^[1] Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion. ^[2] All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. ^[3] All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked up the ark. ^[4] They brought up Yahweh’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up. ^[5] King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude. ^[6] The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings. ^[7] For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above. ^[8] The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside. They are there to this day. ^[9] There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. ^[10] It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled Yahweh’s house, ^[11] so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house. ^[12] Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. ^[13] I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.” ^[14] The king turned his face around and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood. ^[15] He said, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying, ^[16] ‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’ ^[17] “Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel. ^[18] But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart. ^[19] Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’ ^[20] Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel. ^[21] There I have set a place for the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.” ^[22] Solomon stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven; ^[23] and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart; ^[24] who has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today. ^[25] Now therefore, may Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’ ^[26] “Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father. ^[27] But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built! ^[28] Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today; ^[29] that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place. ^[30] Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive. ^[31] “If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house, ^[32] then hear in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. ^[33] “When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn again to you and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house, ^[34] then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers. ^[35] “When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them, ^[36] then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for an inheritance. ^[37] “If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is, ^[38] whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands toward this house, ^[39] then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men); ^[40] that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers. ^[41] “Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your name’s sake ^[42] (for they shall hear of your great name and of your mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house, ^[43] hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name. ^[44] “If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name, ^[45] then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. ^[46] If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near; ^[47] yet if they repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly,’ ^[48] if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name, ^[49] then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause; ^[50] and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them ^[51] (for they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace); ^[52] that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you. ^[53] For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Yahweh.” ^[54] It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before Yahweh’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward heaven. ^[55] He stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying, ^[56] “Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant. ^[57] May Yahweh our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us, ^[58] that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers. ^[59] Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires; ^[60] that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh himself is God. There is no one else. ^[61] “Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.” ^[62] The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yahweh. ^[63] Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Yahweh, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated Yahweh’s house. ^[64] The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before Yahweh’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings. ^[65] So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days. ^[66] On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.

the congregation,H4150 and all the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 that [were] in the tabernacle,H168 even those did the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 bring up.H5927(HiphImpf) ^[5] And kingH4428 Solomon,H8010 and all the congregationH5712 of Israel,H3478 that were assembledH3259(NiphPtc) unto him, [were] with him beforeH6440 the ark,H727 sacrificingH2076(PielPtc) sheepH6629 and oxen,H1241 that could not be toldH5608(NiphImpf) nor numberedH4487(NiphImpf) for multitude.H7230 ^[6] And the priestsH3548 brought inH935(HiphImpf) the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 unto his place,H4725 into the oracleH1687 of the house,H1004 to the mostH6944 holyH6944 [place, even] under the wingsH3671 of the cherubims.H3742 ^[7] For the cherubimsH3742 spread forthH6566(QalActPtc) [their] two wingsH3671 over the placeH4725 of the ark,H727 and the cherubimsH3742 coveredH5526(QalImpf) the arkH727 and the stavesH905 thereof above.H4605 ^[8] And they drew outH748(HiphImpf) the staves,H905 that the endsH7218 of the stavesH905 were seen outH7200(NiphImpf) in the holyH6944 [place] beforeH6440 the oracle,H1687 and they were not seenH7200(NiphImpf) without:H2351 and there they are unto this day.H3117 ^[9] [There was] nothing in the arkH727 saveH7535 the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stone,H68 which MosesH4872 putH3240(HiphPerf) there at Horeb,H2722 when the LordH3068 madeH3772(QalPerf) [a covenant] with the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 when they came outH3318(QalInf) of the landH776 of Egypt.H4714 ^[10] And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 were come outH3318(QalInf) of the holyH6944 [place], that the cloudH6051 filledH4390(QalPerf) the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 ^[11] So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201(QalPerf) not standH5975(QalInf) to ministerH8334(PielInf) becauseH6440 of the cloud:H6051 for the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 had filledH4390(QalPerf) the houseH1004 of the Lord.H3068 ^[12] Then spakeH559(QalPerf) Solomon,H8010 The LordH3068 saidH559(QalPerf) that he would dwellH7931(QalInf) in the thick darkness.H6205 ^[13] I have surelyH1129(QalInf) builtH1129(QalPerf) thee an houseH1004 to dwell in,H2073 a settled placeH4349 for thee to abide inH3427(QalInf) for ever.H5769 ^[14] And the kingH4428 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 about,H5437(HiphImpf) and blessedH1288(PielImpf) all the congregationH6951 of Israel:H3478 (and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 stood;H5975(QalActPtc)) ^[15] And he said,H559(QalImpf) BlessedH1288(QalPasPtc) [be] the LordH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 which spakeH1696(PielPerf) with his mouthH6310 unto DavidH1732 my father,H1 and hath with his handH3027 fulfilledH4390(PielPerf) [it], saying,H559(QalInf) ^[16] Since the dayH3117 that I brought forthH3318(HiphPerf) my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of Egypt,H4714 I choseH977(QalPerf) no cityH5892 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129(QalInf) an house,H1004 that my nameH8034 might be therein; but I choseH977(QalImpf) DavidH1732 to be over my peopleH5971 Israel.H3478 ^[17] And it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129(QalInf) an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 GodH430 of Israel.H3478 ^[18] And the LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) unto DavidH1732 my father,H1 WhereasH3282 it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129(QalInf) an houseH1004 unto my name,H8034 thou didst wellH2895(HiphPerf) that it was in thine heart.H3824 ^[19] NeverthelessH7535 thou shalt not buildH1129(QalImpf) the house;H1004 but thy sonH1121 that shall come forth outH3318(QalActPtc) of thy loins,H2504 he shall buildH1129(QalImpf) the houseH1004 unto my name.H8034 ^[20] And the LordH3068 hath performedH6965(HiphImpf) his wordH1697 that he spake,H1696(PielPerf) and I am risen upH6965(QalImpf) in the room of DavidH1732 my father,H1 and sitH3427(QalImpf) on the throneH3678 of Israel,H3478 as the LordH3068 promised,H1696(PielPerf) and have builtH1129(QalImpf) an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 GodH430 of Israel.H3478 ^[21] And I have setH7760(QalImpf) there a placeH4725 for the ark,H727 wherein [is] the covenantH1285 of the Lord,H3068 which he madeH3772(QalPerf) with our fathers,H1 when he brought them outH3318(HiphInf) of the landH776 of Egypt.H4714 ^[22] And SolomonH8010 stoodH5975(QalImpf) beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LordH3068 in the presence ofH5048 all the congregationH6951 of Israel,H3478 and spread forthH6566(QalImpf) his handsH3709 toward heaven:H8064 ^[23] And he said,H559(QalImpf) LordH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 [there is] no GodH430 like thee, in heavenH8064 above,H4605 or on earthH776 beneath, who keepestH8104(QalActPtc) covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 with thy servantsH5650 