1 Kings 8:54-66

54Now whenH1961 SolomonH8010 had finishedH3615 prayingH6419 thisH2063 entireH3605 prayerH8605 and petitionH8467 toH413 the LORDH3068, he got upH6965 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, where he had been kneelingH3766H5921H1290 with his handsH3709 spread outH6566 toward heavenH8064. 55And he stoodH5975 and blessedH1288 the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 in a loudH1419 voiceH6963, sayingH559:

56“BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, whoH834 has givenH5414 restH4496 to His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 according to allH3605 thatH834 He promisedH1696. NotH3808 oneH259 wordH1697 has failedH5307 of allH3605 the goodH2896 promisesH1697 He madeH1696 throughH3027 His servantH5650 MosesH4872.

57May the LORDH3068 our GodH430 beH1961 with usH5973, asH834 He wasH1961 withH5973 our fathersH1. May He neverH408 leave usH5800 orH408 forsake usH5203. 58May He inclineH5186 our heartsH3824 to HimselfH413, to walkH1980 in allH3605 His waysH1870 and to keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 and statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941 He commandedH6680 our fathersH1.

59And mayH1961 theseH428 wordsH1697 with whichH834 I have made my petitionH2603 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 be nearH7138H413 to the LORDH3068 our GodH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915, so that He may upholdH6213 the causeH4941 of His servantH5650 and of His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 as each dayH3117 requiresH1697, 60so thatH4616 allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thatH3588 the LORDH3068H1931 is GodH430. There is noH369 otherH5750!

61So let your heartH3824 beH1961 fully devotedH8003 toH5973 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, as it isH3117 this dayH2088, to walkH1980 in His statutesH2706 and to keepH8104 His commandmentsH4687.”

62Then the kingH4428 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973 offeredH2076 sacrificesH2077 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 63And SolomonH8010 offered asH2076 peace offeringsH2077H8002 to the LORDH3068 22,000H6242H8147H505 oxenH1241 and 120,000H3967H6242H505 sheepH6629. So the kingH4428 and allH3605 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

64On that sameH1931 dayH3117 the kingH4428 consecratedH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtyardH2691 in frontH6440 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, andH3588 thereH8033 he offeredH6213 the burnt offeringsH5930, the grain offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002, sinceH3588 the bronzeH5178 altarH4196 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 was too smallH6996 to containH3557 all these offerings.

65So at thatH1931 timeH6256 SolomonH8010 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973—a greatH1419 assembly of peopleH6951 from Lebo-hamathH935H2574 toH5704 the BrookH5158 of EgyptH4714—keptH6213 the feastH2282 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 for sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 more daysH3117—fourteenH702H6240 days in allH3117.

66On theH8066 fifteenth dayH31171 Solomon sent the peopleH5971 awayH7971. So they blessedH1288 the kingH4428 and wentH1980 homeH168, joyfulH8056 and gladH2896 in heartH3820 forH5921 allH3605 the good thingsH2896 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 for His servantH5650 DavidH1732 and for His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
