H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name;

הָיָה֙ ha.Yah “it was”הָיָ֖ה ha.Yah “it was”

That your eyes may be open to this house night and day, to this place of which you have said, My name will be there; hearing the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

לִהְיוֹת֩ (הְיוֹת֩) h.yOt “be”יִהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

יִהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

If there is no food in the land, or if there is disease, or if the fruits of the earth are damaged through heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers; whatever trouble, whatever disease there may be:

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “it will be”יִ֠הְיֶה Yih.yeh “it will be”יִהְיֶ֔ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

תִֽהְיֶה֙ tih.Yeh “it will belong”

Let your eyes be open to your servant's prayer for grace and to the prayer of your people Israel, hearing them when their cry comes to you.

לִהְי֨וֹת (הְי֨וֹת) h.Yot “be”

Then Solomon, after making all these prayers and requests for grace to the Lord, got up from his knees before the altar of the Lord, where his hands had been stretched out in prayer to heaven;

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”

Now may the Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him never go away from us or give us up;

יְהִ֨י ye.Hi “may he be”הָיָ֖ה ha.Yah “he was”

And may these my words, the words of my prayer to the Lord, be before the Lord our God day and night, so that he may see right done to his servant and to his people Israel, day by day as we have need.

וְיִֽהְי֨וּ (יִֽהְי֨וּ) yih.Yu “may they be”

Then let your hearts be without sin before the Lord our God, walking in his laws and keeping his orders as at this day.

וְהָיָ֤ה (הָיָ֤ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;

וַיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “it was”

And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

וְהָי֨וּ (הָי֨וּ) ha.Yu “they will be”

Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.

וְהָיָ֧ה (הָיָ֧ה) ha.Yah “it will become”

And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house,

וַיְהִ֗י (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it was”

And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

הָי֣וּ ha.Yu “they belonged”

And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

הָיָ֖ה ha.Yah “it was”

And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.

הָיָ֤ה ha.Yah “it was”

And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

הָ֥יָה Ha.yah “it was”

And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.

הָיָ֣ה ha.Yah “it was”

May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness.

יְהִ֨י ye.Hi “may he be”

Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

וַֽיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “it was”

And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

וַיְהִי־ (יְהִי) y.hi- “it belonged”

He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away.

וַיְהִי־ (יְהִי) y.hi- “it belonged”

For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.

וַיְהִ֗י (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it was”הָיָ֨ה ha.Yah “it was”
