1 Kings 8:59
Verse 59 of 66. The 8th of 22 chapters in 1 Kings, in History.
55He stood and blessed all the assembly 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 Moses his servant.
57May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us,
58that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires;
60that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD himself is God. There is no one else.
61“Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”
62The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
63Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the LORD’s house.
