BRAGADAYJAH 1008
Solomon concludes his prayer.
Continuing his supplication to the Lord, Solomon said, “For
thou did separate thy people Israel from among all the people of the earth, to
be thine inheritance as thou spoke by the hand of Moses, thy servant, when thou
brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt.” And it happened that when
Solomon had finished praying all those prayers and supplications unto the Lord,
he rose up from before the altar where he was praying on his knees with his
hands spread towards heaven. And he stood and blessed all the congregation of
Israel and said, “Blessed be the Lord that has given rest unto Israel according
to all your promises; and there has not failed one word of all His good promises
made by the hand of Moses His servant. The Lord our God be with us as He was
with our fathers, let him not leave us or forsake us. That He may incline our
hearts unto Him, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments, and His
statutes, and His judgments which He commanded our fathers. And let these my
words wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord be nigh unto the Lord
our God day and night, that He maintain the cause of His[i] servant
and the cause of His people Israel at all times as the matter might require.
That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there
is none else. Let your heart, therefore,
be perfect with the Lord our God to walk in his statutes and to keep his
commandments as of this day. And the
king and all Israel with him offered sacrifice before the Lord.
