerings Did Solomon - offer upon That Altar.

In Gibeon God Appeared To Solomon - in a dream by night God said

Ask What I Shall Give - Thee.

Solomon Said Thou Hast Shewed - to thy servant David my Father great mercy

According As He Walked Before Thee - in Truth and in Righteousness and

In Uprightness Of Heart With Thee - and Thou hast kept for Him

This Great Kindness That Thou - hast given him a Son

To Sit On His Throne - as it is this day.

Now O God Thou Hast Made Thy Servant King - instead of David

My Father and I Am - but a little Child I know not how to go out or come in.

Thy Servant Is In The Midst Of Thy People - that

Thou Hast Chosen A Great People - that cannot be numbered

Nor Counted - for multitude.

Give Therefore Thy Servant - an Understanding Heart to Judge Thy People

That I May Discern Between Good - and bad

For Who Is Able To Judge This - thy so great a People ?

The Speech Pleased God - that Solomon had asked this thing.

God Said To Him - Because thou hast asked this thing and

Hast Not Asked For Thyself Long Life - neither hast asked riches for thyself

Nor Hast Asked - the life of thine enemies but

Hast Asked For Thyself Understanding - to discern Judgment

Behold I Have Done According To Thy Words - lo I have given thee a wise and

An Understanding Heart So That - there was none like Thee before Thee

Neither After Thee Shall Any Arise - like to Thee.

I Have Also Given Thee That - that thou hast not asked both riches and honour

So That There Shall Not Be Any - among the Kings like to Thee all Thy days.

If Thou Wilt Walk In My Ways - to keep My Statutes and My Commandments.

As Thy Father David Did Walk Then - I will lengthen Thy days.

Solomon Awoke - and behold it was a dream.

He Came To Jerusalem - and stood before The Ark Of The Covenant Of God and

Offered Up Offerings Peace Offerings - made a feast to all his servants.

Then Came There Two Women - that were harlots

To The King - and stood before him.

The One Woman Said O My King - I and this Woman dwell in one house and

I Was Delivered Of A Child - with Her in the house.

It Came To Pass The Third Day - after that I was delivered that this Woman

Was Delivered Also - and we were together there was no stranger with us

In The House Save We Two - in the house.

This Woman's Child Died In The Night - because she overlaid it.

She Arose At Midnight - and took my Son from beside me.

While Thine Handmaid Slept - and laid it in her bosom and

Laid Her Dead - Child in my bosom.

When I Rose In The Morning - to give my Child suck behold it was dead

When I Had Considered It - in the morning behold it was not my Son that I did bear.

The Other Woman Said Nay - but the living is my Son and the dead is thy Son.

This Said No - but the dead is thy Son and the living is my Son.

Thus They Spake - before the King. Then Said The King

The One Saith - This is my Son that liveth and

Thy Son Is The Dead - and the other saith Nay but

Thy Son Is The Dead - and my Son is the living.

The King Said Bring Me A Sword - they brought a sword before the King.

The King Said - Divide the living Child in two and

Give Half To The One - and half to the other.

Then Spake The Woman - whose the living Child was to the King

For Her Bowels Yearned - upon her Son and She said

O God Give Her The Living Child - and in no wise slay it.

The Other Said - let it be neither mine nor thine divide it.

Then The King Answered - and said Give her the living Child and

In No Wise Slay It - She is the Mother thereof.

All Hebrews Heard Of The Judgment - that the King had judged and

They Feared - the King.

For They Saw That The Wisdom Of God - was in him to do Judgment.

In The Four Hundred and Eightieth Year - after the Children of Hebrews

Were Come Out Of - the land of Egypt.

In The Fourth Year Of Solomon's Reign - over Hebrews in the month Zif

That Is The Second Month - that he began to build The House Of God.

The House That King Solomon - Built For God

The Length Thereof Was - threescore cubits and

The Breadth Thereof - twenty cubits and the height thereof thirty cubits.

The Porch Before The Temple - of the house twenty cubits was the length thereof

According To The Breadth of The House - ten cubits was.

The Breadth Thereof - before The House.

For The House He Made Windows - of narrow lights.

