CHAPTER 8
1 Kings 8:1
1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the chief of the fathers of the children 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. 1 Kings 8:2
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast
in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. 1 Kings 8:3
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark. 1 Kings
8:4
4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the
congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those
did the priests and the Levites bring up. 1 Kings 8:5
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 told nor numbered for multitude. 1 Kings 8:6
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his
place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the
wings of the cherubims.
1 Kings 8:7
7 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and
the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 1 Kings 8:8
8 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in
the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there
they are unto this day.
1 Kings 8:9
9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put
there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when
they came out  of the land  of Egypt. 1 Kings 8:10
10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that
the cloud filled the house of the LORD, 1 Kings 8:11
11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for
the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD. 1 Kings 8:12
12 Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
1 Kings 8:13
13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to
abide in for ever.
1 Kings 8:14
14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of
Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;) 1 Kings 8:15
15 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth
unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 1 Kings 8:16
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no
city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be
therein; but I chose  David  to be over my people  Israel. 1 Kings 8:17
17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of
the LORD God of Israel.
1 Kings 8:18
18 And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to
build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart. 1
Kings 8:19
19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come
forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. 1 Kings 8:20
20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the
room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised,
and have built  an house  for the name  of the LORD  God  of Israel.
1 Kings 8:21
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the
LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of
Egypt.
1 Kings 8:22
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the
congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven: 1 Kings 8:23
23 And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above,
or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk
 before  thee with all their heart: 1 Kings 8:24
24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him:
thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it
is this day.
1 Kings 8:25
25 Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father
that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight
to sit  on the throne  of Israel;  so  that thy children  take heed to their
way,  that they walk  before  me as thou hast walked  before  me. 1 Kings 8:26
26 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou
spakest unto thy servant David my father. 1 Kings 8:27
27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of
heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? 1
Kings 8:28
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 prayeth before thee to day: 1 Kings 8:29
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 mayest hearken
unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place. 1 Kings 8:30
30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people
Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy
dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive. 1 Kings 8:31
31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to
cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house: 1 Kings
8:32
32 Then hear thou in 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. 1 Kings 8:33
33 When thy people Israel be 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 unto thee in this house: 1 Kings 8:34
34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and
bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers. 1 Kings
8:35
35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned
against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn
from their sin, when thou afflictest them: 1 Kings 8:36
36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy
people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and
give rain  upon thy land,  which thou hast given  to thy people  for an
inheritance.
1 Kings 8:37
37 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew,
locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of
their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness  there be; 1 Kings 8:38
38 What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people
Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread
forth his hands toward this house: 1 Kings 8:39
39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give
to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even
thou only, knowest the hearts  of all the children  of men;) 1 Kings 8:40
40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou
gavest unto our fathers.
1 Kings 8:41
41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh
out of a far country for thy name's sake; 1 Kings 8:42
42 (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy
stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house; 1 Kings 8:43
43 Hear thou in heaven 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,
to fear thee, as do thy people  Israel;  and that they may know  that this
house,  which I have builded,  is called  by thy name. 1 Kings 8:44
44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever 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: 1 Kings 8:45
45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain
their cause.
1 Kings 8:46
46 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou
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; 1 Kings 8:47
47 Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried
captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that
carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we
have committed wickedness; 1 Kings 8:48
48 And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in
the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee
toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou
hast chosen,  and the house  which I have built  for thy name: 1 Kings 8:49
49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling
place, and maintain their cause,
1 Kings 8:50
50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their
transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them
compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion
on them:
1 Kings 8:51
51 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth
out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: 1 Kings 8:52
52 That thine eyes may 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.
1 Kings 8:53
53 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. 1 Kings 8:54
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  spread up  to heaven. 1 Kings 8:55
55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice,
saying,
1 Kings 8:56
56 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, 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. 1 Kings 8:57
57 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave
us, nor forsake us:
1 Kings 8:58
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 judgments, which he commanded
our fathers.
1 Kings 8:59
59 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, as the matter 
shall require:
1 Kings 8:60
60 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that
there is none else.
1 Kings 8:61
61 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. 1 Kings 8:62
62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD. 1
Kings 8:63
63 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.  So the king  and all the children  of Israel  dedicated  the house of
the LORD.
