And on the eighth day they had a holy meeting; the offerings for making the altar holy went on for seven days, and the feast for seven days.

וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֛וּ (וַֽ) va “and”

So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.

Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.

For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

וְהָי֨וּ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then I will make strong the seat of your kingdom, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be ruler in Israel.

וַהֲקִ֣ימוֹתִ֔י (וַ) va. “and”

But if you are turned away from me, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods, giving them worship:

Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples.

וּנְתַשְׁתִּ֗ים (וּ) u. “and”

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

וְאָמַ֗ר (וְ) ve. “and”

And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this

And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;

וַיִּ֜בֶן (וַ) va “and”

Their men who were still living in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not put an end to, these Solomon put to forced work, as is done to this day;

וַיַּעֲלֵ֤ם (וַ) va “and”

And he gave the divisions of the priests their places for their work, as ordered by his father David, and to the Levites he gave their work of praise and waiting on the priests, to do what was needed day by day; and he gave the door-keepers their places

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

וַיַּגֶּד־ (וַ) va “and”

And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

וַתֵּ֙רֶא֙ (וַ) va. “and”

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

וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va. “and”
