For thou didst separateh914h8689 them from among all the peopleh5971 of the earthh776, to be thine inheritanceh5159, as thou spakesth1696h8765 by the handh3027 of Mosesh4872 thy servanth5650, when thou broughtesth3318h8687 our fathersh1 out of Egypth4714, O Lordh136 GODh3069.

54

And it was so , that when Solomonh8010 had made an endh3615h8763 of prayingh6419h8692 all this prayerh8605 and supplicationh8467 unto the LORDh3068, he aroseh6965h8804 from beforeh6440 the altarh4196 of the LORDh3068, from kneelingh3766h8800 on his kneesh1290 with his handsh3709 spread uph6566h8803 to heavenh8064.

The LORDh3068 our Godh430 be with us, as he was with our fathersh1: let him not leaveh5800h8799 us, nor forsakeh5203h8799 us:

58

That he may inclineh5186h8687 our heartsh3824 unto him, to walkh3212h8800 in all his waysh1870, and to keeph8104h8800 his commandmentsh4687, and his statutesh2706, and his judgmentsh4941, which he commandedh6680h8765 our fathersh1.

59

And let these my wordsh1697, wherewith I have made supplicationh2603h8694 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068, be nighh7138 unto the LORDh3068 our Godh430 dayh3119 and nighth3915, that he maintainh6213h8800 the causeh4941 of his servanth5650, and the causeh4941 of his peopleh5971 Israelh3478 at all timesh3117h3117, as the matterh1697 shall require: at all...: Heb. the thing of a day in his day

61

Let your hearth3824 therefore be perfecth8003 with the LORDh3068 our Godh430, to walkh3212h8800 in his statutesh2706, and to keeph8104h8800 his commandmentsh4687, as at this dayh3117.

62

And the kingh4428, and all Israelh3478 with him, offeredh2076h8802 sacrificeh2077 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068.

63

And Solomonh8010 offeredh2076h8799 a sacrificeh2077 of peace offeringsh8002, which he offeredh2076h8804 unto the LORDh3068, twoh8147 and twentyh6242 thousandh505 oxenh1241, and an hundredh3967 and twentyh6242 thousandh505 sheeph6629. So the kingh4428 and all the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 dedicatedh2596h8799 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

64

The same dayh3117 did the kingh4428 hallowh6942h8765 the middleh8432 of the courth2691 that was beforeh6440 the househ1004 of the LORDh3068: for there he offeredh6213h8804 burnt offeringsh5930, and meat offeringsh4503, and the fath2459 of the peace offeringsh8002: because the brasenh5178 altarh4196 that was beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 was too littleh6996 to receiveh3557h8687 the burnt offeringsh5930, and meat offeringsh4503, and the fath2459 of the peace offeringsh8002.

65

And at that timeh6256 Solomonh8010 heldh6213h8799 a feasth2282, and all Israelh3478 with him, a greath1419 congregationh6951, from the enteringh935h8800 in of Hamathh2574 unto the riverh5158 of Egypth4714, beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 our Godh430, sevenh7651 daysh3117 and sevenh7651 daysh3117, even fourteenh702h6240 daysh3117.

66

On the eighthh8066 dayh3117 he senth7971 the peopleh5971 awayh7971h8765: and they blessedh1288h8762 the kingh4428, and wenth3212h8799 unto their tentsh168 joyfulh8056 and gladh2896 of hearth3820 for all the goodnessh2896 that the LORDh3068 had doneh6213h8804 for Davidh1732 his servanth5650, and for Israelh3478 his peopleh5971. blessed: or, thanked
