Chapter 6
Then
said
Solomon,
The
Lord
hath
said
that
he
would
dwell
in
the
thick
darkness.
2
But
I
have
built
an
house
of
habitation
for
thee,
and
a
place
for
thy
dwelling
for
ever.
3
And
the
king
turned
his
face,
and
blessed
the
whole
congregation
of
Israel:
and
all
the
congregation
of
Israel
stood.
4
And
he
said,
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
who
hath
with
his
hands
fulfilled
that
which
he
spake
with
his
mouth
to
my
father
David,
saying,
5
Since
the
day
that
I
brought
forth
my
people
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
I
chose
no
city
among
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
build
an
house
in,
that
my
name
might
be
there;
neither
chose
I
any
man
to
be
a
ruler
over
my
people
Israel:
6
But
I
have
chosen
Jerusalem,
that
my
name
might
be
there;
and
have
chosen
David
to
be
over
my
people
Israel.
7
Now
it
was
in
the
heart
of
David
my
father
to
build
an
house
for
the
name
of
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
8
But
the
Lord
said
to
David
my
father,
Forasmuch
as
it
was
in
thine
heart
to
build
an
house
for
my
name,
thou
didst
well
in
that
it
was
in
thine
heart:
9
Notwithstanding
thou
shalt
not
build
the
house;
but
thy
son
which
shall
come
forth
out
of
thy
loins,
he
shall
build
the
house
for
my
name.
10
The
Lord
therefore
hath
performed
his
word
that
he
hath
spoken:
for
I
am
risen
up
in
the
room
of
David
my
father,
and
am
set
on
the
throne
of
Israel,
as
the
Lord
promised,
and
have
built
the
house
for
the
name
of
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
11
And
in
it
have
I
put
the
ark,
wherein
is
the
covenant
of
the
Lord,
that
he
made
with
the
children
of
Israel.
12
And
he
stood
before
the
altar
of
the
Lord
in
the
presence
of
all
the
congregation
of
Israel,
and
spread
forth
his
hands:
13
For
Solomon
had
made
a
brasen
scaffold,
of
five
cubits
long,
and
five
cubits
broad,
and
three
cubits
high,
and
had
set
it
in
the
midst
of
the
court:
and
upon
it
he
stood,
and
kneeled
down
upon
his
knees
before
all
the
congregation
of
Israel,
and
spread
forth
his
hands
toward
heaven,
14
And
said,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
there
is
no
God
like
thee
in
the
heaven,
nor
in
the
earth;
which
keepest
covenant,
and
shewest
mercy
unto
thy
servants,
that
walk
before
thee
with
all
their
hearts:
15
Thou
which
hast
kept
with
thy
servant
David
my
father
that
which
thou
hast
promised
him;
and
spakest
with
thy
mouth,
and
hast
fulfilled
it
with
thine
hand,
as
it
is
this
day.
16
Now
therefore,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
keep
with
thy
servant
David
my
father
that
which
thou
hast
promised
him,
saying,
There
shall
not
fail
thee
a
man
in
my
sight
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
Israel;
yet
so
that
thy
children
take
heed
to
their
way
to
walk
in
my
law,
as
thou
hast
walked
before
me.
17
Now
then,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
let
thy
word
be
verified,
which
thou
hast
spoken
unto
thy
servant
David.
18
But
will
God
in
very
deed
dwell
with
men
on
the
earth?
behold,
heaven
and
the
heaven
of
heavens
cannot
contain
thee;
how
much
less
this
house
which
I
have
built!
19
Have
respect
therefore
to
the
prayer
of
thy
servant,
and
to
his
supplication,
O
Lord
my
God,
to
hearken
unto
the
cry
and
the
prayer
which
thy
servant
prayeth
before
thee:
20
That
thine
eyes
may
be
open
upon
this
house
day
and
night,
upon
the
place
whereof
thou
hast
said
that
thou
wouldest
put
thy
name
there;
to
hearken
unto
the
prayer
which
thy
servant
prayeth
toward
this
place.
21
Hearken
therefore
unto
the
supplications
of
thy
servant,
and
of
thy
people
Israel,
which
they
shall
make
toward
this
place:
hear
thou
from
thy
dwelling
place,
even
from
heaven;
and
when
thou
hearest,
forgive.
22
If
a
man
sin
against
his
neighbour,
and
an
oath
be
laid
upon
him
to
make
him
swear,
and
the
oath
come
before
thine
altar
in
this
house;
23
Then
hear
thou
from
heaven,
and
do,
and
judge
thy
servants,
by
requiting
the
wicked,
by
recompensing
his
way
upon
his
own
head;
and
by
justifying
the
righteous,
by
giving
him
according
to
his
righteousness.
