Context of 1 Kings 8:57
55Then he stood and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying: 56“Blessed be Adonai who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. Not a single word has failed of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses His servant. May Adonai Eloheinu be with us as He was with our fathers.