1 Kings 8:64
64 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. 1 Kings 8:65
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,  seven  days  and seven  days,  even fourteen  days. 1 Kings
8:66
66 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. CHAPTER 9
1 Kings 9:1
1 And it came to pass, 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,
1 Kings 9:2
2 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto
him at Gibeon.
1 Kings 9:3
3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication,
that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast
built, to put my name there for  ever;  and mine eyes  and mine heart  shall be
there perpetually.
1 Kings 9:4
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,
and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: 1 Kings 9:5
5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I
promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the
throne of Israel.
1 Kings 9:6
6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will
not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go
and serve other gods,  and worship  them: 1 Kings 9:7
7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this
house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and
Israel shall be a proverb and a byword  among all people: 1 Kings 9:8
8 And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be
astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus
unto this land, and to this house?
1 Kings 9:9
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: therefore hath the LORD 
brought  upon them all this evil. 1 Kings 9:10
10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the
two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house, 1 Kings 9:11
11 (Now 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. 1 Kings 9:12
12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him;
and they pleased him not.
1 Kings 9:13
13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And
he called them the land of Cabul unto this day. 1 Kings 9:14
14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold. 1 Kings 9:15
15 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build
the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem,
and Hazor,  and Megiddo,  and Gezer. 1 Kings 9:16
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
present  unto his daughter,  Solomon's  wife. 1 Kings 9:17
17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether, 1 Kings 9:18
18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, 1 Kings 9:19
19 And 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. 1 Kings 9:20
20 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,
Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel, 1 Kings 9:21
21 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of
Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a
tribute of bondservice unto this day. 1 Kings 9:22
22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men
of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his
chariots, and his horsemen.
1 Kings 9:23
23 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five
hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work. 1
Kings 9:24
24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which
Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo. 1 Kings 9:25
25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer 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.  So he finished  the house. 1 Kings
9:26
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. 1 Kings 9:27
27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the
sea, with the servants of Solomon. 1 Kings 9:28
28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and
twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon. CHAPTER 10
1 Kings 10:1
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 hard questions. 1 Kings 10:2
2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare
spices, and very much gold, and precious stones:  and when she was come  to
Solomon,  she communed  with him of all that was in her heart. 1 Kings 10:3
3 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the
king, which he told her not.
1 Kings 10:4
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that
he had built,
1 Kings 10:5
5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the
attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his
ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit
 in her.
1 Kings 10:6
6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land
of thy acts and of thy wisdom. 1 Kings 10:7
7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it:
and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the
fame which I heard.
1 Kings 10:8
8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually
before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. 1 Kings 10:9
9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the
throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he
thee king,  to do  judgment  and justice. 1 Kings 10:10
10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices
very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance  of
spices  as these which the queen  of Sheba  gave  to king Solomon.
1 Kings 10:11
11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from
Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones. 1 Kings 10:12
12 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and
for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such
almug  trees,  nor were seen  unto this day. 1 Kings 10:13
13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she
asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned
and went  to her own country,  she and her servants. 1 Kings 10:14
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred
threescore and six talents of gold, 1 Kings 10:15
15 Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice
merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
1 Kings 10:16
16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred
shekels of gold went to one target. 1 Kings 10:17
17 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went
to one shield: and the king put  them in the house  of the forest  of Lebanon.
1 Kings 10:18
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the
best gold.
1 Kings 10:19
19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and
there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood 
beside  the stays.
1 Kings 10:20
20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six
steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom. 1 Kings 10:21
21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of
the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver:  it
was nothing  accounted  of in the days  of Solomon. 1 Kings 10:22
22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in
three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing  gold,  and silver, ivory, 
and apes,  and peacocks.
1 Kings 10:23
23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for
wisdom.
1 Kings 10:24
24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put
in his heart.
1 Kings 10:25
25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of
gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate  year by
year.
1 Kings 10:26
26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand
and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in
the cities  for chariots,  and with the king  at Jerusalem. 1 Kings 10:27
27 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to
be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance. 1 Kings 10:28
28 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's
merchants received the linen yarn at a price. 1 Kings 10:29
29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of
silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the
Hittites, and for the kings  of Syria,  did they bring them out  by their
means.