24
And
if
thy
people
Israel
be
put
to
the
worse
before
the
enemy,
because
they
have
sinned
against
thee;
and
shall
return
and
confess
thy
name,
and
pray
and
make
supplication
before
thee
in
this
house;
25
Then
hear
thou
from
the
heavens,
and
forgive
the
sin
of
thy
people
Israel,
and
bring
them
again
unto
the
land
which
thou
gavest
to
them
and
to
their
fathers.
26
When
the
heaven
is
shut
up,
and
there
is
no
rain,
because
they
have
sinned
against
thee;
yet
if
they
pray
toward
this
place,
and
confess
thy
name,
and
turn
from
their
sin,
when
thou
dost
afflict
them;
27
Then
hear
thou
from
heaven,
and
forgive
the
sin
of
thy
servants,
and
of
thy
people
Israel,
when
thou
hast
taught
them
the
good
way,
wherein
they
should
walk;
and
send
rain
upon
thy
land,
which
thou
hast
given
unto
thy
people
for
an
inheritance.
28
If
there
be
dearth
in
the
land,
if
there
be
pestilence,
if
there
be
blasting,
or
mildew,
locusts,
or
caterpillers;
if
their
enemies
besiege
them
in
the
cities
of
their
land;
whatsoever
sore
or
whatsoever
sickness
there
be:
29
Then
what
prayer
or
what
supplication
soever
shall
be
made
of
any
man,
or
of
all
thy
people
Israel,
when
every
one
shall
know
his
own
sore
and
his
own
grief,
and
shall
spread
forth
his
hands
in
this
house:
30
Then
hear
thou
from
heaven
thy
dwelling
place,
and
forgive,
and
render
unto
every
man
according
unto
all
his
ways,
whose
heart
thou
knowest;
(for
thou
only
knowest
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men:)
31
That
they
may
fear
thee,
to
walk
in
thy
ways,
so
long
as
they
live
in
the
land
which
thou
gavest
unto
our
fathers.
32
Moreover
concerning
the
stranger,
which
is
not
of
thy
people
Israel,
but
is
come
from
a
far
country
for
thy
great
name’s
sake,
and
thy
mighty
hand,
and
thy
stretched
out
arm;
if
they
come
and
pray
in
this
house;
33
Then
hear
thou
from
the
heavens,
even
from
thy
dwelling
place,
and
do
according
to
all
that
the
stranger
calleth
to
thee
for;
that
all
people
of
the
earth
may
know
thy
name,
and
fear
thee,
as
doth
thy
people
Israel,
and
may
know
that
this
house
which
I
have
built
is
called
by
thy
name.
34
If
thy
people
go
out
to
war
against
their
enemies
by
the
way
that
thou
shalt
send
them,
and
they
pray
unto
thee
toward
this
city
which
thou
hast
chosen,
and
the
house
which
I
have
built
for
thy
name;
35
Then
hear
thou
from
the
heavens
their
prayer
and
their
supplication,
and
maintain
their
cause.
36
If
they
sin
against
thee,
(for
there
is
no
man
which
sinneth
not,)
and
thou
be
angry
with
them,
and
deliver
them
over
before
their
enemies,
and
they
carry
them
away
captives
unto
a
land
far
off
or
near;
37
Yet
if
they
bethink
themselves
in
the
land
whither
they
are
carried
captive,
and
turn
and
pray
unto
thee
in
the
land
of
their
captivity,
saying,
We
have
sinned,
we
have
done
amiss,
and
have
dealt
wickedly;
38
If
they
return
to
thee
with
all
their
heart
and
with
all
their
soul
in
the
land
of
their
captivity,
whither
they
have
carried
them
captives,
and
pray
toward
their
land,
which
thou
gavest
unto
their
fathers,
and
toward
the
city
which
thou
hast
chosen,
and
toward
the
house
which
I
have
built
for
thy
name:
39
Then
hear
thou
from
the
heavens,
even
from
thy
dwelling
place,
their
prayer
and
their
supplications,
and
maintain
their
cause,
and
forgive
thy
people
which
have
sinned
against
thee.
40
Now,
my
God,
let,
I
beseech
thee,
thine
eyes
be
open,
and
let
thine
ears
be
attent
unto
the
prayer
that
is
made
in
this
place.
41
Now
therefore
arise,
O
Lord
God,
into
thy
resting
place,
thou,
and
the
ark
of
thy
strength:
let
thy
priests,
O
Lord
God,
be
clothed
with
salvation,
and
let
thy
saints
rejoice
in
goodness.
42
O
Lord
God,
turn
not
away
the
face
of
thine
anointed:
remember
the
mercies
of
David
thy
servant.
