14:007:002 And the priests could not enter into the
house of the lord,
because
the glory of the lord had filled the LORD’s
house.
14:007:003 And when all the children of Israel saw
how the fire came
down,
and the glory of the lord upon the house, they
bowed
themselves
with their faces to the ground upon the pavement,
and
worshipped, and praised the lord, saying, For
he is good;
for
his mercy endureth for ever.
14:007:004 Then the king and all the people offered
sacrifices before the
lord.
14:007:005 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of
twenty and two
thousand
oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep:
so
the
king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
14:007:006 And the priests waited on their offices:
the Levites also with
instruments
of musick of the lord, which David the king had
made
to praise the lord, because his mercy endureth
for ever,
when
David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded
trumpets
before them, and all Israel stood.
14:007:007 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of
the court that was
before
the house of the lord: for there he offered
burnt
offerings,
and the fat of the peace offerings, because the
brasen
altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive
the
burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
14:007:008 Also at the same time Solomon kept the
feast seven days, and
all
Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the
entering
in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
14:007:009 And in the eighth day they made a solemn
assembly: for they
kept
the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast
seven
days.
14:007:010 And on the three and twentieth day of the
seventh month he
sent
the people away into their tents, glad and merry in
heart
for
the goodness that the lord had shewed unto David,
and to
Solomon,
and to Israel his people.
14:007:011 Thus Solomon finished the house of the
lord, and the king’s
house:
and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make
in the
house
of the lord, and in his own house, he prosperously
effected.
14:007:012 And the lord appeared to Solomon by
night, and said unto him,
I
have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to
myself
for
an house of sacrifice.
14:007:013 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain,
or if I command the
locusts
to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my
people;