that walkH1980(QalActPtc) beforeH6440 thee with all their heart:H3820 ^[24] Who hast keptH8104(QalPerf) with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that thou promisedstH1696(PielPerf) him: thou spakestH1696(PielImpf) also with thy mouth,H6310 and hast fulfilledH4390(PielPerf) [it] with thine hand,H3027 as [it is] this day.H3117 ^[25] Therefore now, LordH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 keepH8104(QalImpv) with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that thou promisedstH1696(PielPerf) him, saying,H559(QalInf) There shall not failH3772(NiphImpf) thee a manH376 in my sightH6440 to sitH3427(QalActPtc) on the throneH3678 of Israel;H3478 soH7535 that thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104(QalImpf) to their way,H1870 that they walkH3212(QalInf) beforeH6440 me as thou hast walkedH1980(QalPerf) beforeH6440 me. ^[26] And now, O GodH430 of Israel,H3478 let thy word,H1697 I pray thee, be verified,H539(NiphImpf) which thou spakestH1696(PielPerf) unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my father.H1 ^[27] But will GodH430 indeedH552 dwellH3427(QalImpf) on the earth?H776 behold, the heavenH8064 and heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557(PilpImpf) thee; how much lessH637 this houseH1004 that I have builded?H1129(QalPerf) ^[28] Yet have thou respectH6437(QalPerf) unto the prayerH8605 of thy servant,H5650 and to his supplication,H8467 O LordH3068 my God,H430 to hearkenH8085(QalInf) unto the cryH7440 and to the prayer,H8605 which thy servantH5650 prayethH6419(HithPtc) beforeH6440 thee to day:H3117 ^[29] That thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605(QalPasPtc) toward this houseH1004 nightH3915 and day,H3117 [even] toward the placeH4725 of which thou hast said,H559(QalPerf) My nameH8034 shall be there: that thou mayest hearkenH8085(QalInf) unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 shall makeH6419(HithImpf) toward this place.H4725 ^[30] And hearkenH8085(QalPerf) thou to the supplicationH8467 of thy servant,H5650 and of thy peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 when they shall prayH6419(HithImpf) toward this place:H4725 and hearH8085(QalImpf) thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427(QalInf) place:H4725 and when thou hearest,H8085(QalPerf) forgive.H5545(QalPerf) ^[31] If any manH376

wayH1870 upon his head;H7218 and justifyingH6663(HiphInf) the righteous,H6662 to giveH5414(QalInf) him according to his righteousness.H6666 ^[33] When thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be smitten downH5062(NiphInf) beforeH6440 the enemy,H341(QalActPtc) because they have sinnedH2398(QalImpf) against thee, and shall turn againH7725(QalPerf) to thee, and confessH3034(HiphPerf) thy name,H8034 and pray,H6419(HithPerf) and make supplicationH2603(HithPerf) unto thee in this house:H1004 ^[34] Then hearH8085(QalImpf) thou in heaven,H8064 and forgiveH5545(QalPerf) the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971

afflictestH6031(HiphImpf) them: ^[36] Then hearH8085(QalImpf) thou in heaven,H8064 and forgiveH5545(QalPerf) the sinH2403 of thy servants,H5650 and of thy peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 that thou

the LordH3068 towardH1870 the cityH5892 which thou hast chosen,H977(QalPerf) and [toward] the houseH1004 that I have builtH1129(QalPerf) for thy name:H8034 ^[45] Then hearH8085(QalPerf) thou in heavenH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplication,H8467 and maintainH6213(QalPerf) their cause.H4941 ^[46] If they sinH2398(QalImpf) against thee, (for [there is] no manH120 that sinnethH2398(QalImpf) not,) and thou be angryH599(QalPerf) with them, and deliverH5414(QalPerf) them to the enemy,H341(QalActPtc) so that they carry them awayH7617(QalPerf) captivesH7617(QalActPtc) untoH6440 the landH776 of the enemy,H341(QalActPtc) farH7350 or near;H7138 ^[47] [Yet] if they shall bethinkH7725(HiphPerf) themselves in the landH776 whither they were carried captives,H7617(NiphPerf) and repent,H7725(QalPerf) and make supplicationH2603(HithPerf) unto thee in the landH776 of them that carried them captives,H7617(QalActPtc) saying,H559(QalInf) We have sinned,H2398(QalPerf) and have done perversely,H5753(HiphPerf) we have committed wickedness;H7561(QalPerf) ^[48] And [so] returnH7725(QalPerf) unto thee with all their heart,H3824 and with all their soul,H5315 in the landH776 of their enemies,H341(QalActPtc) which led them away captive,H7617(QalPerf) and prayH6419(HithPerf) unto thee towardH1870 their land,H776 which thou gavestH5414(QalPerf) unto their fathers,H1 the cityH5892 which thou hast chosen,H977(QalPerf) and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129(QalPerf) for thy name:H8034 ^[49] Then hearH8085(QalPerf) thou their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467 in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427(QalInf) place,H4349 and maintainH6213(QalPerf) their cause,H4941 ^[50] And forgiveH5545(QalPerf) thy peopleH5971 that have