22 And Jthe Lorp hath_performed His -word that He spake, and I am_ risen_up in the_room_of David a father, and sit on the_throne_of Israél, aas ‘the Lorp promised, and have_ built @ xhouse for the_name_of 4! the Lorp =God_of Israél.
21 And I have_set there a place for the ark, wherein is the_coyenant_of ‘the Lorp, which He ¢made with our fathers, when He brought thent out_of the_land_of Egypt.”
2 And Solomon stood before the_ altar_of ‘the Lorp in the_presence_ of all the_«congregation _of Israél, and spread_forth his hands toward x=heayen ;
23 And he said,
“3S Lorp =God_of Israél, there is no =God like Thee, in x=heaven above, or on xearth beneath, +~who_keepest xcove- nant and /xmercy with Thy servants xsthat walk before Thee with all their
heart :
24 Who shast_kept with Thy servant David my father -that Thou promis- edst him: Thou spakest also with Thy mouth, and -hast_fulfilled 7¢ with Thine hand, as it is xthis «day.
2 Therefore now, / Lorp =God_of Israél, -keep with Thy servant David my father -that Thou promisedst him, say- ing, ‘There shall not fail thee a *man in My sight +to_sit on the_throne_of Israél ; so that thy « children take_heed to their way, that they walk before Me «as thou -hast_walked before Me.’
26 And now, O_=God_of Israél, ‘let Thy word, I_pray_Thee, be_verified, which Thou spakest unto Thy servant David my father.
27 But will =God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the =heaven and xheayens cannot contain Thee ; how much_less xthis xhouse that
-| I -have_builded ?
23 Yet shave_Thou_respect unto the_ prayer_of Thy servant, and to his sup- plication, O_’ Lorp my =God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which a servant prayeth before Thee to- day :
* That Thine eyes ‘may_be open to- ward xthis xhouse night and day, even toward the place_of which Thou shast_ said, ‘My name shall_be there:’ that_ Thou_mayest_hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant shall_make toward xthis xplace.
80 And -hearken Thou to the_suppli- cation_of Thy seryant, and of Thy people Israel, when they shall.pray toward xthis xplace: and thear Thon in ¢xheaven Thy dwelling place: and when Thou hearest, «forgive.