Until Solomon Had Built The House Of God - in Jerusalem.

Then They Waited On Their Office - according to their Order.

They Shall Not Sell Of It - Neither Exchange.

Nor Alienate The First Fruits Of The Land - for it is Holy to God.

These Were The Princes - Azariah Son of Zadok the Priest Elihoreph Ahiah

Solomon Had Twelve Officers Over All Hebrews - that provided victuals

For The King and His Household - each Man his month in a year made provision.

They Ministered Before - The Dwelling Place Of

The Tabernacle Of The Congregation - with Singing.

Until Solomon Had Built - The House Of God in Jerusalem.

Then They Waited - on Their Office according to Their Order.

Solomon Reigned Over All Kingdoms - from The River.

To The Land Of - the Philistines and to border of Egypt.

Scribes - the Princes that he had Azariah Son of Zadok the Priest

Solomon's Provision For One Day - was thirty measures of Fine Flour and

Threescore Measures - of meal

Ten Fat Oxen - and twenty oxen out of the pastures an hundred sheep beside

Harts and Roebucks - and fallow deer and fatted fowl.

For He Had Dominion Over All The Region - on this side The River

From Tiphsah Even To Azzah - over all Kings on this side The River and

He Had Peace - on all sides round about him.

Judah and Israel Dwelt Safely Every Man Under His Vine - and

Under His Fig Tree From Dan - even to Beersheba all the days of Solomon.

Solomon Had Forty Thousand Stalls Of Horses - for his chariots

Twelve Thousand - horsemen.

Those Officers Provided Victual For King Solomon - and for all that came

To King Solomon's Table - every Man in his month they lacked nothing.

Barley Also and Straw For The Horses - dromedaries brought they

To The Place Where - the Officers were every Man according to his Charge.

God Gave Solomon Wisdom and Understanding - exceeding much and

Largeness Of Heart - even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

Solomon's Wisdom Excelled - The Wisdom of

All The Children of The East Countries - and all Wisdom of Egypt.

He Was Wiser Than All Men - than Ethan the Ezrahite Heman Chalcol and

Darda Sons Of Mahol - his fame was in all Nations round about.

He Spake Three Thousand Proverbs - his Songs were a thousand and five.

He Spake Of Trees - from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon to

The Hyssop That Springeth - out of The Wall he spake also

Of Animals and Of Fowl - and of creeping things and of fishes.

There Came Of All Peoples To Hear - The Wisdom of Solomon.

All Kings Of The Earth - had heard of his Wisdom.

Against The Wall Of The House - he built Chambers round about

Against The Walls - of The House round about

Both Of The Temple - and of The Oracle he made Chambers round about

The Nethermost Chamber Was - five cubits broad

The Middle Was - six cubits broad and the third was seven cubits broad

For Without In The Wall Of The House - he made narrowed rests round about

That The Beams Should Not Be Fastened - in The Walls of The House.

The House When It Was In Building - was built of stone made ready before

It Was Brought Thither - so that there was neither hammer

Nor Axe Nor Any Tool Of Iron - heard in The House while it was in building.

The Door For The Middle Chamber Was - in the right side of The House and

They Went Up With Winding Stairs - into the middle chamber and

Out Of The Middle - into the third.

So He Built The House - and finished it and covered

The House With Beams - and boards of cedar.

Then He Built Chambers Against All - The House five cubits high and

They Rested On The House - with timber of cedar.

The Word Of God - came to Solomon saying

Concerning This House That - thou art in building

If Thou Wilt Walk In My Statutes and execute My Judgments and

Keep All - My Commandments

To Walk In Them - Then Will I Perform My Word with Thee

That I Spake To - David thy Father

I Will Dwell Among - the Children of Hebrews

Will Not Forsake - My People Hebrews.

So Solomon Built The House - and finished it.

He Built The Walls Of The House Within - with boards of cedar both

The Floor Of The House - and The Walls of the ceiling and he covered them

On The Inside With Wood - and covered the floor of The House with planks of fir.

He Built Twenty Cubits - on the sides of The House both the floor and

The Walls With Boards Of Cedar - he even built them for it within

Even For The Oracle - even for The Most Holy Place.

