[1] Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and Yahweh’s glory filled the house. [2] The priests could not enter into Yahweh’s house, because Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house. [3] All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and Yahweh’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, saying,
“For he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever!” [4] Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before Yahweh. [5] King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house. [6] The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood. [7] Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before Yahweh’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat. [8] So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt. [9] On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. [10] On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people. [11] Thus Solomon finished Yahweh’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in Yahweh’s house and in his own house. [12] Then Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice. [13] “If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people, [14] if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. [15] Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place. [16] For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually. [17] “As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances, [18] then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’ [19] But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, [20] then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. [21] This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?’ [22] They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’ ”

King James Version
[1] Now when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615(PielInf) of praying,H6419(HithInf) the fireH784 came downH3381(QalPerf) from heaven,H8064 and consumedH398(QalImpf) the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrifices;H2077 and the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 filledH4390(QalPerf) the house.H1004 [2] And the priestsH3548 couldH3201(QalPerf) not enterH935(QalInf) into the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 because the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 had filledH4390(QalPerf) the Lord’sH3068 house.H1004 [3] And when all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200(QalActPtc) how the fireH784 came down,H3381(QalInf) and the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 upon the house,H1004 they bowedH3766(QalImpf) themselves with their facesH639 to the groundH776 upon the pavement,H7531 and worshipped,H7812(HithImpf) and praisedH3034(HiphInf) the Lord,H3068 [saying], For [he is] good;H2896 for his mercyH2617 [endureth] for ever.H5769 [4] Then the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 offeredH2076(QalActPtc) sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the Lord.H3068 [5] And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 offeredH2076(QalImpf) a sacrificeH2077 of twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 oxen,H1241 and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheep:H6629 so the kingH4428 and all the peopleH5971 dedicatedH2596(QalImpf) the houseH1004 of God.H430 [6] And the priestsH3548 waitedH5975(QalActPtc) on their offices:H4931 the LevitesH3881 also with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892 of the Lord,H3068 which DavidH1732 the kingH4428 had madeH6213(QalPerf) to praiseH3034(HiphInf) the Lord,H3068 because his mercyH2617 [endureth] for ever,H5769 when DavidH1732 praisedH1984(PielInf) by their ministry;H3027 and the priestsH3548 sounded trumpetsH2690(HiphPtc/Qere) before them, and all IsraelH3478 stood.H5975(QalActPtc) [7] Moreover SolomonH8010 hallowedH6942(PielImpf) the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that [was] beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the Lord:H3068 for there he offeredH6213(QalPerf) burnt offerings,H5930 and the fatH2459 of the peace offerings,H8002 because the brasenH5178 altarH4196 which SolomonH8010 had madeH6213(QalPerf) was not ableH3201(QalPerf) to receiveH3557(HiphInf) the burnt offerings,H5930 and the meat offerings,H4503 and the fat.H2459 [8] Also at the same timeH6256 SolomonH8010 keptH6213(QalImpf) the feastH2282 sevenH7651 days,H3117 and all IsraelH3478 with him, a veryH3966 greatH1419 congregation,H6951 from the entering inH935(QalInf) of HamathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of Egypt.H4714 [9] And in the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they madeH6213(QalImpf) a solemn assembly:H6116 for they keptH6213(QalPerf) the dedicationH2598 of the altarH4196 sevenH7651 days,H3117 and the feastH2282 sevenH7651 days.H3117 [10] And on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971(PielPerf) into their tents,H168 gladH8056 and merryH2896 in heartH3820 for the goodnessH2896 that the LordH3068 had shewedH6213(QalPerf) unto David,H1732 and to Solomon,H8010 and to IsraelH3478 his people.H5971 [11] Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615(PielImpf) the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 and the king’sH4428 house:H1004 and all that cameH935(QalActPtc) into Solomon’sH8010 heartH3820 to makeH6213(QalInf) in the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 and in his own house,H1004 he prosperously effected.H6743(HiphPerf) [12] And the LordH3068 appearedH7200(NiphImpf) to SolomonH8010 by night,H3915 and saidH559(QalImpf) unto him, I have heardH8085(QalPerf) thy prayer,H8605 and have chosenH977(QalPerf) this placeH4725 to myself for an houseH1004 of sacrifice.H2077 [13] IfH2005 I shut upH6113(QalImpf) heavenH8064 that there be no rain,H4306 or if I commandH6680(PielImpf) the locustsH2284 to devourH398(QalInf) the land,H776 or if I sendH7971(PielImpf) pestilenceH1698 among my people;H5971 [14] If my people,H5971 which are calledH7121(NiphPerf) by my name,H8034 shall humbleH3665(NiphImpf) themselves, and pray,H6419(HithImpf) and seekH1245(PielImpf) my face,H6440 and turnH7725(QalImpf) from their wickedH7451 ways;H1870 then will I hearH8085(QalImpf) from heaven,H8064 and will forgiveH5545(QalImpf) their sin,H2403 and will healH7495(QalImpf) their land.H776 [15] Now mine eyesH5869 shall be open,H6605(QalPasPtc) and mine earsH241 attentH7183 unto the prayerH8605 [that is made] in this place.H4725 [16] For now have I chosenH977(QalPerf) and sanctifiedH6942(HiphPerf) this house,H1004 that my nameH8034 may be there forH5704 ever:H5769 and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetually.H3117 [17] And as for thee, if thou wilt walkH3212(QalImpf) beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walked,H1980(QalPerf) and doH6213(QalInf) according to all that I have commandedH6680(PielPerf) thee, and shalt observeH8104(QalImpf) my statutesH2706 and my judgments;H4941 [18] Then will I stablishH6965(HiphPerf) the throneH3678 of thy kingdom,H4438 according as I have covenantedH3772(QalPerf) with DavidH1732 thy father,H1 saying,H559(QalInf) There shall not failH3772(NiphImpf) thee a manH376 [to be] rulerH4910(QalActPtc) in Israel.H3478 [19] But if ye turn away,H7725(QalImpf) and forsakeH5800(QalPerf) my statutesH2708 and my commandments,H4687 which I have setH5414(QalPerf) beforeH6440 you, and shall goH1980(QalPerf) and serveH5647(QalPerf) otherH312 gods,H430 and worshipH7812(HithPerf) them; [20] Then will I pluck them up by the rootsH5428(QalPerf) out of my landH127 which I have givenH5414(QalPerf) them; and this house,H1004 which I have sanctifiedH6942(HiphPerf) for my name,H8034 will I cast outH7993(HiphImpf) of my sight,H6440 and will makeH5414(QalImpf) it [to be] a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all nations.H5971 [21] And this house,H1004 which is high,H5945 shall be an astonishmentH8074(QalImpf) to every one that passethH5674(QalActPtc) by it; so that he shall say,H559(QalPerf) Why hath the LordH3068 doneH6213(QalPerf) thus unto this land,H776 and unto this house?H1004 [22] And it shall be answered,H559(QalPerf) Because they forsookH5800(QalPerf) the LordH3068 GodH430 of their fathers,H1 which brought them forthH3318(HiphPerf) out of the landH776 of Egypt,H4714 and laid holdH2388(HiphImpf) on otherH312 gods,H430 and worshippedH7812(HithImpf) them, and servedH5647(QalImpf) them: therefore hath he broughtH935(HiphPerf) all this evilH7451 upon them.
