11:007:001 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he
           finished all his house.

11:007:002 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length
           thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty
           cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows
           of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

11:007:003 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay
           on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.

11:007:004 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against
           light in three ranks.

11:007:005 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and
           light was against light in three ranks.

11:007:006 And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty
           cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch
           was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were
           before them.

11:007:007 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even
           the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one
           side of the floor to the other.

11:007:008 And his house where he dwelt had another court within the
           porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house
           for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto
           this porch.

11:007:009 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of
           hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from
           the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward
           the great court.

11:007:010 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones,
           stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

11:007:011 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed
           stones, and cedars.

11:007:012 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed
           stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of
           the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.

11:007:013 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

11:007:014 He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father
           was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with
           wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in
           brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

11:007:015 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high
           apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them
           about.

11:007:016 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the
           tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five
           cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:

11:007:017 And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the
           chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for
           the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.

11:007:018 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one
           network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with
           pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.

11:007:019 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were
           of lily work in the porch, four cubits.

11:007:020 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also
           above, over against the belly which was by the network: and
           the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the
           other chapiter.

11:007:021 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he
           set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin:
           and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof
           Boaz.

11:007:022 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work
           of the pillars finished.

11:007:023 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the
           other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits:
           and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

11:007:024 And under the brim of it round about there were knops
           compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about:
           the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

11:007:025 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and
           three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the
           south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set
           above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

11:007:026 And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was
           wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it
           contained two thousand baths.

11:007:027 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of
           one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three
           cubits the height of it.

11:007:028 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had
           borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

11:007:029 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions,
           oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base
           above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions
           made of thin work.

11:007:030 And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass:
           and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver
           were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.

11:007:031 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit:
           but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a
           cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings
           with their borders, foursquare, not round.

11:007:032 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of
           the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel
           was a cubit and half a cubit.

11:007:033 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot
           wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes,
           and their spokes, were all molten.

11:007:034 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one
           base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.

11:007:035 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a
           cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and
           the borders thereof were of the same.

11:007:036 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders
           thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according
           to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.

11:007:037 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one
           casting, one measure, and one size.

11:007:038 Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty
           baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of
           the ten bases one laver.

11:007:039 And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five
           on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right
           side of the house eastward over against the south.

11:007:040 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So
           Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king
           Solomon for the house of the LORD:

11:007:041 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were
           on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover
           the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the
           pillars;

11:007:042 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two
           rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls
           of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;

11:007:043 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;

11:007:044 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

11:007:045 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these
           vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the
           LORD, were of bright brass.

11:007:046 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay
           ground between Succoth and Zarthan.

11:007:047 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were
           exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.

11:007:048 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house
           of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold,
           whereupon the shewbread was,

11:007:049 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and
           five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the
           lamps, and the tongs of gold,

11:007:050 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the
           spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold,
           both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place,
           and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.

11:007:051 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house
           of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his
           father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the
           vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the
           LORD.
 

11:008:001 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.

11:008:002 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king
           Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the
           seventh month.

11:008:003 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the
           ark.

11:008:004 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.

11:008:005 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.

11:008:006 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.

11:008:007 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.

11:008:008 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.

11:008:009 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.

11:008:010 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the
           holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

11:008:011 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.

11:008:012 Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the
           thick darkness.

11:008:013 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place
           for thee to abide in for ever.

11:008:014 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the
           congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel
           stood;)

11:008:015 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,

11:008:016 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.

11:008:017 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house
           for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

11:008:018 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.

11:008:019 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.

11:008:020 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.

11:008:021 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.

11:008:022 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:

11:008:023 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:

11:008:024 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.

11:008:025 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.

11:008:026 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be
           verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.

11:008:027 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?

11:008:028 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:

11:008:029 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.

11:008:030 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.

11:008:031 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:

11:008:032 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.

11:008:033 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:

11:008:034 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.

11:008:035 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:

11:008:036 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.

11:008:037 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;

11:008:038 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:

11:008:039 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;)

11:008:040 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the
           land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

11:008:041 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people
           Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;

11:008:042 (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;

11:008:043 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.

11:008:044 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:

11:008:045 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication,
           and maintain their cause.

11:008:046 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;

11:008:047 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;

11:008:048 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:

11:008:049 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven
           thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

11:008:050 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:

11:008:051 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou
           broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace
           of iron:

11:008:052 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.

11:008:053 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.

11:008:054 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.

11:008:055 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with
           a loud voice, saying,

11:008:056 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.

11:008:057 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let
           him not leave us, nor forsake us:

11:008:058 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.

11:008:059 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:

11:008:060 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is
           God, and that there is none else.

11:008:061 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.

11:008:062 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice
           before the LORD.

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.
