And when Solomon had finished praying, then fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house

And the king and all the people were sacrificing sacrifices before the Lord.

and the priests standing at their watches and the Levites with instruments of songs of the Lord, of David the king, to give thanks before the Lord, because his mercy is forever, in hymns of David by their hand, and the priests trumpeting with the trumpets before them, and all Israel standing

And Solomon sanctified the middle of the court that was in the house of the Lord, because he made there the whole burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that Solomon made was not able to receive the whole burnt offerings and the offerings and the fat.

And Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath and as far as the brook of Egypt.

And God appeared to Solomon by night and said to him, I have heard your prayer and I have chosen for myself in this place a house of sacrifice.

If I shut up the heaven and there be no rain, and if I command the locust to devour the tree, and if I send death among my people

and if my people, upon whom my name has been called upon them, shall be ashamed and pray and seek my face and turn back from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven and will be gracious to their sins and will heal their land

Now my eyes shall be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place

And now I have chosen and sanctified this house, for my name to be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there all the days.

And you, if you shall walk before me as David your father and shall do according to all that I commanded you, and my statutes and my judgments you shall keep

and I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, there shall not be cut off from you a man ruling in Israel

And if you turn away and forsake my ordinances and my commandments which I set before you, and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them

and I will remove you from the land that I gave to them, and this house that I sanctified to my name I will cast away from before my face, and I will give it for a proverb and for a byword among all the nations

And this house, the high one, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will say, For what cause has the Lord done this to this land and to this house?

And they shall say, Because they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers, the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they took hold of other gods and bowed down to them and served them; therefore he brought upon them all this evil.
