Chapter 7
Now
when
Solomon
had
made
an
end
of
praying,
the
fire
came
down
from
heaven,
and
consumed
the
burnt
offering
and
the
sacrifices;
and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
filled
the
house.
2
And
the
priests
could
not
enter
into
the
house
of
the
Lord,
because
the
glory
of
the
Lord
had
filled
the
Lord’s
house.
3
And
when
all
the
children
of
Israel
saw
how
the
fire
came
down,
and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
upon
the
house,
they
bowed
themselves
with
their
faces
to
the
ground
upon
the
pavement,
and
worshipped,
and
praised
the
Lord,
saying,
For
he
is
good;
for
his
mercy
endureth
for
ever.
4
Then
the
king
and
all
the
people
offered
sacrifices
before
the
Lord.
5
And
king
Solomon
offered
a
sacrifice
of
twenty
and
two
thousand
oxen,
and
an
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
sheep:
so
the
king
and
all
the
people
dedicated
the
house
of
God.
6
And
the
priests
waited
on
their
offices:
the
Levites
also
with
instruments
of
musick
of
the
Lord,
which
David
the
king
had
made
to
praise
the
Lord,
because
his
mercy
endureth
for
ever,
when
David
praised
by
their
ministry;
and
the
priests
sounded
trumpets
before
them,
and
all
Israel
stood.
7
Moreover
Solomon
hallowed
the
middle
of
the
court
that
was
before
the
house
of
the
Lord:
for
there
he
offered
burnt
offerings,
and
the
fat
of
the
peace
offerings,
because
the
brasen
altar
which
Solomon
had
made
was
not
able
to
receive
the
burnt
offerings,
and
the
meat
offerings,
and
the
fat.
8
Also
at
the
same
time
Solomon
kept
the
feast
seven
days,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
a
very
great
congregation,
from
the
entering
in
of
Hamath
unto
the
river
of
Egypt.
9
And
in
the
eighth
day
they
made
a
solemn
assembly:
for
they
kept
the
dedication
of
the
altar
seven
days,
and
the
feast
seven
days.
10
And
on
the
three
and
twentieth
day
of
the
seventh
month
he
sent
the
people
away
into
their
tents,
glad
and
merry
in
heart
for
the
goodness
that
the
Lord
had
shewed
unto
David,
and
to
Solomon,
and
to
Israel
his
people.
11
Thus
Solomon
finished
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
the
king’s
house:
and
all
that
came
into
Solomon’s
heart
to
make
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
in
his
own
house,
he
prosperously
effected.
12
And
the
Lord
appeared
to
Solomon
by
night,
and
said
unto
him,
I
have
heard
thy
prayer,
and
have
chosen
this
place
to
myself
for
an
house
of
sacrifice.
13
If
I
shut
up
heaven
that
there
be
no
rain,
or
if
I
command
the
locusts
to
devour
the
land,
or
if
I
send
pestilence
among
my
people;
14
If
my
people,
which
are
called
by
my
name,
shall
humble
themselves,
and
pray,
and
seek
my
face,
and
turn
from
their
wicked
ways;
then
will
I
hear
from
heaven,
and
will
forgive
their
sin,
and
will
heal
their
land.
15
Now
mine
eyes
shall
be
open,
and
mine
ears
attent
unto
the
prayer
that
is
made
in
this
place.
16
For
now
have
I
chosen
and
sanctified
this
house,
that
my
name
may
be
there
for
ever:
and
mine
eyes
and
mine
heart
shall
be
there
perpetually.
17
And
as
for
thee,
if
thou
wilt
walk
before
me,
as
David
thy
father
walked,
and
do
according
to
all
that
I
have
commanded
thee,
and
shalt
observe
my
statutes
and
my
judgments;
18
Then
will
I
stablish
the
throne
of
thy
kingdom,
according
as
I
have
covenanted
with
David
thy
father,
saying,
There
shall
not
fail
thee
a
man
to
be
ruler
in
Israel.
19
But
if
ye
turn
away,
and
forsake
my
statutes
and
my
commandments,
which
I
have
set
before
you,
and
shall
go
and
serve
other
gods,
and
worship
them;
20
Then
will
I
pluck
them
up
by
the
roots
out
of
my
land
which
I
have
given
them;
and
this
house,
which
I
have
sanctified
for
my
name,
will
I
cast
out
of
my
sight,
and
will
make
it
to
be
a
proverb
and
a
byword
among
all
nations.
21
And
this
house,
which
is
high,
shall
be
an
astonishment
to
every
one
that
passeth
by
it;
so
that
he
shall
say,
Why
hath
the
Lord
done
thus
unto
this
land,
and
unto
this
house?
22
And
it
shall
be
answered,
Because
they
forsook
the
Lord
God
of
their
fathers,
which
brought
them
forth
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
and
laid
hold
on
other
gods,
and
worshipped
them,
and
served
them:
therefore
hath
he
brought
all
this
evil
upon
them.
