Chapter 6
Then
said
Solomon,
The
Lord
hath
said
that
he
would
dwell
in
the
thicke
darkenesse.
2
But
I
haue
built
an
house
of
habitation
for
thee,
and
a
place
for
thy
dwelling
for
euer.
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
handes
fulfilled
that
which
he
spake
with
his
mouth
to
my
father
Dauid,
saying,
5
Since
the
day
that
I
brought
foorth
my
people
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
I
chose
no
citie
among
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
builde
an
house
in,
that
my
Name
might
be
there,
neither
chose
I
any
man
to
be
a
ruler
ouer
my
people
Israel:
6
But
I
haue
chosen
Ierusalem,
that
my
name
might
be
there,
and
haue
chosen
Dauid
to
be
ouer
my
people
Israel.
7
Now
it
was
in
the
heart
of
Dauid
my
father
to
build
an
house
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
8
But
the
Lord
said
to
Dauid
my
father:
Forasmuch
as
it
was
in
thine
heart
to
builde
an
house
for
my
Name,
thou
diddest
well
in
that
it
was
in
thine
heart.
9
Notwithstanding
thou
shalt
not
build
the
house,
but
thy
sonne
which
shall
come
foorth
out
of
thy
loynes,
he
shall
build
the
house
for
my
Name.
10
The
Lord
therefore
hath
performed
his
word
that
he
hath
spoken:
for
I
am
risen
vp
in
the
roome
of
Dauid
my
father,
and
am
set
on
the
throne
of
Israel,
as
the
Lord
promised,
and
haue
built
the
house
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
11
And
in
it
haue
I
put
the
Arke,
wherein
is
the
Couenant
of
the
Lord,
that
hee
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
foorth
his
hands:
13
(For
Solomon
had
made
a
brasen
scaffold
of
fiue
cubites
long,
and
fiue
cubites
broad,
and
three
cubites
high,
and
had
set
it
in
the
midst
of
the
Court,
and
vpon
it
hee
stood,
and
kneeled
downe
vpon
his
knees
before
all
the
Congregation
of
Israel,
and
spread
foorth
his
hands
towards
heauen.)
14
And
said,
O
Lord
God
of
Israel,
there
is
no
God
like
thee
in
the
heauen,
nor
in
the
earth,
which
keepest
couenant,
and
shewest
mercy
vnto
thy
seruants,
that
walke
before
thee
with
all
their
hearts,
15
Thou
which
hast
kept
with
thy
seruant
Dauid
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,
keepe
with
thy
seruant
Dauid
my
father,
that
which
thou
hast
promised
him,
saying,
There
shall
not
faile
thee
a
man
in
my
sight,
to
sit
vpon
the
throne
of
Israel:
yet
so,
that
thy
children
take
heede
to
their
way,
to
walke
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
vnto
thy
seruant
Dauid.
18
(But
wil
God
in
very
deed
dwell
with
men
on
the
earth?
Behold,
heauen,
and
the
heauen
of
heauens
cannot
conteine
thee:
how
much
lesse
this
house
which
I
haue
built?)
19
Haue
respect
therfore
to
the
prayer
of
thy
seruant,
and
to
his
supplication,
O
Lord
my
God,
to
hearken
vnto
the
cry,
and
the
prayer
which
thy
seruant
prayeth
before
thee:
20
That
thine
eyes
may
bee
open
vpon
this
house
day
and
night,
vpon
the
place
whereof
thou
hast
saide,
that
thou
wouldest
put
thy
Name
there,
to
hearken
vnto
the
prayer,
which
thy
seruant
prayeth
towards
this
place.
21
Hearken
therefore
vnto
the
supplications
of
thy
seruant,
and
of
thy
people
Israel,
which
they
shall
make
towards
this
place:
heare
thou
from
thy
dwelling
place,
euen
from
heauen;
and
when
thou
hearest,
forgiue.
22
If
a
man
sinne
against
his
neighbour,
and
an
oath
be
layd
vpon
him,
to
make
him
sweare,
and
the
oath
come
before
thine
Altar
in
this
house:
23
Then
heare
thou
from
heauen,
and
doe,
and
iudge
thy
seruants
by
requiting
the
wicked,
by
recompensing
his
way
vpon
his
owne
head,
and
by
iustifying
the
righteous,
by
giuing
him
according
to
his
righteousnesse.
24
And
if
thy
people
Israel
be
put
to
the
worse
before
the
enemy,
because
they
haue
sinned
against
thee,
and
shall
returne
and
confesse
thy
Name,
and
pray
and
make
supplication
before
thee
in
this
house:
25
Then
heare
thou
from
the
heauens,
and
forgiue
the
sinne
of
thy
people
Israel,
and
bring
them
againe
vnto
the
land
which
thou
gauest
to
them,
and
to
their
fathers.
