H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:

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

that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, My name shall be there; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.

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

When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them:

יִהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting [supplied: or] mildew, locust [supplied: or] caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be;

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

whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, [supplied: or] by all your people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

תִֽהְיֶה֙ tih.Yeh “it will belong”

that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.

לִהְי֨וֹת (הְי֨וֹת) h.Yot “be”

It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”

Yahweh our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us;

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

Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;

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

Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

וְהָיָ֤ה (הָיָ֤ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

It happened, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Yahweh, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

וַיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “it was”

Yahweh said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me: I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

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

then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

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

Though this house is so high, yet shall everyone who passes by it be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?

יִהְיֶ֣ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yahweh and the king's house

וַיְהִ֗י (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it was”

and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

הָי֣וּ ha.Yu “they belonged”

She came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.

הָיָ֖ה ha.Yah “it was”

Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hidden from the king which he didn't tell her.

הָיָ֤ה ha.Yah “it was”

and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.

הָ֥יָה Ha.yah “it was”

She said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.

הָיָ֣ה ha.Yah “it was”

Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore made he you king, to do justice and righteousness.

יְהִ֨י ye.Hi “may he be”

Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,

וַֽיְהִי֙ (יְהִי֙) y.Hi “it was”

Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

וַיְהִי־ (יְהִי) y.hi- “it belonged”

He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

וַיְהִי־ (יְהִי) y.hi- “it belonged”

For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.

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