Chap. VII.
Fire from heauen deuoureth the holocaustes, and glorie replenisheth the
Temple. 5. More sacrifices are offered, 8. and the Temple is dedicated, with
seven daies solemnitie, the eight day collection is made. 12. God signifieth
that he hath heard Salomons prayer. 17. conditionally (as it was made)
if they serue him, 19. otherwise he wil punish them.
1 And when Salomon had finished to poure out his
prayers, fyre descended from heauen, and deuoured the
holocaustes and victimes: and the maiestie of our Lord filled
the house.
2 Neither could the Priestes enter into the
Temple of our Lord, because the maiestie of our Lord had
filled the temple of our Lord.
3 Yea and al the children of
Israel sawe the fyre descending, and the glorie of our Lord
vpon the house: and falling flat on the earth vpon the pauement
paued with stone, they adored, and praysed our Lord:
Because he is good, because his mercie is for euer.
4 And
the king and al the people immolated victimes before our
Lord.
5 King Salomon therfore killed hostes, of oxen
twentie two thousand, of rammes an hundred twentie thousand:
and the king and al the people dedicated the house of
God.
6 And the Priestes stood in their offices: and the Leuites
with the instrumentes of the songues of our Lord,
which Dauid the king made to prayse our Lord: Because his
mercie is for euer, singing note the hymnes of Dauid by their
handes: moreouer the Priestes sounded with trumpettes
before them, and al Israel stood.
7 Salomon also sanctified
the middes of the court before the temple of our Lord: for he
had offered there the holocaustes, and the fatte of the pacifiques:
because the brasen altar, which he had made, could
not susteyne the holocaustes and the sacrifices and the fatte.
8 Salomon therfore made a solemnitie at that time seuen
daies, and al Israel with him, an assemblie verie great, from
the entrance of Emath to the Torrent of Aegypt.
9 And he
made in the eight day an assemblie, because he had dedicated
the altar seuen daies, and had celebrated the solemnitie seuen
daies.
10 Therfore in the three and twenteth day of the seuenth
moneth, he dismist the people to their tabernacles,

Salomon.
reioysing and being glad for the good, that our Lord had
done to Dauid, and Salomon, and Israel his people.
11 And
Salomon accomplished the house of our Lord, and the house
of the king, and al that he had disposed in his hart to do, in
the house of our Lord, and in his owne house, and he prospered.
12 And our Lord appeared to him by night, and sayd:
I haue heard thy prayer, and haue chosen this place to me
for a house of sacrifice.
13 If I shal shut heauen, and rayne fal
not, and shal bid and command the locust to deuoure the
land, and shal send pestilence into my people:
14 and my
people being conuerted, vpon whom my name is inuocated,
shal besech me, and seeke out my face, and shal doe penance
from their most wicked waies: I also wil heare from
heauen, and wil be propitious to their sinnes, and wil saue
their land.
15 Mine eies also shal be opened, and mine eares
erected to his prayer, that shal pray in this place.
16 For I
haue chosen, and haue sanctified this place, that my name
may be there for euer, and mine eies and my hart may remaine
there al daies.
17 Thou also if thou walke before me, as Dauid
thy father walked, and shalt doe according to al thinges,
which I haue commanded thee, and shalt keepe my iustices
and iudgementes:
18 I wil rayse vp the throne of thy kingdom,
as I promised to Dauid thy father, saying: There shal
not be taken away of thy stocke a man, that shal be prince in
Israel.
19 But if you shal be turned away, and shal forsake my
iustices, and my preceptes, which I haue proposed to you,
and going shal serue strange goddes, and adore them,
20 I
wil plucke you out of my land, which I haue geuen you: and
this house, which I haue sanctified to my name, I wil cast
away from my face, and wil deliuer it for a parable, and an
exemple to al peoples.
21 And this house shal be for a prouerbe
to al passengers, and they shal say being astonyshed: Why
hath the Lord done so to this land, and to this house?
22 And
they shal answer: Because they forsooke the Lord the God
of their fathers, who brought them out of the Land of
Aegypt, and tooke hold of strange goddes, and adored them,
and worshipped them: therfore are al these euils come vpon
them.
