11:008:063 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.
11:008:064 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.
11:008:065 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.
11:008:066 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.
11:009:001 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,
11:009:002 That the lord appeared to Solomon
the second time, as he had
appeared
unto him at Gibeon.
11:009:003 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.
11:009:004 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:
11:009:005 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.
11:009:006 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:
11:009:007 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:
