8 Then King Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes (the chief fathers of the children of Israel) to him in Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD from the City of David, which is Zion.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled to King Solomon at the feast, in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 And all the elders of Israel came. And the priests took the Ark.
4 They bore the Ark of the LORD. And they bore the Tabernacle of the Congregation and all the holy vessels that were in the Tabernacle, those the priests and Levites brought up.
5 And King Solomon, and all the Congregation of Israel who were assembled to him, were with him before the Ark, offering sheep and oxen (which were too numerous to count or assess).
6 So, the priests brought the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD to its place, into the Oracle of the House, into the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the Cherubim.
7 For the Cherubim stretched out their wings over the place of the Ark. And the Cherubim covered the Ark and its poles above.
8 And they drew out the poles, so that the ends of the poles might appear out of the Sanctuary, before the Oracle. But they were not seen outside. And they are there to this day.
9 Nothing was in the Ark except the two Tables of stone which Moses had put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a Covenant with the children of Israel, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
10 And when the priests had come out of the Sanctuary, the cloud filled the House of the LORD,
11 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud. For the Glory of the LORD had filled the House of the LORD.
12 Then Solomon spoke, “The LORD said that He would dwell in the dark cloud.
13 “I have built You a House to dwell in, a habitation for You to abide in forever.”
14 And the king turned his face and blessed all the Congregation of Israel. For all the Congregation of Israel stood.
15 And he said, “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, Who spoke with His Mouth to David, my father, and has, with His Hand, fulfilled it, saying,
16 ‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel to build a House, so that My Name might be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people, Israel.’
17 “And it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a House to the Name of the LORD God of Israel.
18 “And the LORD said to David, my father, ‘Insomuch as it was in your heart to build a House to My Name, you did well that you were so minded.
19 ‘Nevertheless, you shall not build the House. But your son, who shall come out of your loins, he shall build the House to My Name.’
20 “And the LORD has made good His Word that He spoke. And I have risen up in the room of David, my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the House for the Name of the LORD God of Israel.
21 “And I have prepared a place for the Ark in it, in which is the Covenant of the LORD which He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
22 Then Solomon stood before the Altar of the LORD, in the sight of all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his hands toward Heaven,
23 and said, “O LORD God of Israel! There is no God like You in Heaven above or on the Earth beneath, You Who keep Covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their heart;
24 “You Who have kept with Your servant David, my father, that You have promised him. For You spoke with Your Mouth and have fulfilled it with Your Hand, as it is this day.
25 “Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with Your servant David, my father, that You have promised him, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man in My sight to sit upon the throne of Israel, so that your children attend to their way, so that they walk before Me, as you have walked in My sight.’
26 “And now, O God of Israel, I pray, let Your Word be verified which You spoke to your servant David, my father.
27 “Is it indeed true that God will dwell on the Earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of heavens, are not able to contain You! How much more so is this House that I have built?
28 “But have respect to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hear the cry and prayer which Your servant prays before You this day!
29 “So that Your Eyes may be open toward this House, night and day, toward the place of which You have said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may listen to the prayer which Your servant prays in this place.
30 “Hear, therefore, the supplication of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, who pray in this place! And hear in the place of Your habitation, in Heaven! And when You hear, have mercy!
31 “When a man shall trespass against his neighbor, and he lays upon him an oath, to cause him to swear. And the swearer shall come before Your Altar, into this House,
32 “then hear in Heaven and do, and judge Your servants, so that You condemn the wicked, to bring his way upon his head! And justify the righteous, to give to him according to his righteousness.
33 “When Your people Israel shall be overthrown before the enemy, because they have sinned against You, and turn back to you and confess Your Name and pray and make supplication to You in this House,
34 “then hear in Heaven and be merciful to the sin of Your people Israel! And bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers.
