jub - 1Kings:8-9

jub@1Kings:8:1 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the families of the sons of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion.

jub@1Kings:8:2 @ And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto King Solomon in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month, on the solemn day.

jub@1Kings:8:3 @ And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

jub@1Kings:8:4 @ And they brought up the ark of the LORD and the tabernacle of the testimony and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, which the priests and the Levites carried.

jub@1Kings:8:5 @ And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him [were] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

jub@1Kings:8:6 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, in the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubim.

jub@1Kings:8:7 @ For the cherubim had their wings extended over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves from above.

jub@1Kings:8:8 @ And they drew out the staves so that the ends of the staves could be seen out in the holy [place] in front of the oracle, but they could not be seen from outside, and thus they remained until today.

jub@1Kings:8:9 @ [There was] nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD cut a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

jub@1Kings:8:10 @ And when the priests came out of the holy [place], the cloud filled the house of the LORD.

jub@1Kings:8:11 @ And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

jub@1Kings:8:12 @ Then Solomon said, The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

jub@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built thee a house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

jub@1Kings:8:14 @ And the king turned his face about and blessed all the congregation of Israel, and all the congregation of Israel were standing.

jub@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and with his hand has fulfilled [it], saying,

jub@1Kings:8:16 @ Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there, but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

jub@1Kings:8:17 @ And it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

jub@1Kings:8:18 @ But the LORD said unto David, my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;

jub@1Kings:8:19 @ nevertheless, thou shalt not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build [a] house unto my name.

jub@1Kings:8:20 @ And the LORD has established his word that he spoke, and I have risen up in the place of David, my father, and sit on the throne of Israel as the LORD had said and have built a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

jub@1Kings:8:21 @ And I have set there a place for the ark, in which [is] the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

jub@1Kings:8:22 @ And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and extending his hands toward heaven,

jub@1Kings:8:23 @ he said, LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee, in the heavens above or on earth beneath, who keeps the covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart,

jub@1Kings:8:24 @ who hast kept unto thy servant David, my father, what thou didst declare unto him; thou didst say it with thy mouth and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as [we see] this day.

jub@1Kings:8:25 @ Therefore, now, LORD God of Israel, fulfill unto thy servant David, my father, what thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if thy sons keep their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

jub@1Kings:8:26 @ And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be made firm, which thou didst speak unto thy servant David, my father.

jub@1Kings:8:27 @ But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens, the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?

jub@1Kings:8:28 @ Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prays before thee today,

jub@1Kings:8:29 @ that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, [even] toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there that thou may hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make in this place.

jub@1Kings:8:30 @ Therefore, thou shalt hearken unto the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel when they shall pray in this place and hear in thy dwelling place, from the heavens; please hear and forgive.

jub@1Kings:8:31 @ When anyone shall have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath is laid upon him to cause him to swear and the oath comes before thy altar in this house,

jub@1Kings:8:32 @ thou shalt hear from heaven and do and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

jub@1Kings:8:33 @ When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee and shall turn again to thee and confess thy name and pray and make supplication with humility unto thee in this house,

jub@1Kings:8:34 @ then thou shalt hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of thy people Israel and bring them again unto the land which thou didst give unto their fathers.

jub@1Kings:8:35 @ When heaven is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray in this place and confess thy name and turn from their sin when thou hast afflicted them,

jub@1Kings:8:36 @ then thou shalt hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of thy servants and of thy people Israel, teaching them the good way in which they should walk and shalt give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

jub@1Kings:8:37 @ When there is famine in the land or pestilence or blasting or mildew or locusts or caterpillars, if their enemy besieges them in the land of their gates, whatever plague, whatever sickness [there is],

jub@1Kings:8:38 @ every prayer and every supplication made by any man or by all thy people Israel, when anyone knows the plague of his own heart and spreads forth his hands toward this house,

jub@1Kings:8:39 @ then thou shalt hear in the heavens, in the habitation of thy dwelling place, and forgive and do and give to each one according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, [even] thou only, knowest the hearts of all the sons of men),

jub@1Kings:8:40 @ that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou didst give unto our fathers.

jub@1Kings:8:41 @ Likewise concerning a stranger, that [is] not of thy people Israel, but comes out of a far country for thy name's sake

jub@1Kings:8:42 @ (for they shall have heard of thy great name and of thy strong hand and of thy stretched out arm), when he shall come to pray in this house,

jub@1Kings:8:43 @ thou shalt hear in the heavens, in the habitation of thy dwelling place, and do according to all that for which the stranger shall have called unto thee, that all peoples of the earth may know thy name and fear thee as [do] thy people Israel and that they may know that thy name is invoked upon this house, which I have built.

jub@1Kings:8:44 @ If thy people go out to battle against their enemies by the way which thou shalt send them and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen and [toward] the house that I have built for thy name,

jub@1Kings:8:45 @ thou shalt hear in the heavens their prayer and their supplication and do their judgment.