The House That Is The Temple - before it was forty cubits long.

The Cedar Of The House Within - was carved with knops and open flowers

All Was Cedar - there was no stone seen.

The Oracle - he prepared in The House within to set there

The Ark Of - The Covenant Of God.

The Oracle On The Forepart - was twenty cubits in length and

Twenty Cubits In Breadth - and twenty cubits in the height thereof and

He Overlaid It With - pure gold and so covered The Altar that was of cedar.

So Solomon Overlaid The House Within - with pure gold and

He Made A Partition By - the chains of gold

Before The Oracle - and he overlaid it with gold.

The Whole House He Overlaid - with gold until he had finished all The House

Also The Whole Altar - that was by The Oracle he overlaid with gold.

Within The Oracle He Made - two cherubims of olive tree each ten cubits high.

Five Cubits Was The One Wing - of the cherub and five cubits

The Other Wing Of The Cherub - from the uttermost part of the one wing

To The Uttermost Part Of The Other - were ten cubits.

The Other Cherub Was - ten cubits

Both The Cherubims - were of one measure and one size.

Height Of The One Cherub Was - ten cubits and so was it of the other cherub.

He Set The Cherubims Within The Inner House - and they stretched forth

The Wings Of The Cherubims - so that the wing of the one touched

The One Wall and The Wing Of - the other Cherub touched the other wall and

Their Wings Touched One Another - in the midst of The House.

He Overlaid The Cherubims - with gold.

He Carved All The Walls Of The House - round about with carved figures

Of Cherubims - and palm trees and open flowers within and without.

The Floors of The House - he overlaid with gold within and without.

For The Entering of The Oracle - he made doors of olive tree

The Lintel and Side Posts - were a fifth part of The Wall.

The Two Doors Also - were of olive tree and he carved upon them

Carvings Of Cherubims - and palm trees and open flowers and overlaid them

With Gold and Spread - gold upon The Cherubims and upon the palm trees.

So Also Made He For The Door Of The Temple - posts of olive tree

A Fourth Part - of The Wall. The Two Doors Were Of - fir tree

The Two Leaves Of The One Door - were folding and

The Two Leaves Of The Other Door - were folding.

He Carved Thereon Cherubims - and palm trees and

Open Flowers and Covered Them - with gold fitted upon The Carved Work.

He Built The Inner Court - with three rows of hewed stone a row of cedar beams.

In The Fourth Year was The Foundation of The House Of God laid in the month Zif

In The Eleventh Year - in the month Bul that is the eighth month was

The House Finished Throughout - all the parts thereof and

According To All The Fashion - of it.

So Was He Seven Years - in building it.

Then Solomon Assembled - the elders of Hebrews and

All The Heads Of The Tribes - the Chief of the Fathers of the Children of Hebrews

To King Solomon In Jerusalem - that they might bring up

The Ark Of The Covenant Of God - Out Of The City Of David that is Zion.

All The Men Of Hebrews Assembled Themselves - to King Solomon.

At The Feast In The Month - Ethanim that is the seventh month.

All The Elders Of Hebrews - came and the Priests took up The Ark.

They Brought Up The Ark Of God - 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.

King Solomon - and All The Congregations Of The Hebrews.

That Were Assembled To Him Were - with him before The Ark

The Priests Brought In - The Ark Of The Covenant Of God to

His Place - into The Oracle of The House to The Most Holy Place

Even Under The Wings - of The Cherubims.

For The Cherubims Spread Forth - their two wings over The Place of The Ark and

The Cherubims Covered The Ark - and The Staves thereof above.

They Drew Out The Staves - that the ends of The Staves

Were Seen Out - in The Holy Place

Before The Oracle - they were not seen without and there they are to this day.

There Was Nothing In The Ark - save The Two Tables of Stone

That Moses Put There - at Horeb

When God Made A Covenant - with the Children of Hebrews

When They Came Out Of - the land of Egypt.

When The Priests - were come out of The Holy Place

That The Cloud - filled The House Of God

So That The Priests Could Not - stand to Minister because of

The Cloud For The Glory Of God - had filled The House Of God.

Then Spake Solomon - God 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.