26
When
the
heauen
is
shut
vp,
and
there
is
no
raine,
because
they
haue
sinned
against
thee:
yet
if
they
pray
towards
this
place,
and
confesse
thy
Name,
and
turne
from
their
sinne,
when
thou
doest
afflict
them:
27
Then
heare
thou
from
heauen,
and
forgiue
the
sinne
of
thy
seruants,
and
of
thy
people
Israel;
when
thou
hast
taught
them
the
good
way,
wherein
they
should
walke,
and
send
raine
vpon
the
land,
which
thou
hast
giuen
vnto
thy
people
for
an
inheritance.
28
If
there
be
dearth
in
the
land,
if
there
be
pestilence,
if
there
be
blasting,
or
mil-dew,
locusts
or
caterpillers;
if
their
enemies
besiege
them
in
the
cities
of
their
land:
whatsoeuer
sore,
or
whatsoeuer
sicknesse
there
be:
29
Then
what
prayer,
or
what
supplication
soeuer
shall
bee
made
of
any
man,
or
of
all
thy
people
Israel,
when
euery
one
shal
know
his
owne
sore
and
his
owne
griefe,
and
shall
spread
foorth
his
hands
in
this
house:
30
Then
heare
thou
from
heauen
thy
dwelling
place,
and
forgiue,
and
render
vnto
euery
man
according
vnto
all
his
wayes,
whose
heart
thou
knowest
(for
thou
onely
knowest
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men:)
31
That
they
may
feare
thee,
to
walke
in
thy
waies
so
long
as
they
liue
in
the
land
which
thou
gauest
vnto
our
fathers.
32
Moreouer
concerning
the
stranger
which
is
not
of
thy
people
Israel,
but
is
come
from
a
farre
countrey
for
thy
great
Names
sake,
&
thy
mightie
hand,
and
thy
stretched
out
arme:
if
they
come
and
pray
in
this
house:
33
Then
heare
thou
from
the
heauens,
euen
from
thy
dwelling
place,
and
doe
according
to
all
that
the
stranger
calleth
to
thee
for;
that
all
people
of
the
earth
may
know
thy
Name,
and
feare
thee,
as
doeth
thy
people
Israel,
and
may
know
that
this
house
which
I
haue
built,
is
called
by
thy
Name.
34
If
thy
people
goe
out
to
warre
against
their
enemies
by
the
way
that
thou
shalt
send
them,
and
they
pray
vnto
thee
toward
this
citie
which
thou
hast
chosen,
and
the
house
which
I
haue
built
for
thy
Name:
35
Then
heare
thou
from
the
heauens
their
prayer
and
their
supplication,
and
maintaine
their
cause.
36
If
they
sinne
against
thee
(for
there
is
no
man
which
sinneth
not)
and
thou
be
angry
with
them,
and
deliuer
them
ouer
before
their
enemies,
and
they
cary
them
away
captiues
vnto
a
land
far
off
or
neere:
37
Yet
if
they
bethinke
themselues
in
the
land
whither
they
are
caried
captiue,
and
turne
and
pray
vnto
thee
in
the
land
of
their
captiuitie,
saying,
Wee
haue
sinned,
we
haue
done
amisse,
and
haue
dealt
wickedly:
38
If
they
returne
to
thee
with
all
their
heart,
and
with
all
their
soule,
in
the
land
of
their
captiuitie,
whither
they
haue
caried
them
captiues,
and
pray
toward
their
land
which
thou
gauest
vnto
their
fathers,
and
toward
the
citie
which
thou
hast
chosen,
and
toward
the
house
which
I
haue
built
for
thy
Name:
39
Then
heare
thou
from
the
heauens,
euen
from
thy
dwelling
place,
their
prayer
and
their
supplications,
and
maintaine
their
cause,
and
forgiue
thy
people,
which
haue
sinned
against
thee.
40
Now,
my
God,
let
(I
beseech
thee)
thine
eyes
bee
open,
and
let
thine
eares
be
attent
vnto
the
prayer
that
is
made
in
this
place.
41
Now
therefore
arise,
O
Lord
God,
into
thy
resting
place,
thou,
and
the
Arke
of
thy
strength:
Let
thy
Priests,
O
Lord
God,
be
clothed
with
saluation,
and
let
thy
Saints
reioyce
in
goodnesse.
42
O
Lord
God,
turne
not
away
the
face
of
thine
anointed:
remember
the
mercies
of
Dauid
thy
seruant.
