in the stalls.

And at the neck, on the top of the chair, half a cubit high, round about, were ledges and sides on the chair.

And he digged on the surface of the same sides and borders cherubims, and lions, and palm trees; every one by the other round about.

And in this manner he made ten chairs, cast, of the same measure, and of the same space, in all of them.

And he made ten brasen caldrons, that forty baths might go into one caldron: and the caldron was four cubits high, and upon every throne was a caldron.

And he set five chairs at the right hand corner of the house, and the other five at the left hand corner: and he set the sea on the right hand before the south.

And Hiram also made pots, and shovels, and basons; and finished all the works which king Solomon made in the house of the LORD,

Namely, the two pillars, and the two censers on the top of the two pillars, and the two plaited bands to cover the two censers on the pillars;

and the four hundred pomegranates on the two wreathed hoops, two rows of pomegranates on each hoop, to cover the two pommels on the pillars;

Plus the ten pews and ten kettles on top;

And the sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

And the pots, and the shovels, and the beckons. And all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon in the house of the LORD, were of pure brass.

In the region of Jordan the king cast them, in thick earth, between Shukoth and Zarthan.

And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed before the very great multitude of the brass.

Solomon also made all the vessels of the house of the LORD, a golden altar, and a golden table, whereon the shewbread was laid;

Five candlesticks on the right hand, and five candlesticks on the left hand, before the choir, of pure gold, with flowers of gold, and lamps, and snows;

And bowls, and dishes, and basons, and spoons, and pans, of pure gold. And the hinges of the door of the inner house of the holy of holies, and of the door of the house of the temple, were of gold.

So all the work that king Solomon did in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, which David his father had hallowed, and put them in the treasury of the house of the LORD.
(1 Kings)
Chapter 8
The temple of Solomon is dedicated.

Then king Solomon gathered unto him the elders of Israel, all the princes of the tribes, and the rulers of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

And there were gathered together unto king Solomon all the men of Israel in the month Ethanim, in the feast, which is the seventh moon.

And when all the elders of Israel were come, the priests lifted up the ark of the LORD, 4. And they brought them up, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the vessels of the
sanctuary that were in the tabernacle. And the priests and the Levites did so.

And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were gathered unto him, went with him before the ark, and offered sheep and oxen so much that they could not be numbered nor reckoned.

So the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD into their place, into the choir of the house, into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubims.

For the cherubims spread forth their wings in the place where the ark stood, and covered the ark and the staves thereof from above.

And the rods were so long, that the pommels thereof were seen in the sanctuary before the choir, but they were not seen without: and they were there unto this day.

And there was nothing in the ark, save the two tables of stone of Moses, which he left there in Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

And as the priests went out of the sanctuary, a cloud filled the house of the LORD, 11. So that the priests could not stand and minister before the cloud. For the glory of the LORD
filled the house of the LORD.

And Solomon said, The LORD hath spoken that he will dwell in darkness.

For I have built thee an house for thy dwelling, a habitation, that thou mayest dwell therein for ever.

And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake by his mouth unto David my father, and fulfilled by his hand, saying:

From the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not mentioned a city among any tribe of Israel, to build me an house, that my name might be there: but David have I mentioned to be over my people Israel.

And my father David purposed to build an house unto the name of the LORD God of Israel; 18. And the LORD said unto David my father, Because thou hast purposed to build an house for my name, thou hast done well to undertake it;

But thou shalt not build the house, but the son that shall come out of thy loins, he shall build an house for my name.

And the LORD hath confirmed his word which he spake. For I am risen up in the stead of David my father. And I sit upon the throne of Israel, as the LORD hath spoken; and have built an house unto the name of the LORD God of Israel.

And I have prepared there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them up out of the land of Egypt.

And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD against all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.

And he said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like unto thee in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, that keepeth covenant and mercy unto thy servants which walk before thee with all their heart:

Who hast kept unto thy servant David my father that which thou hast spoken unto him. With thy mouth hast thou spoken it, and with thine hand hast thou fulfilled it, as it is this day.

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep unto thy servant David my father that which thou hast spoken unto him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man before me, that sitteth upon the throne of Israel: yet let thy children keep their way, that they may walk before me, as thou hast walked before me.

Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy words come to pass, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David my father.

For thinkest thou that God dwelleth on the earth? Behold, the heavens and all the heavens may not provide for thee. How then shall this house which I have built?

But turn to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O LORD my God, that thou mayest hear the praise and the prayer which thy servant maketh before thee this day,

That thine eyes may be open upon this house night and day, upon the place of which thou hast said: My name shall be there. Thou shalt hear the prayer that thy servant maketh in this place,

And hear the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall do in this thy dwelling place which is in heaven; and when thou hearest it, be gracious.

If a man sin against his neighbour, and take an oath upon him to be bound, and the oath come before thine altar in this house,

Then hear thou in heaven, and do justice unto thy servants, to condemn the wicked, and to bring his way upon his head, and to judge the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

When thy people Israel are smitten before their enemies, because they have sinned against thee, and turn unto thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee, in this house,

Then hear thou in heaven, and be merciful to the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again into the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

When the heavens are shut up, that it rain not, because they have sinned against thee, and shall pray in this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sins, because thou hast urged them,

Then hear thou in heaven, and have mercy on the sin of thy servants, and on thy people Israel, to shew them the good way wherein they shall walk, and to rain upon the land which thou hast given thy people for an inheritance.

If there be a famine, or pestilence, or drought, or blight, or locusts, or caterpillars in the land, or his enemy in the land besiege his gates, or any plague or disease: 38. Then whosoever shall ask and beseech, whether it be men or thy people Israel, when they perceive their plague, every man in his heart shall spread out his hands unto this house, 39. Then hear thou in heaven, in the place where thou dwellest, and be gracious, and provide that thou mayest give every man according as he hath walked, as thou knowest his heart: for thou only knowest the
