Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house. 1Ki 18:381Ch 21:26Lev 9:23-241Ki 18:24Ezk 43:5Ezk 44:4Gen 15:17Mal 3:1-2 The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house. Rev 15:82Ch 5:14Exo 24:17Isa 6:5 All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, 2Ch 5:132Ch 20:21Heb 7:24-25Luk 1:50Ezr 3:11Isa 63:7Exo 4:31Psa 136:1-26
“For he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever!”
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. 1Ki 8:62-63 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house. Jhn 10:222Ch 30:24Ezk 45:171Ch 29:211Ki 8:62-632Ch 1:62Ch 15:112Ch 2:4 The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood. 2Ch 5:121Ch 15:16-212Ch 7:31Ch 13:81Ch 15:241Ch 16:341Ch 16:39-421Ch 16:4-6
Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat. 1Ki 8:64-66Heb 13:10-122Ch 36:142Ch 4:1Num 16:37-38
So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt. Gen 15:181Ki 8:651Ki 4:21-252Ch 30:13Amo 6:14Deu 16:13-15Jhn 7:2Jhn 7:27-39
On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. Lev 23:361Ki 8:652Ch 30:23Deu 16:8Jol 1:14Neh 8:18 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people. 1Ki 8:66Psa 100:22Ch 29:362Ch 30:262Ch 6:41Act 16:34Act 2:46Deu 12:12
Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house. 1Ki 9:1-92Ch 2:1Ecc 2:10-11Ecc 2:4
Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice. Gen 17:11Ki 9:22Ch 1:72Ch 7:161Jn 5:14-152Ki 20:5Act 10:31Deu 12:11
“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people, 2Ch 6:26-28Deu 11:17Rev 11:6Rev 3:72Sa 24:13-15Exo 10:4-6Ezk 14:19-21Job 12:14 if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Lam 3:40-41Isa 55:6-7Jas 4:9-10Pro 28:132Ch 6:37-39Deu 4:29-30Jer 33:62Ch 33:12-13 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place. 1Pe 3:122Ch 6:402Ch 6:20Neh 1:6Deu 11:12Psa 65:2Psa 130:2 For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually. 2Ch 7:152Ch 7:122Ch 6:5-61Ki 9:32Ch 6:20Col 2:9Jhn 2:19-212Ch 33:4-7
“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances, 1Ki 11:38Deu 4:40Ezk 36:27Zec 3:71Ch 28:91Ki 2:31Ki 3:141Ki 8:25 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’ 2Ch 6:162Sa 7:13-16Jer 33:20-211Ki 9:5Jer 33:25-26Psa 132:11-12Psa 89:28-40
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, Deu 28:15Lev 26:14Lev 26:33-461Ch 28:91Ki 11:4-81Ki 9:6-71Sa 12:25Deu 28:36-68 then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 2Ki 17:20Deu 28:371Ki 14:151Ki 9:7Deu 29:28Jer 24:9Jer 45:4Jer 31:28 This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’ Jer 22:8-9Jer 16:10-12Jer 19:81Ki 9:8-92Ch 29:8Deu 29:24-28Jer 13:22Jer 22:28 They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’” Dan 9:12Lam 4:13-152Ch 36:17Ezk 14:23Ezk 36:17-20Jdg 2:12-13Jer 1:16Lam 2:16-17