jub@1Kings:8:46 @ If they have sinned against thee (for [there is] no man that does not sin) and thou should be angry with them and deliver them to the enemy so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near,

jub@1Kings:8:47 @ and they return unto their heart in the land where they were carried captives and return and make supplication unto thee in the land of those that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned and have done iniquity, we have committed wickedness;

jub@1Kings:8:48 @ and [so] convert themselves unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou didst give unto their fathers, [toward] the city which thou hast chosen and the house which I have built for thy name,

jub@1Kings:8:49 @ thou shalt hear in the heavens, in the habitation of thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplication and do what is right unto them

jub@1Kings:8:50 @ and forgive thy people that have sinned against thee and all their rebellions by which they have rebelled against thee and cause those who carried them captive to have mercy on them,

jub@1Kings:8:51 @ for they [are] thy people and thy inheritance, which thou didst bring forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace.

jub@1Kings:8:52 @ Let thine eyes be open unto the supplication of thy servant and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

jub@1Kings:8:53 @ For thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, [to be] thy inheritance, as thou didst speak by the hand of Moses, thy servant, when thou didst bring our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

jub@1Kings:8:54 @ 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 extended toward heaven.

jub@1Kings:8:55 @ And he stood and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

jub@1Kings:8:56 @ Blessed [be] the LORD that has given rest unto his people Israel according to all that he had said; not one word has failed of all his good word, which he spoke by the hand of Moses, his servant.

jub@1Kings:8:57 @ The LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him not leave us nor forsake us

jub@1Kings:8:58 @ that he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his rights, which he commanded our fathers.

jub@1Kings:8:59 @ And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near unto the LORD our God day and night that he maintain the judgment of his servant and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require;

jub@1Kings:8:60 @ that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD [is] God, [and that there is] no other.

jub@1Kings:8:61 @ Let your heart, therefore, be perfect with the LORD our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.

jub@1Kings:8:62 @ Then the king and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before the LORD.

jub@1Kings:8:63 @ And Solomon offered sacrifices of peace, which he offered unto the LORD, [which were] twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

jub@1Kings:8:64 @ That same day the king sanctified the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD, for there he offered the burnt offerings and the presents and the fat of the peace [offerings] because the brasen altar that [was] before the LORD [was] too small to receive the burnt offerings and the presents and the fat of the peace [offerings].

jub@1Kings:8:65 @ 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, for seven days and another seven days, [even] fourteen days.

jub@1Kings:8:66 @ On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they, blessing the king, went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done unto David, his servant, and unto Israel his people.:

jub@1Kings:9:1 @ And when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD and the king's house and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

jub@1Kings:9:2 @ the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.

jub@1Kings:9:3 @ And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication that thou hast made in my presence. I have sanctified this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever, and my eyes and my heart shall be there all the days.

jub@1Kings:9:4 @ And if thou wilt walk before me as David, thy father, walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, keeping my statutes and my rights,

jub@1Kings:9:5 @ then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever as I spoke unto David, thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

jub@1Kings:9:6 @ [But] if ye shall obstinately turn from following me, ye or your sons, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,

jub@1Kings:9:7 @ I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them, and this house, which I have sanctified unto my name, I will cast out of my sight, and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples;

jub@1Kings:9:8 @ and at this house, [which] was high, any one that passes by it shall be astonished and shall hiss, and they shall say, Why has the LORD done thus unto this land and to this house?

jub@1Kings:9:9 @ And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt and have taken hold upon other gods and have worshipped them and served them; for this the LORD has brought upon them all this evil.

jub@1Kings:9:10 @ And it came to pass at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD and the king's house

jub@1Kings:9:11 @ (for which Hiram, the king of Tyre, had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees and with gold, according to all his desire), that then King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

jub@1Kings:9:12 @ And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they did not please him.

jub@1Kings:9:13 @ And he said, What cities [are] these which thou hast given me, my brother? And they called them the land of Cabul unto this day.

jub@1Kings:9:14 @ And Hiram had sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.

jub@1Kings:9:15 @ And this [is] the account of the levy which King Solomon raised to build the house of the LORD and his own house and Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.

jub@1Kings:9:16 @ [For] Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had gone up and taken Gezer and burnt it with fire and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city and given it [for] a gift unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.

jub@1Kings:9:17 @ And Solomon built Gezer and Bethhoron, the lower,

jub@1Kings:9:18 @ and Baalath and Tadmor in the land of the wilderness,

jub@1Kings:9:19 @ likewise all the cities of store that Solomon had and cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion.

jub@1Kings:9:20 @ [And] all the peoples [that were] left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which [were] not of the sons of Israel,

jub@1Kings:9:21 @ their children that were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon those Solomon levied a tribute of bondservice unto this day.

jub@1Kings:9:22 @ But of the sons of Israel, Solomon did not impose service, but they [were] men of war, or his servants or his princes or his captains or rulers of his chariots or his horsemen.

jub@1Kings:9:23 @ And those that Solomon had made princes and officers over Solomon's work [were] five hundred and fifty, who bore rule over the people that wrought in the work.

jub@1Kings:9:24 @ But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her; then he built Millo.

jub@1Kings:9:25 @ And three times in a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace [offerings] upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that [was] before the LORD, after the house was finished.

jub@1Kings:9:26 @ And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which [is] beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

jub@1Kings:9:27 @ And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

jub@1Kings:9:28 @ And they went to Ophir and brought gold from there, four hundred and twenty talents and brought [it] to king Solomon.:

jub@1Kings:10:1 @ And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with enigmas.
