008:020 Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I am risen up
in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel,
as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name
of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
008:021 There have I set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant
of Yahweh, which he made with our fathers, when he brought
them out of the land of Egypt.
008:022 Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all
the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;
008:023 and he said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you,
in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keep covenant
and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you
with all their heart;
008:024 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you
did promise him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have
fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
008:025 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant
David my father that which you have promised him, saying,
There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne
of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way,
to walk before me as you have walked before me.
008:026 Now therefore, God of Israel, Please let your word be verified,
which you spoke to your servant David my father.
008:027 But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold,
heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you;
how much less this house that I have built!
008:028 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for
his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to
the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;
008:029 that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day,
even toward the place of which you have said, My name shall
be there; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall
pray toward this place.
008:030 Listen you to the supplication of your servant, and of your
people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place:
yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when
you hear, forgive.
008:031 If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid on him
to cause him to swear, and he come [and] swear before your
altar in this house;
008:032 then hear you in heaven, and do, and judge your servants,
condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head,
and justifying the righteous, to give him according
to his righteousness.
008:033 When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy,
because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you,
and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you
in this house:
008:034 then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel,
