00:00.000 --> 00:06.020
Chapter 6 Then said Solomon, The Lord hath
said that he would dwell in the thick

00:06.020 --> 00:06.440
darkness.

00:07.440 --> 00:11.920
But I have built a house of habitation for
thee, and a place for thy dwelling for

00:11.920 --> 00:12.140
ever.

00:12.540 --> 00:16.340
And the king turned his face, and blessed
the whole congregation of Israel.

00:17.440 --> 00:19.380
And all the congregation of Israel stood.

00:20.100 --> 00:25.460
And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of
Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled

00:25.460 --> 00:30.160
that which he spake with his mouth to my
father David, saying, Since the day that I

00:30.160 --> 00:34.920
brought forth my people out of the land of
Egypt, I chose no city among all the

00:34.920 --> 00:38.660
tribes of Israel to build a house in,
that my name might be there.

00:39.200 --> 00:42.480
Neither chose I any man to be a ruler over
my people Israel.

00:43.040 --> 00:48.520
But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name
might be there, and have chosen David to

00:48.520 --> 00:49.800
be over my people Israel.

00:50.640 --> 00:55.040
Now it was in the heart of David my father
to build a house for the name of the Lord

00:55.040 --> 00:55.840
God of Israel.

00:56.400 --> 01:01.580
But the Lord said to David my father,
Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to

01:01.580 --> 01:05.600
build a house for my name, thou didst
dwell in that it was in thine heart.

01:06.640 --> 01:10.060
Notwithstanding, thou shalt not build the
house.

01:10.620 --> 01:16.180
But thy son, which shall come forth out of
thy loins, he shall build the house for my

01:16.180 --> 01:16.580
name.

01:17.320 --> 01:20.680
The Lord therefore hath performed his word
that he hath spoken.

01:21.180 --> 01:26.080
For I am risen up in the room of David my
father, and am set on the throne of Israel

01:26.080 --> 01:30.920
as the Lord promised, and have built the
house for the name of the Lord God of

01:30.920 --> 01:31.360
Israel.

01:31.960 --> 01:36.940
And in it have I put the ark wherein is
the covenant of the Lord that he made with

01:36.940 --> 01:37.940
the children of Israel.

01:38.160 --> 01:42.140
And he stood before the altar of the Lord
in the presence of all the congregation of

01:42.140 --> 01:44.420
Israel, and spread forth his hands.

01:45.380 --> 01:50.180
For Solomon had made a brassen scaffold,
of five cubits long, and five cubits

01:50.180 --> 01:54.060
broad, and three cubits high, and had set
it in the midst of the court.

01:54.900 --> 01:59.580
And upon it he stood, and kneeled down
upon his knees before all the congregation

01:59.580 --> 02:05.000
of Israel, and spread forth his hands
toward heaven, and said, O Lord God of

02:05.000 --> 02:10.620
Israel, there is no God like thee in the
heaven nor in the earth, which keepest

02:10.620 --> 02:15.460
covenant, and showest mercy unto thy
servants that walk before thee with all

02:15.460 --> 02:16.100
their hearts.

02:16.900 --> 02:21.380
Thou which hast kept with thy servant
David my father, which thou hast promised

02:21.380 --> 02:25.940
him, and spakest with thy mouth,
and hast fulfilled it with thine hand,

02:26.020 --> 02:27.340
as it is this day.

02:28.480 --> 02:34.500
Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel,
keep with thy servant David my father that

02:34.500 --> 02:39.080
which thou hast promised him, saying,
There shall not fail thee a man in my

02:39.080 --> 02:43.860
sight to sit upon the throne of Israel,
yet so that thy children take heed to

02:43.860 --> 02:47.760
their way to walk in my law, as thou hast
walked before me.

02:48.540 --> 02:53.960
Now then, O Lord God of Israel,
let thy word be verified which thou hast

02:53.960 --> 02:55.540
spoken unto thy servant David.

02:56.420 --> 02:59.820
But will God in very deed dwell with men
on the earth?

03:00.420 --> 03:05.300
Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens
cannot contain thee, how much less this

03:05.300 --> 03:06.520
house which I have built.

03:07.500 --> 03:11.820
Have respect therefore to the prayer of
thy servant, and to his supplication,

03:11.900 --> 03:16.600
O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and
the prayer which thy servant prayeth

03:16.600 --> 03:21.400
before thee, that thine eyes may be open
upon this house day and night,

03:21.880 --> 03:26.280
upon the place whereof thou hast said that
thou wouldest put thy name there,

03:26.640 --> 03:30.140
to hearken unto the prayer which thy
servant prayeth toward this place.

03:30.940 --> 03:35.660
Hearken therefore unto the supplications
of thy servant and of thy people Israel,

03:36.020 --> 03:37.840
which they shall make toward this place.

03:38.500 --> 03:43.160
Hear thou from thy dwelling place,
even from heaven, and when thou hearest,

03:43.800 --> 03:44.140
forgive.

03:45.360 --> 03:50.220
If a man sin against his neighbor,
and an oath be laid upon him to make him

03:50.220 --> 03:55.620
swear, and the oath come before thine
altar in this house, then hear thou from

03:55.620 --> 04:01.780
heaven, and do, and judge thy servants by
requiting the wicked, by recompensing his

04:01.780 --> 04:07.340
way upon his own head, and by justifying
the righteous, by giving him according to

04:07.340 --> 04:08.120
his righteousness.

