GOD’S WORD Translation

Solomon Blesses the People

⁵⁴ When Solomon finished praying this prayer for mercy to the Lord, he stood in front of the Lord’s altar, where he had been kneeling with his hands stretched out toward heaven. ⁵⁵ Then he stood and in a loud voice blessed the entire assembly of Israel, ⁵⁶ “Thanks be to the Lord! He has given his people Israel rest, as he had promised. None of the good promises he made through his servant Moses has failed to come true.