35 “When the sky shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain because they have sinned against You, and shall pray in this place, and confess Your Name, and turn from their sin, when You afflict them,
36 “then hear in Heaven! And pardon the sin of Your servants and of Your people Israel (after You have taught them the good way in which they may walk) and give rain upon the land that You have given Your people to inherit!
37 “When there shall be famine in the land, when there shall be pestilence, when there shall be blight, mildew, grasshopper or caterpillar; when their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land, any plague, any sickness,
38 “whatever prayer, supplication shall be made by any man of all Your people Israel, when everyone shall know the plague in his own heart and stretch forth his hands in this House,
39 “hear then in Heaven, in Your dwelling place, and be merciful, and do, and give every man according to all his ways, as You know his heart (for only You know the hearts of all the children of men),
40 “so that they may fear You as long as they live in the land which You gave to our fathers!
41 “Moreover, regarding the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, who shall come out of a far country for Your Name’s sake
42 “(when they shall hear of Your great Name and of Your mighty Hand and of Your outstretched Arm), and shall come and pray in this House,
43 “hear in Heaven (Your dwelling place) and do according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the people of the Earth may know Your Name and fear You as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that Your Name is called upon in this House which I have built!
44 “When Your people shall go out to battle against their enemy, by the way that You shall send them, and shall pray to the LORD, toward the way of the city which You have chosen, and the House that I have built for Your Name,
45 “hear, then, their prayer in Heaven, and their supplication, and judge their cause.
46 “When they sin against You (for there is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemies, so that they carry them away prisoners to the land of the enemies, either far or near,
47 “yet, if they turn back their heart in the land to which they are carried away captives and return and pray to You in the land of those who carried them away captives, saying, ‘We have sinned! We have transgressed and done wickedly!’
48 “if they turn back to You with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who led them away captives, and pray to You toward the way of their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the House which I have built for Your Name,
49 “then hear their prayer and their supplication in Heaven, Your dwelling place, and judge their cause!
50 “And be merciful to Your people who have sinned against You, and to all their iniquities in which they have transgressed against You. And cause it to be that those who led them away captives may have pity and compassion on them.
51 “For they are Your people, and Your inheritance, which You brought out of Egypt from the midst of the iron furnace.
52 “Let Your Eyes be open to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your people Israel, to listen to them in all that they call for to You.
53 “For You separated them to Yourself from among all people of the Earth for an inheritance, as You said by the hand of Moses, Your servant, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God!”
54 And when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he rose from before the Altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees, and stretching of his hands to Heaven,
55 and stood and blessed all the Congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 “Blessed be the LORD Who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised! There has not failed one Word of all His good promise which He promised by the hand of Moses, His servant!
57 “The LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers, so that He does not forsake us or leave us,
58 “so that He may bow our hearts to Him, so that we may walk in all His ways, and keep His Commandments, and His Statutes, and His Laws which He Commanded our fathers!
59 “And these, my words, which I have prayed before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God, day and night, so that He defends the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel always, as the matter requires,
60 “so that all the people of the Earth may know that the LORD is God! None other!
61 “Therefore, let your heart be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in His Statutes and to keep His Commandments, as this day!”
62 Then the king, and all Israel with him, offered Sacrifice before the LORD.
63 And Solomon offered a Sacrifice of Peace Offerings, which he offered to the LORD: twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred twenty thousand sheep. So, the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the House of the LORD.
64 The same day, the king consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the House of the LORD. For he made the Burnt Offerings and Meat Offerings and the fat of the Peace Offerings there, because the bronze Altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the Burnt Offerings and the Meat Offerings and the fat of the Peace Offerings.
65 And Solomon made a feast before the LORD our God at that time, and all Israel with him (a very great Congregation), from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt, for seven days and seven days (fourteen days).
66 And on the eighth day, he sent the people away. And they thanked the king and went to their tents joyous and with glad hearts, because of all the goodness that the LORD had done for David, His servant, and for Israel, His people.
5 Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children.
