1 Kings 9:8-9 and this stately house shall be reduced to such a condition that every one who passeth by it will be astonished and will, with expressions of pity, say, Why hath the Lord dealt thus with this land and with this house?

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ and this stately house shall be reduced to such a condition that every one who passeth by it will be astonished and will, with expressions of pity, say, Why hath the Lord dealt thus with this land and with this house? ⁹ To which answer will be made, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of Egypt; out of the house of bondage; and in his stead chose strange gods, and worshipped and served them, therefore the Lord hath brought upon them this calamity. Then Solomon brought Pharao's daughter up out of the city of David to the house which he had built for himself.
