And Solomon said, If he will
shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
And Solomon replied, “If he is a man of character, not a single hair of his will fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he will die.”
And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee
nay,) that he give me
Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
Adonijah replied, “Please speak to King Solomon,
since he will not turn you down. Let him give me
Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why
dost thou ask
Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for
Abiathar the priest, and for
Joab the son of Zeruiah.
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request
Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah?
Since he is my older brother, you might as well request the kingdom for him and for
Abiathar the priest and for
Joab son of Zeruiah!”
And unto
Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been
afflicted in all wherein my father was
afflicted.
Then the king said to
Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time,
since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”
And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for
thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for
thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for
thyself understanding to
discern judgment;
So God said to him, “
Since you have asked for this instead of requesting long life or wealth for
yourself or death for your enemies—but you have asked for
discernment to
administer justice—

cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
And he placed the
cherubim inside the
innermost room of the temple.
Since their wings were spread out, the wing of the first
cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the second
cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the room their wingtips touched.
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou
didst well that it was in thine heart.
But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.

confess thy name, and pray, and make
supplication unto thee in this house:

sinned against You, and they return to You and

sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
then may You hear from heaven and
forgive the
sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to their fathers.
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have
sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and
confess thy name, and turn from their
sin, when thou afflictest them:
When the
skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have
sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and
confess Your name, and they turn from their
sins because You have
afflicted them,
Then hear thou in heaven, and
forgive the
sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
then may You hear from heaven and
forgive the
sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and
forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You
forgive and act, and repay each man according to all his ways,
since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of all men—
If they
sin against thee, (for there is no man that
sinneth not,) and thou be
angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away
captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
When they
sin against You—for there is no one who does not
sin—and You become
angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as
captives to his own land, whether far or near,
and when they come to their senses in the land to which they were taken, and they
repent and
plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have
sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’
May You
forgive Your people who have
sinned against You and all the transgressions they have committed against You, and may You grant them
compassion in the eyes of their captors to show them mercy.
The same day did the king
hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the
brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the
courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings,
since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.
And the king made of the
almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house, harps also and
psalteries for
singers: there came no such
almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.

almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the
singers. Never before had such
almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)

sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto
Dan.

sin; the people walked as far as
Dan to worship before one of the
calves.
And this thing became
sin unto the house of
Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
And this was the
sin of the house of
Jeroboam that led to its
extermination and destruction from the face of the earth.

exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of
Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to
sin, to
provoke me to anger with their
sins;
“Even though I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, you have walked in the way of
Jeroboam and have caused My people Israel to
sin and to
provoke Me to anger by their
sins.

slew all the house of

Baasha. He did not leave a
single male, whether a
kinsman or friend.
For all the
sins of
Baasha, and the
sins of Elah his son, by which they
sinned, and by which they made Israel to
sin, in

vanities.

sins which he
sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of

sin.

sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.

Baal, and worshipped him.

sin to
remembrance, and to
slay my son?

yourselves one bull and prepare it first. Then call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire.”

Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and
Elijah brought them down to the
brook Kishon, and
slew them there.

Baal! Do not let a
single one escape.” So they seized them, and

vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better
vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
So

vineyard to use as a vegetable garden,
since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better
vineyard in its place—or if you
prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”

Finally, they said to one another, “We are not doing what is right.
Today is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until morning light, our
sin will overtake us. Now, therefore, let us go and tell the king’s household.”

alway a light, and to his children.

forever.

chariots and horses, a fortified city and
weaponry,
So
Jehu slew all that remained of the house of
Ahab in
Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
So
Jehu killed
everyone in
Jezreel who remained of the house of
Ahab, as well as all his great men and close friends and priests, leaving him without a
single survivor.
Howbeit from the
sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to
sin,
Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden

slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own
sin.

sin a great
sin.

How then
wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for
chariots and for
horsemen?

Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto
Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the
Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, along with Shebnah and Joah, said to the
Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in
Aramaic,
since we understand it. Do not speak with us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
Because
Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the
Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to
sin with his idols:
“
Since Manasseh king of Judah has committed all these abominations, acting more wickedly than the
Amorites who preceded him, and with his idols has caused Judah to
sin,
Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have
provoked me to anger,
since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
because they have done evil in My sight and have
provoked Me to anger from the day their fathers came out of Egypt until this day.’”

sin wherewith he made Judah to
sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Moreover,
Manasseh shed so much innocent blood that he filled Jerusalem from end to end, in addition to the
sin that he had caused Judah to commit, doing evil in the sight of the LORD.
Now the rest of the acts of
Manasseh, and all that he did, and his
sin that he
sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
As for the rest of the acts of
Manasseh, along with all his accomplishments and the
sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

Bethel, and the high place which
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to
sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he

appoint their brethren to be the
singers with instruments of musick,
psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.
And
since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will
subdue all thine enemies.
Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
and have done
since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will
subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.
Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly
ashamed. And the king said,

since the men had been thoroughly
humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in
Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
And David said unto God, I have
sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I
beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very
foolishly.
Then David said to God, “I have
sinned greatly because I have done this thing. Now I
beg You to take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very
foolishly.”
And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have
sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
And David said to God, “Was it not I who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has
sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? O LORD my God, please let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house, but do not let this plague remain upon Your people.”
And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one
reckoning, according to their father’s house.
Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a
single assignment.
And there were more chief men found of the sons of
Eleazar than of the sons of
Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of
Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of
Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
Since more leaders were found among
Eleazar’s descendants than those of
Ithamar, they were divided accordingly. There were sixteen heads of families from the descendants of
Eleazar and eight from the descendants of
Ithamar.
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for
thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
God said to Solomon, “
Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or glory for
yourself or death for your enemies—and
since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to
govern My people over whom I have made you king—
But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
But who is able to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain Him? Who then am I, that I should build a house for Him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before Him?
Also the Levites which were the
singers, all of them of
Asaph, of Heman, of
Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being
arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and
psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with
trumpets:)
all the
Levitical singers—
Asaph, Heman,
Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps, and lyres, accompanied by 120 priests sounding
trumpets.
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and
singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and
thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the
trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
The trumpeters and
singers joined together to praise and
thank the LORD with one voice. They lifted up their voices, accompanied by
trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures
forever.” And the temple, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
‘
Since the day I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there, nor have I chosen
anyone to be ruler over My people Israel.
But the LORD said to David my father,
Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou
didst well in that it was in thine heart:
But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