04:08.900 --> 04:14.020
And if thy people Israel be put to the
worse before the enemy, because they have

04:14.020 --> 04:19.200
sinned against thee, and shall return and
confess thy name, and pray and make

04:19.200 --> 04:24.080
supplication before thee in this house,
then hear thou from the heavens,

04:24.540 --> 04:29.500
and forgive the sin of thy people Israel,
and bring them again unto the land which

04:29.500 --> 04:31.500
thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

04:32.400 --> 04:37.340
When the heaven is shut up, and there is
no rain because they have sinned against

04:37.340 --> 04:43.500
thee, yet if they pray toward this place,
and confess thy name, and turn from their

04:43.500 --> 04:48.720
sin when thou dost afflict them,
then hear thou from heaven, and forgive

04:48.720 --> 04:53.680
the sin of thy servants, and of thy people
Israel, when thou hast taught them the

04:53.680 --> 04:58.540
good way wherein they should walk,
and send rain upon thy land, which thou

04:58.540 --> 05:00.760
hast given unto thy people for an
inheritance.

05:01.700 --> 05:06.100
If there be dearth in the land,
if there be pestilence, if there be

05:06.100 --> 05:11.180
blasting or mildew, locusts or
caterpillars, if their enemies besiege

05:11.180 --> 05:15.380
them in the cities of their land,
whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness

05:15.380 --> 05:20.400
there be, then what prayer or what
supplication soever shall be made of any

05:20.400 --> 05:25.620
man, or of all thy people Israel,
when every one shall know his own sore and

05:25.620 --> 05:31.920
his own grief, and shall spread forth his
hands in this house, then hear thou from

05:31.920 --> 05:37.820
heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive,
and render unto every man according unto

05:37.820 --> 05:40.660
all his ways, whose heart thou knowest.

05:41.500 --> 05:46.580
For thou only knowest the hearts of the
children of men, that they may fear thee

05:46.580 --> 05:51.100
to walk in thy ways so long as they live
in the land which thou gavest unto our

05:51.100 --> 05:51.500
fathers.

05:52.440 --> 05:56.660
Moreover concerning the stranger,
which is not of thy people Israel,

05:56.960 --> 06:02.320
but is come from a far country for thy
great name's sake, and thy mighty hand,

06:02.620 --> 06:08.480
and thy stretched out arm, if they come
and pray in this house, then hear thou

06:08.480 --> 06:13.380
from the heavens, even from thy dwelling
place, and do according to all that the

06:13.380 --> 06:18.340
stranger calleth to thee for, that all
people of the earth may know thy name,

06:18.520 --> 06:23.940
and fear thee as doth thy people Israel,
and may know that this house which I have

06:23.940 --> 06:25.760
built is called by thy name.

06:26.460 --> 06:31.040
If thy people go out to war against their
enemies, by the way that thou shalt send

06:31.040 --> 06:35.360
them, and they pray unto thee toward the
city which thou hast chosen, and the house

06:35.360 --> 06:39.620
which I have built for thy name,
then hear thou from the heavens their

06:39.620 --> 06:43.360
prayer and their supplication,
and maintain their cause.

06:44.160 --> 06:49.380
If they sin against thee, for there is no
man which sinneth not, and thou be angry

06:49.380 --> 06:53.620
with them, and deliver them over before
their enemies, and they carry them away

06:53.620 --> 06:56.020
captives unto a land far off or near.

06:56.020 --> 07:00.460
Yet if they bethink themselves in the land
whither they are carried captive,

07:00.800 --> 07:05.880
and turn and pray unto thee in the land of
their captivity, saying, We have sinned,

07:06.120 --> 07:09.020
we have done amiss, and have dealt
wickedly.

07:09.480 --> 07:13.860
If they return to thee with all their
heart, and with all their soul in the land

07:13.860 --> 07:18.000
of their captivity, whither they have
carried them captives, and prayed toward

07:18.000 --> 07:22.500
their land which thou gavest unto their
fathers, and toward the city which thou

07:22.500 --> 07:28.040
hast chosen, and toward the house which I
have built for thy name, then hear thou

07:28.040 --> 07:32.560
from the heavens, even from thy dwelling
place, their prayer and their

07:32.560 --> 07:38.220
supplications, and maintain their cause,
and forgive thy people which have sinned

07:38.220 --> 07:39.020
against thee.

07:40.120 --> 07:47.840
Now, my God, let I beseech thee,
thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be

07:47.840 --> 07:50.300
attent unto the prayer that is made in
this place.

07:50.300 --> 07:58.220
Now, therefore, arise, O Lord God,
into thy resting place, thou and the ark

07:58.220 --> 07:59.100
of thy strength.

07:59.740 --> 08:05.700
Let thy priests, O Lord God, be clothed
with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice

08:05.700 --> 08:06.420
in goodness.

08:07.360 --> 08:11.420
O Lord God, turn not away the face of
thine anointed.

08:12.200 --> 08:15.400
Remember the mercies of David,
thy servant.
