D. THE BENEDICTION

And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this

prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of

the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward

heaven. And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a

loud voice, saying, "Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his

people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed

one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his

servant. The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let

him not leave us, nor forsake us: that he may incline our hearts unto

him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his

statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers."

And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the

Lord.
