1Kings:8:52-
Seeker Overlay ON
*
That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant ,
and unto the supplication of thy people Israel Yisra #
el #,
to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee .
*
For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth ,
to be thine inheritance ,
as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant ,
when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt ,
O Lord GOD .
*
And it was so ,
that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD ,
he arose from before the altar of the LORD ,
from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven .
*
And he stood ,
and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice ,
saying ,
*
Blessed be the LORD ,
that hath given rest unto his people Israel Yisra #
el #,
according to all that he promised :
there hath not failed one word of all his good promise ,
which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant .
*
The LORD our God be with us ,
as he was with our fathers :
let him not leave us ,
nor forsake us :
*
That he may incline our hearts unto him ,
to walk in all his ways ,
and to keep his commandments ,
and his statutes ,
and his judgments ,
which he commanded our fathers .
*
And let these my words ,
wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD ,
be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night ,
that he maintain the cause of his servant ,
and the cause of his people Israel at all times yowm #,
as the matter shall require :
*
That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God ,
and that there is none else .
*
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God ,
to walk in his statutes ,
and to keep his commandments ,
as at this day .
*
And the king ,
and all Israel with him ,
offered sacrifice before the LORD .
*
And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings ,
which he offered unto the LORD ,
two and twenty thousand oxen ,
and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep tso #
n #.
So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD .
*
The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD :
for there he offered burnt offerings ,
and meat offerings ,
and the fat of the peace offerings :
because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings ,
and meat offerings ,
and the fat of the peace offerings .
*
And at that time Solomon held a feast ,
and all Israel with him ,
a great congregation ,
from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt ,
before the LORD our God ,
seven days and seven days ,
even fourteen #
H6240days .
*
On the eighth day he sent #
the people away :
and they blessed the king ,
and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant ,
and for Israel his people .