sinnedH2398(QalPerf) against thee, and all their transgressionsH6588 wherein they have transgressedH6586(QalPerf) against thee, and giveH5414(QalPerf) them compassionH7356 beforeH6440 them who carried them captive,H7617(QalActPtc) that they may have compassionH7355(PielPerf) on them: ^[51] For they [be] thy people,H5971 and thine inheritance,H5159 which thou broughtest forthH3318(HiphPerf) out of Egypt,H4714 from the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564 of iron:H1270 ^[52] That thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605(QalPasPtc) unto the supplicationH8467 of thy servant,H5650 and unto the supplicationH8467 of thy peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 to hearkenH8085(QalInf) unto them in all that they callH7121(QalInf) for unto thee. ^[53] For thou didst separateH914(HiphPerf) them from among all the peopleH5971 of the earth,H776 [to be] thine inheritance,H5159 as thou spakestH1696(PielPerf) by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 thy servant,H5650 when thou broughtestH3318(HiphInf) our fathersH1 out of Egypt,H4714 O LordH136 God.H3069 ^[54] And it was [so], that when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615(PielInf) of prayingH6419(HithInf) all this prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 unto the Lord,H3068 he aroseH6965(QalPerf) from beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the Lord,H3068 from kneelingH3766(QalInf) on his kneesH1290 with his handsH3709 spread upH6566(QalPasPtc) to heaven.H8064 ^[55] And he stood,H5975(QalImpf) and blessedH1288(PielImpf) all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voice,H6963 saying,H559(QalInf) ^[56] BlessedH1288(QalPasPtc) [be] the Lord,H3068 that hath givenH5414(QalPerf) restH4496 unto his peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 according to all that he promised:H1696(PielPerf) there hath not failedH5307(QalPerf) oneH259 wordH1697 of all his goodH2896 promise,H1697 which he promisedH1696(PielPerf) by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 his servant.H5650 ^[57] The LordH3068 our GodH430 be with us, as he was with our fathers:H1 let him not leaveH5800(QalImpf) us, nor forsakeH5203(QalImpf) us: ^[58] That he may inclineH5186(HiphInf) our heartsH3824 unto him, to walkH3212(QalInf) in all his ways,H1870 and to keepH8104(QalInf) his commandments,H4687 and his statutes,H2706 and his judgments,H4941 which he commandedH6680(PielPerf) our fathers.H1 ^[59] And let these my words,H1697 wherewith I have made supplicationH2603(HithPerf) beforeH6440 the Lord,H3068 be nighH7138 unto the LordH3068 our GodH430 dayH3119 and night,H3915 that he maintainH6213(QalInf) the causeH4941 of his servant,H5650 and the causeH4941 of his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 at all times,H3117 as the matterH1697 shall require: ^[60] That all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045(QalInf) that the LordH3068 [is] God,H430 [and that there is] none else. ^[61] Let your heartH3824 therefore be perfectH8003 with the LordH3068 our God,H430 to walkH3212(QalInf) in his statutes,H2706 and to keepH8104(QalInf) his commandments,H4687 as at this day.H3117 ^[62] And the king,H4428 and all IsraelH3478 with him, offeredH2076(QalActPtc) sacrificeH2077 beforeH6440 the Lord.H3068 ^[63] And SolomonH8010 offeredH2076(QalImpf) a sacrificeH2077 of peace offerings,H8002 which he offeredH2076(QalPerf) unto the Lord,H3068 twoH8147 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 oxen,H1241 and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheep.H6629 So the kingH4428 and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 dedicatedH2596(QalImpf) the houseH1004 of the Lord.H3068 ^[64] The same dayH3117 did the kingH4428 hallowH6942(PielPerf) the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that [was] beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the Lord:H3068 for there he offeredH6213(QalPerf) burnt offerings,H5930 and meat offerings,H4503 and the fatH2459 of the peace offerings:H8002 because the brasenH5178 altarH4196 that [was] beforeH6440 the LordH3068 [was] too littleH6996 to receiveH3557(HiphInf) the burnt offerings,H5930 and meat offerings,H4503 and the fatH2459 of the peace offerings.H8002 ^[65] And at that timeH6256 SolomonH8010 heldH6213(QalImpf) a feast,H2282 and all IsraelH3478 with him, a greatH1419 congregation,H6951 from the enteringH935(QalInf) in of HamathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of Egypt,H4714 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 our God,H430 sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 days,H3117 [even] fourteenH702 days.H3117 ^[66] On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 away:H7971(PielPerf) and they blessedH1288(PielImpf) the king,H4428 and wentH3212(QalImpf) unto their tentsH168 joyfulH8056 and gladH2896 of heartH3820 for all the goodnessH2896 that the LordH3068 had doneH6213(QalPerf) for DavidH1732 his servant,H5650 and for IsraelH3478 his people.H5971
