[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

The Glory of the Lord

[1] Now when Solomon H8010 had made an end H3615 of praying, H6419 the fire H784 came down H3381 from heaven, H8064 and consumed H398 the burnt offering H5930 and the sacrifices; H2077 and the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 filled H4390 H853 the house. H1004 [2] And the priests H3548 could H3201 not H3808 enter H935 into the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 because H3588 the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 had filled H4390 the Lord’s H3068 house. H1004 [3] And when all the children H1121 of Israel H3478 saw H7200 how the fire H784 came down, H3381 and the glory H3519 of the Lord H3068 upon H5921 the house, H1004 they bowed H3766 themselves with their faces H639 to the ground H776 upon H5921 the pavement, H7531 and worshipped, H7812 and praised H3034 the Lord, H3068 saying, For he is good; H2896 for H3588 his mercy H2617 endureth for ever. H5769 [4] Then the king H4428 and all the people H5971 offered H2076 sacrifices H2077 before H6440 the Lord. H3068 [5] And king H4428 Solomon H8010 offered H2076 H853 a sacrifice H2077 of twenty H6242 and two H8147 thousand H505 oxen, H1241 and an hundred H3967 and twenty H6242 thousand H505 sheep: H6629 so the king H4428 and all the people H5971 dedicated H2596 H853 the house H1004 of God. H430 [6] And the priests H3548 waited H5975 on H5921 their offices: H4931 the Levites H3881 also with instruments H3627 of musick H7892 of the Lord, H3068 which H834 David H1732 the king H4428 had made H6213 to praise H3034 the Lord, H3068 because H3588 his mercy H2617 endureth for ever, H5769 when David H1732 praised H1984 by their ministry; H3027§ and the priests H3548 sounded trumpets H2690 H2690 before them, and all Israel H3478 stood. H5975 [7] Moreover Solomon H8010 hallowed H6942 H853 the middle H8432 of the court H2691 that was before H6440 the house H1004 of the Lord: H3068 for H3588 there H8033 he offered H6213 burnt offerings, H5930 and the fat H2459 of the peace offerings, H8002 because H3588 the brasen H5178 altar H4196 which H834 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 was not able H3201 to receive H3557 the burnt offerings, H5930 and the meat offerings, H4503 and the fat. H2459 [8] Also at the same time H6256 Solomon H8010 kept H6213 H853 the feast H2282 seven H7651 days, H3117 and all Israel H3478 with H5973 him, a very H3966 great H1419 congregation, H6951 from the entering in H935 of Hamath H2574 unto H5704 the river H5158 of Egypt. H4714 [9] And in the eighth H8066 day H3117 they made H6213 a solemn assembly: H6116 for H3588 they kept H6213 the dedication H2598 of the altar H4196 seven H7651 days, H3117 and the feast H2282 seven H7651 days. H3117 [10] And on the three H7969 and twentieth H6242 day H3117 of the seventh H7637 month H2320 he sent H7971 the people H5971 away H7971 into their tents, H168 glad H8056 and merry H2896 in heart H3820 for the goodness H2896 that the Lord H3068 had shewed H6213 unto David, H1732 and to Solomon, H8010 and to Israel H3478 his people. H5971

The Divine Covenant

[11] Thus Solomon H8010 finished H3615 the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and the king’s H4428 house: H1004 and all that came H935 into Solomon’s H8010 heart H3820 to make H6213 in the house H1004 of the Lord, H3068 and in his own house, H1004 he prosperously effected. H6743 [12] And the Lord H3068 appeared H7200 to Solomon H8010 by night, H3915 and said H559 unto H413 him, I have heard H8085 H853 thy prayer, H8605 and have chosen H977 this H2088 place H4725 to myself for an house H1004 of sacrifice. H2077 [13] If H2005 I shut up H6113 heaven H8064 that there be no rain, H4306 or if I command H6680 the locusts H2284 to devour H398 the land, H776 or if I send H7971 pestilence H1698 among my people; H5971 [14] if my people, H5971 which H834 are called H7121 by my name, H8034§ shall humble H3665 themselves, and pray, H6419 and seek H1245 my face, H6440 and turn H7725 from their wicked H7451 ways; H1870 then will I hear H8085 from heaven, H8064 and will forgive H5545 their sin, H2403 and will heal H7495 H853 their land. H776 [15] Now H6258 mine eyes H5869 shall be open, H6605 and mine ears H241 attent H7183 unto the prayer H8605 that is made in this place. H4725§ [16] For now have I chosen H977 and sanctified H6942 H853 this H2088 house, H1004 that my name H8034 may be there for H5704 ever: H5769 and mine eyes H5869 and mine heart H3820 shall be there perpetually. H3117 [17] And as for thee, if thou wilt walk H3212 before H6440 me, as David H1732 thy father H1 walked, H1980 and do H6213 according to all that I have commanded H6680 thee, and shalt observe H8104 my statutes H2706 and my judgments; H4941 [18] then will I stablish H6965 H853 the throne H3678 of thy kingdom, H4438 according as I have covenanted H3772 with David H1732 thy father, H1 saying, H559 There shall not fail H3772 thee§ a man H376 to be ruler H4910 in Israel. H3478 [19] But if ye turn away, H7725 and forsake H5800 my statutes H2708 and my commandments, H4687 which H834 I have set H5414 before H6440 you, and shall go H1980 and serve H5647 other H312 gods, H430 and worship H7812 them; [20] then will I pluck them up by the roots H5428 out of my land H127 which H834 I have given H5414 them; and this house, H1004 which H834 I have sanctified H6942 for my name, H8034 will I cast out H7993 of my sight, H6440 and will make H5414 it to be a proverb H4912 and a byword H8148 among all nations. H5971 [21] And this house, H1004 which H834 is high, H5945 shall be an astonishment H8074 to every one that passeth H5674 by it; so that he shall say, H559 Why hath the Lord H3068 done H6213 thus unto this land, H776 and unto this house? H1004 [22] And it shall be answered, H559 Because they forsook H5800 H853 the Lord H3068 God H430 of their fathers, H1 which H834 brought them forth H3318 out of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 and laid hold H2388 on H5921 other H312 gods, H430 and worshipped H7812 them, and served H5647 them: therefore hath he brought H935 all H3605 this H2063 evil H7451 upon them.
