Solomon Built The Temple

Solomon became Israel`s most magnificent king. He built the

marvelous Temple and God`s favor was with him. When he had

finished the Temple he made sacrifices and said a public

prayer:

I Kings 8:27-30 "But will God indeed dwell on the earth?

Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain

You. How much less this temple which I have built! "Yet

regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O

LORD my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which

Your servant is praying before You today: "that Your eyes

may be open toward this temple night and day, toward the

place of which You said, `My name shall be there,` that You

may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this

place. "And may You hear the supplication of Your servant

and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this

place. Hear in heaven Your dwelling place; and when You

hear, forgive. . ."
