WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.040 Chapter 7 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven 00:07.040 --> 00:09.800 and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices. 00:10.580 --> 00:12.620 And the glory of the Lord filled the house. 00:13.420 --> 00:17.620 And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord because the glory of the 00:17.620 --> 00:19.360 Lord had filled the Lord's house. 00:21.060 --> 00:25.760 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down and the glory of 00:25.760 --> 00:30.180 the Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground 00:30.180 --> 00:35.540 upon the pavement and worshipped and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good, 00:35.940 --> 00:38.180 for his mercy endureth forever. 00:38.700 --> 00:41.760 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. 00:42.500 --> 00:48.820 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 20 and 2,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. 00:49.740 --> 00:53.460 So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 00:54.200 --> 00:58.920 And the priests waited on their offices, the Levites also with instruments of music 00:58.920 --> 01:03.700 of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the Lord, because his mercy 01:03.700 --> 01:04.700 endureth forever. 01:05.780 --> 01:10.200 When David praised by their ministry, and the priests sounded trumpets before 01:10.200 --> 01:12.240 them, and all Israel stood. 01:13.460 --> 01:17.280 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the 01:17.280 --> 01:17.560 Lord. 01:18.300 --> 01:21.960 For there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, 01:21.960 --> 01:26.860 because the brassen altar, which Solomon had made, was not able to receive the 01:26.860 --> 01:29.780 burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. 01:30.740 --> 01:35.840 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, 01:36.140 --> 01:40.580 a very great congregation, from the entering inn of Hamath unto the river of 01:40.580 --> 01:40.920 Egypt. 01:41.940 --> 01:46.700 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly, for they kept the dedication of 01:46.700 --> 01:49.840 the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 01:50.420 --> 01:54.640 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month, he sent the people away 01:54.640 --> 01:59.560 into their tents, glad and merry in heart, for the goodness that the Lord had showed 01:59.560 --> 02:02.600 unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. 02:03.640 --> 02:06.760 Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house. 02:07.340 --> 02:10.480 And all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, 02:10.860 --> 02:13.720 and in his own house, he prosperously effected. 02:14.260 --> 02:19.100 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy 02:19.100 --> 02:23.540 prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 02:24.500 --> 02:29.680 If I shut up heaven, that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to 02:29.680 --> 02:35.160 devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people, if my people, 02:35.480 --> 02:41.360 which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, 02:41.720 --> 02:46.680 and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will 02:46.680 --> 02:49.380 forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 02:50.020 --> 02:54.580 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attend unto the prayer that is made in 02:54.580 --> 02:55.160 this place. 02:55.840 --> 03:00.720 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there forever, 03:01.320 --> 03:04.820 and mine eyes, and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 03:05.800 --> 03:11.060 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, 03:11.060 --> 03:15.840 and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my 03:15.840 --> 03:20.400 statutes and my judgments, then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, 03:21.020 --> 03:26.180 according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail 03:26.180 --> 03:28.200 thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 03:28.920 --> 03:34.200 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have 03:34.200 --> 03:40.000 set before you, and shall go and serve other gods and worship them, then will I 03:40.000 --> 03:43.500 pluck them up by the roots out of my land, which I have given them. 03:44.060 --> 03:49.500 And this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, 03:49.960 --> 03:54.020 and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 03:54.780 --> 03:59.260 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that 03:59.260 --> 04:00.240 passeth by it. 04:00.740 --> 04:06.860 So that he shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land and unto this 04:06.860 --> 04:07.260 house? 04:07.260 --> 04:13.020 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, 04:13.540 --> 04:18.600 which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, 04:18.820 --> 04:21.320 and worshipped them, and served them. 04:21.980 --> 04:25.500 Therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
