6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and ^aoffered a thousand burnt offerings on it.  ‡

8 And Solomon said to God: “You have shown great ^amercy to David my father, and have made me ^bking in his place.  ‡

9 Now, O Lord God, let Your promise to David my father be established, ^afor You have made me king over a people like the ^bdust of the earth in multitude.  ‡
