1 Kings 8:54-66
54And it was so, that when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615 of prayingH6419 all this prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 unto YhwhH3068, he aroseH6965 from beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of YhwhH3068, from kneelingH3766 on his kneesH1290 with his handsH3709 spread upH6566 to heavenH8064. 55And he stoodH5975, and blessedH1288 all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, sayingH559, 56BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068, that hath givenH5414 restH4496 unto his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, according to all that he promisedH1696: there hath not failedH5307 oneH259 wordH1697 of all his goodH2896 promiseH1697, which he promisedH1696 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 his servantH5650.1 57YhwhH3068 our GodH430 be with us, as he was with our fathersH1: let him not leaveH5800 us, nor forsakeH5203 us: 58That he may inclineH5186 our heartsH3824 unto him, to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and his statutesH2706, and his judgmentsH4941, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1. 59And let these my wordsH1697, wherewith I have made supplicationH2603 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, be nighH7138 unto YhwhH3068 our GodH430 dayH3119 and nightH3915, that he maintainH6213 the causeH4941 of his servantH5650, and the causeH4941 of his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 at all timesH3117, as the matterH1697 shall require:2 60That all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 that YhwhH3068 is GodH430, and that there is none else. 61Let your heartH3824 therefore be perfectH8003 with YhwhH3068 our GodH430, to walkH3212 in his statutesH2706, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, as at this dayH3117.
62And the kingH4428, and all IsraelH3478 with him, offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068. 63And SolomonH8010 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of peace offeringsH8002, which he offeredH2076 unto YhwhH3068, twoH8147 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 oxenH1241, and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheepH6629. So the kingH4428 and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068. 64The same dayH3117 did the kingH4428 hallowH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068: for there he offeredH6213 burnt offeringsH5930, and grain offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002: because the brasenH5178 altarH4196 that was beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 was too littleH6996 to receiveH3557 the burnt offeringsH5930, and grain offeringsH4503, and the fatH2459 of the peace offeringsH8002. 65And at that timeH6256 SolomonH8010 heldH6213 a feastH2282, and all IsraelH3478 with him, a greatH1419 congregationH6951, from the enteringH935 in of HamathH2574 unto the riverH5158 of EgyptH4714, beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 our GodH430, sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 daysH3117, even fourteenH6240H702 daysH3117. 66On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971: and they blessedH1288 the kingH4428, and wentH3212 unto their tentsH168 joyfulH8056 and gladH2896 of heartH3820 for all the goodnessH2896 that YhwhH3068 had doneH6213 for DavidH1732 his servantH5650, and for IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971.3