2 And walk in love, just as Christ has loved us and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor to God.
3 But do not let fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness even be named among you (as is also becoming to saints),
4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse joking (which are not fitting); but rather the giving of thanks.
5 For this you know: that no fornicator, nor impure or covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. For the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.
7 Therefore, do not be companions with them.
8 For you were once darkness but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
10 approving that which is pleasing to the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. But rather, even expose them.
12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
13 But all things, when they are exposed by the light, are made visible. For it is light that makes all things visible.
14 Therefore it says, “Awake, you who sleep. And stand up from the dead. And Christ shall shine upon you.”
15 Be mindful, therefore, that you walk carefully - not as fools, but as wise -
16 redeeming the season. For the days are evil.
17 Therefore, be not unwise. But, understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 And do not be drunk with wine (wherein is wastefulness). But, be filled with the Spirit,
19 speaking to yourselves in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts,
20 giving thanks always, for all things, to God, even the Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as to the Lord.
23 For the husband is the wife’s head, even as Christ is the head of the Church. And the same is the Savior of the body.
24 But, as the Church is in subjection to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the Church, and gave Himself for her;
26 so that He might sanctify her and cleanse her by the washing of water through the Word,
27 So that He might make her a glorious Church to Himself, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing. But that it should be holy and without blame.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife, loves himself.
29 For no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord does the Church.
30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cling to his wife. And the two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great secret. But I speak concerning Christ and concerning the Church.
33 Yet, let every one of you do the same. Let everyone love his wife, even as himself. And let the wife see that she fears her husband.
38 And the Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
2 “Son of men, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 “and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I come against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!
4 “And I will destroy you and put hooks in your jaws. And I will bring you forth and all your army, horses and horsemen, all clothed with all sorts of armor, a great multitude with bucklers and shields, all handling swords,
5 “those of Paras, of Cush, and Put with them, all those who bear shield and helmet:
6 “Gomer and all his bands, the house of Togarmah of the North quarters and all his bands, and many people with you.
7 “Prepare yourself and make yourself ready—you and all your multitude who are assembled to you—and be their safeguard.
8 “After many days, you shall be visited. In the latter years, you shall come into the land that has been destroyed with the sword and has been gathered from many people, upon the mountains of Israel which have long lain waste. Yet they have been brought out from the people; and they shall dwell all safely.
9 “You shall ascend and come up like a storm and shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your bands and many people with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “At the same time, things shall come into your mind; and you shall think evil thoughts.
11 “And you shall say, ‘I will go up to the land that has no walled towers. I will go to those who are at rest and dwell in safety—who all dwell without walls and have neither bars nor gates—
12 “to plunder the prey and to take a spoil, to turn your hand upon the desolate places that are inhabited and upon the people who are gathered out of the nations which have gotten cattle and goods and dwell in the midst of the land.
13 “Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its lions, shall say to you, ‘Have you come to plunder the prey? Have you gathered your multitude to take a spoil, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to spoil a great prey?’”’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day, when My people of Israel dwell safely, shall you not know it
15 “and come from your place out of the northern parts—you and many people with you, all riding upon horses—a great multitude and a mighty army.
16 “And you shall come up against My people of Israel. As a cloud to cover the land you shall be in the latter days. And I will bring you upon My land, so that the heathen may know Me when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”
17 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Are you not him of whom I have spoken in old time, by the hand of My servants, the Prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days and years that I would bring you upon them?
18 “Also, at the same time, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “My wrath shall arise in My anger.
19 “For in My indignation, in the fire of My wrath, have I spoken it. Surely at that time there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel,
20 “so that the fishes of the sea and the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field and all that moves and creeps upon the Earth, and all the men who are upon the Earth, shall tremble at My presence. And the mountains shall be overthrown; and the steep places shall fall; and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 “For I will call for a sword against him throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD, “Every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 “And I will execute judgment against him with pestilence and with blood. And I will cause to rain upon him and upon his bands and upon the great people who are with him, a sore rain and hailstones, fire and brimstone.