The King Turned His Face - about and blessed all The Congregation of Hebrews

All The Congregation Of Hebrews Stood - he said Blessed Be God Of Hebrews

Since The Day That I - brought forth my People Hebrews out of Egypt

I Chose No City Out Of All The Tribes Of Hebrews - to build an House

That My Name Might Be Therein - I chose David to be over my People Hebrews.

It Was In The Heart Of David - my Father

To Build An House - for The Name Of God Of Hebrews.

God Said To David My Father - Whereas it was in thine heart to build

An House To My Name - thou didst well that it was in thine heart.

Nevertheless Thou Shalt Not Build The House - but thy Son

That Shall Come Forth - out of thy loins he shall build The House to My Name.

God 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 The Hebrews

As God Promised - and have built an House for The Name Of God Of Hebrews.

I Have Set There A Place For The Ark - wherein is The Covenant Of God

That He Made With Our Fathers - when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

Solomon Stood Before The Altar Of God - in the presence of all

The Congregation Of Hebrews - and spread forth his hands toward Heaven.

He Said God Of Hebrews - 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 - 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.

Now O God Of Hebrews - let thy word I pray thee be verified

That Thou Spakest To - thy servant David my Father.

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 To The Prayer - of thy servant and to his Supplication

O God To Hearken To The Cry - and to The Prayer

That Thy Servant Prayeth - before thee to day

That Thine Eyes May Be Open - toward This House night and day

Even Toward The Place Of That - Thou Hast Said

My Name Shall Be There - that thou mayest hearken to The Prayer

That Thy Servant Shall Make - toward This Place.

Hearken Thou To The Supplication - of thy servant and of thy People Hebrews

When They Shall Pray Toward This Place - and

Hear Thou In Heaven Thy Dwelling Place - and when thou hearest forgive.

If Any Man Trespass Against His Neighbour - and an Oath be laid upon him

To Cause Him To Swear - and The Oath come before thine Altar in This House.

Then Hear Thou In Heaven - and do and Judge thy servants condemning

The Wicked To Bring His Way - upon his head and

Justifying The Righteous - to give him according to his Righteousness.

When Thy People Hebrews - 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 to Thee in This House.

Then Hear Thou In Heaven - and forgive the sin of thy People Hebrews and

Bring Them Again To The Land That - thou gavest to 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 Hebrews - that thou teach them The Good Way

Wherein They Should Walk - and give rain upon Thy Land

That Thou Hast Given To Thy People - for an inheritance.

If There Be In The Land Famine - if there be pestilence blasting mildew locust

Or If There Be Caterpiller - if their enemy besiege them in the Land of their Cities

Whatsoever Plague Whatsoever Sickness - there be.

What Prayer and Supplication - so ever be made by any Man or by all

Thy People Hebrews - that shall know every Man

The Plague Of His Own Heart - and spread forth his hands toward This House.

Then Hear Thou In Heaven Thy Dwelling Place - and forgive and do and

Give To Every Man According To His Ways - whose heart thou knowest

For Thou Even Thou Only Knowest - the hearts of all the Children of Men.

That They May Fear Thee All The Days - that they live in The Land.

That Thou Gavest To - Our Fathers.

Moreover Concerning A Stranger - that is not of thy People Hebrews

Cometh Out Of A Far Country - For Thy Name's Sake

For They Shall Hear Of Thy Great Name - and of thy strong hand and

Of Thy Stretched Out Arm - when He shall come and pray toward This House.

Hear Thou In Heaven Thy Dwelling Place - and Do according to all that

The Stranger Calleth To Thee - for that

All People Of The Earth - may know Thy Name

To Fear Thee As Do Thy People Hebrews - and that they may know

That This House That I Have Builded - is called by Thy Name.

If Thy People Go Out To Battle Against - their enemy whithersoever

Thou Shalt Send Them - and shall pray to God toward The City

That Thou Hast Chosen - and toward The House that I have built for Thy Name.

Then Hear Thou In Heaven Their Prayer - and their Supplication and

Maintain - Their Cause.

If They Sin Against Thee - for there is no Man that sinneth not and

Thou Be Angry With Them - and deliver them to the enemy

So That They Carry Them Away Captives - to the land of the enemy far or near.

