King James Version
1. When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. 2. And the priests could not enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’S house. 3. When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying : "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever." 4. Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. 5. King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty–two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 6. And the priests attended to their services; the Levites also with instruments of the music of the LORD, which King David had made to praise the LORD, saying, "For His mercy endures forever," whenever David offered praise by their ministry. The priests sounded trumpets opposite them, while all Israel stood. 7. Furthermore Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the LORD; for there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat. 8. At that time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt. 9. And on the eighth day they held a sacred assembly, for they observed the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 10. On the twenty–third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the good that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel. 11. Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD and the king’s house; and Solomon successfully accomplished all that came into his heart to make in the house of the LORD and in his own house. 12. Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13. "When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14. "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15. "Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. 16. "For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 17. "As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, 18. "then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’ 19. "But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, 20. "then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 21. "And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done thus to this land and this house?’ 22. "Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.’"
1. It came to pass at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house, 2. that the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them; and he settled the children of Israel there. 3. And Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and seized it. 4. He also built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities which he built in Hamath. 5. He built Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars, 6. also Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities and the cities of the cavalry, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 7. All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of Israel–– 8. that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel did not destroy––from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day. 9. But Solomon did not make the children of Israel servants for his work. Some were men of war, captains of his officers, captains of his chariots, and his cavalry. 10. And others were chiefs of the officials of King Solomon: two hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people. 11. Now Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places to which the ark of the LORD has come are holy." 12. Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD which he had built before the vestibule, 13. according to the daily rate, offering according to the commandment of Moses, for the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the three appointed yearly feasts––the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. 14. And, according to the order of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for so David the man of God had commanded. 15. They did not depart from the command of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasuries. 16. Now all the work of Solomon was well–ordered from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed. 17. Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and Elath on the seacoast, in the land of Edom. 18. And Hiram sent him ships by the hand of his servants, and servants who knew the sea. They went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and acquired four hundred and fifty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.
1. Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions, having a very great retinue, camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart. 2. So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for Solomon that he could not explain it to her. 3. And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, 4. the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers and their apparel, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her. 5. Then she said to the king: " It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. 6. "However I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You exceed the fame of which I heard. 7. "Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom! 8. "Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness." 9. And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones; there never were any spices such as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 10. Also, the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum wood and precious stones. 11. And the king made walkways of the algum wood for the house of the LORD and for the king’s house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers; and there were none such as these seen before in the land of Judah. 12. Now King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, much more than she had brought to the king. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants. 13. The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty–six talents of gold, 14. besides what the traveling merchants and traders brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 15. And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered gold went into each shield. 16. He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. 17. Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 18. The throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests. 19. Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom. 20. All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon. 21. For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant ships came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys. 22. So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 23. And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 24. Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year. 25. Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. 26. So he reigned over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. 27. The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland. 28. And they brought horses to Solomon from Egypt and from all lands. 29. Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat? 30. Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 31. Then Solomon rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
21. Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. 22. And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23. Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24. saying, "Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are––the Holy One of God!" 25. But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" 26. And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27. Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him." 28. And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee. 29. Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30. But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31. So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them. 32. At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon–possessed. 33. And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34. Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him. 35. Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. 36. And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. 37. When they found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You." 38. But He said to them, "Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth." 39. And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons. 40. Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean." 41. Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." 42. As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43. And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once, 44. and said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." 45. However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.