23 “Thus will I be magnified and sanctified and known in the eyes of many nations. And they shall know that I am the LORD.”’
89 I will sing the mercies of the LORD forever. With my mouth I will declare Your truth from generation to generation.
2 For I said, “Mercy shall be set up forever. Your truth shall You establish in the very heavens.
3 “I have made a covenant with My Chosen. I have sworn to David My servant,
4 “‘Your Seed will I establish forever and set up your Throne from generation to generation.’” Selah.
5 O LORD, even the heavens shall praise Your wondrous work; indeed, Your truth, in the Congregation of the saints.
6 For who is equal to the LORD in the heaven? Who is like the LORD among the sons of the gods?
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be reverenced above all who are around Him.
8 O, LORD God of Hosts, Who is a mighty LORD like You? And Your truth surrounds You.
9 You rule the raging of the sea. When the waves thereof arise, You still them.
10 You have beaten down Rahab as a man slain. You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11 The heavens are Yours. The Earth is also Yours. You have laid the foundation of the world and all that therein is.
12 You have created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in Your Name.
13 You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong. Your right hand is high.
14 Righteousness and equity are the establishment of Your throne. Mercy and truth go before Your face.
15 Blessed is the people who can rejoice in You. They shall walk in the light of Your countenance, O LORD.
16 They shall rejoice continually in Your Name; and in Your righteousness they shall exalt themselves.
17 For You are the glory of their strength; and by Your favor our horns shall be exalted.
18 For our shield belongs to the LORD, and our King to the Holy One of Israel.
19 You spoke, then, in a vision to Your holy one, and said, “I have laid help upon one who is mighty. I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 “I have found David, My servant. With My holy oil have I anointed him.
21 “Therefore, My hand shall be established with him and My arm shall strengthen him.
22 “The enemy shall not oppress him, nor shall the wicked hurt him.
23 “But I will destroy his foes before his face and plague those who hate him.
24 “My truth also, and My mercy, shall be with him; and in My Name shall his horn be exalted.
25 “I will also set his hand in the sea, and his right hand in the floods.
26 “He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.’
27 “Also, I will make him My firstborn, higher than the kings of the Earth.
28 “I will keep My mercy for him for evermore; and My Covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 “I will also make his Seed endure forever, and his Throne as the days of Heaven.
30 “If his children forsake My Law and do not walk in My Judgments,
31 “if they break my statutes and do not keep My Commandments,
32 “then I will visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with strokes.
33 “Yet, I will not take My lovingkindness from him, nor will I falsify My truth.
34 “Nor will I break My Covenant, nor alter the thing that has gone out of My lips.
35 “I have sworn once, by My holiness, that I will not fail David.
36 “His Seed shall endure forever; and his Throne shall be as the Sun before Me.
37 “He shall be established forevermore as the Moon, and as a faithful witness in the heaven.” Selah.
38 But You have rejected and abhorred. You have been angry with Your anointed.
39 You have broken the Covenant of Your servant and profaned his crown, casting it on the ground.
40 You have broken down all his walls. You have laid his fortresses in ruin.
41 All who go by the way, plunder him. He is a rebuke to his neighbors.
42 You have set up the right hand of his enemies and made all his adversaries rejoice.
43 You have also turned the edge of his sword and have not made him stand in the battle.
44 You have caused his dignity to decay and cast his throne to the ground.
45 You have shortened the days of his youth and covered him with shame. Selah.
46 LORD, how long will You hide Yourself? Forever? Shall Your wrath burn like fire?
47 Remember how short my time is. Why should You create all the children of men in vain?
48 What man lives and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
49 LORD, where are Your former mercies You swore to David in Your truth?
50 Remember, O LORD, the rebuke of Your servants, which I bear in my bosom, of all the mighty people.
51 For Your enemies have reproached, O LORD, because they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.
52 Praise the LORD forevermore! So be it. Even so be it. A prayer of Moses, the man of God