Yet If They Shall Bethink Themselves - in The Land whither

They Were Carried Captives - and Repent and make Supplication

To Thee In The Land - of them that carried them captives saying

We Have Sinned - and have done perversely we have committed wickedness

So Return To Thee With All Their Heart - and with all their soul in the land

Of Their Enemies That - led them away captive and

Pray To Thee Toward Their Land - that Thou gavest to their Fathers

The City That Thou Hast Chosen - and The House that I have built for Thy Name.

Then Hear Thou Their Prayer and their Supplication

In Heaven Thy - Dwelling Place

Maintain Their Cause - and forgive thy People that have sinned against Thee and

All Their Transgressions Wherein - they have

Transgressed Against Thee - and give them

Compassion Before Them - who carried them captive

That They May Have - compassion on them

For They Be Thy People - and Thine Inheritance that Thou broughtest forth

Out Of Egypt From - the midst of the furnace of iron

That Thine Eyes May Be Open To - the Supplication of thy servant and

To The Supplication Of Thy People Hebrews - to Hearken to them

In All That They Call For - to Thee.

For Thou Didst Separate Them - from

Among All - the People of The Earth

To Be Thine Inheritance - as thou spakest by the hand of Moses

Thy Servant When Thou Broughtest - our Fathers out of Egypt O God.

It Was So That When Solomon - had made an end of praying all this prayer and

Supplication To God - he arose from before The Altar Of God

From Kneeling On His Knees - with his hands spread up to Heaven.

He Stood - blessed all The Congregation of Hebrews with a loud voice saying

Blessed Be God That Hath Given Rest - to his People Hebrews

According To All - that He Promised

There Hath Not Failed One Word - of all His Good Promise

That He Promised - by the hand of Moses his servant.

God Be With Us As - he was with our Fathers

Let Him Not Leave Us - Nor Forsake us

That He May Incline Our Hearts To Him - to Walk in all His Ways and

To Keep His Commandments - and His Statutes and His Judgments

That He Commanded - Our Fathers.

Let These My Words Wherewith - I have made supplication

Before God - be nigh to Thee

God Day and Night - that He Maintain The Cause of his servant and

The Cause Of His People Hebrews - at all times

As The Matter - shall require.

That All The Peoples - of The Earth

May Know That Is God - and that there is none else.

Let Your Heart Therefore Be Perfect - with God to Walk in His Statutes and

To Keep His Commandments - as at This Day.

The King and All Hebrews With Him Offered Sacrifice - before God.

Solomon Offered A Sacrifice Of Peace Offerings - that he offered to God

So The King - and all the Children of Hebrews dedicated The House Of God.

The Same Day Did The King Hallow - the middle of The Court that was before

The House Of God - for there he offered Offerings and Peace Offerings

Because The Brasen Altar - that was before God - was too little

At That Time Solomon Held A Feast - and all Hebrews with him

A Great Congregation - from the entering in of Hamath to the River of Egypt

Before God Seven Days - and seven days even fourteen days.

On The Eighth Day - he sent the People away and they blessed the King and

Went To Their Tents Joyful - and glad of heart for all the goodness

That God Had Done For David - his servant and for Hebrews his People.

Then Solomon Assembled - The Elders of Hebrews and

All The Heads - of The Tribes The Chief of the Fathers of the Children of Hebrews

To King Solomon - in Jerusalem

That They Might Bring Up - The Ark Of The Covenant Of God

Out Of The City of David - that is Zion.

All The Men Of Hebrews Assembled - themselves to King Solomon

God 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 The Hebrews - as God promised and

Have Built An House - for The Name Of God Of Hebrews.

I Have Set There A Place For The Ark - wherein is The Covenant Of God

That He Made With Our Fathers - when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

Solomon Stood Before The Altar Of God - in the presence of all

The Congregation Of Hebrews - and spread forth his hands toward Heaven

He Said God Of Hebrews - 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.

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 God Of Hebrews - 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 Hebrews

So That Thy Children Take Heed - to Their Way.

That They Walk Before Me - as Thou Hast Walked Before Me.

Go to > Solomon - continued - Part 2
