51 And it was complete, all the work that King Solomon had made for the house
of YAHUVEH. And Solomon brought in the sanctified things of his father David:
The silver, and the gold, and the vessels he had put into the treasuries of the
house of YAHUVEH.
*~1 Kings Chapter 8 ~*
1 Then Solomon gathered the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the chief of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem,
that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of YAHUVEH out of the city of
David, which is Zion.
2 And all the men of Israel were gathered to King Solomon, in the month of
Ethanim, at the feast, which is the seventh month.
3 And all the elders of Israel came in, and the priests lifted up the ark,
4 and brought up the ark of YAHUVEH, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and
all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those the priests and the
Levites brought.
5 And King Solomon and all the company of Israel who had assembled to him were
with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted
or numbered for multitude.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of YAHUVEH to its place, to
the holy place of the house, into the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings
of the cherubs;
7 for the cherubs were spreading forth their wings to the place of the ark, and
the cherubs covered over the ark, and over its staves from above.
8 And they lengthened the staves, and the heads of the staves were seen from the
holy place on the front of the Holy of Holies, and were not seen outside; and
they are there to this day.
9 Nothing was in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in
Horeb, when YAHUVEH cut a covenant with the sons of Israel as they went out of
the land of Egypt.
10 And it happened as the priests went out from the Holy of Holies, that the
cloud filled the house of YAHUVEH,
11 and the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for
the glory of YAHUVEH had filled the house of YAHUVEH.
12 And Solomon said, YAHUVEH has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 Building I have built a house of loftiness for You, a settled place for You
to abide in forever.
14 And the king turned around his face and blessed the whole assembly of Israel;
and all the assembly of Israel was standing.
15 And he said, Blessed be YAHUVEH, Elohim of Israel, who spoke by His mouth
with my father David, and by his hand has fulfilled it, saying,
16 From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have
not chosen a city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house for My name
to be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.
17 And it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of
YAHUVEH, Elohim of Israel;
18 and YAHUVEH said to my father David, Because it has been in your heart to
build a house for My name, you have done well that it has been in your heart;
19 only, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall come out from
your loins, he shall build the house for My name.
20 And YAHUVEH has lifted up His Word that He spoke; for I have risen up instead
of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as YAHUVEH spoke, and have
built the house for the name of YAHUVEH the Elohim of Israel;
21 and set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of YAHUVEH which
He made with our fathers when He brought them out from the land of Egypt.
Luke 16:1-13
1 And He also said to His disciples, A certain man was rich; and he had a
steward, and this one was accused to him as squandering his wealth.
2 And his master called him and said to him, What is this that I hear concerning
you? Give to me an account of your stewardship, for you are not able any longer
to be a steward for me.
3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, for my Master is taking
away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 I know what I will do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they will
receive me into their houses.
5 And having called to him each one of the debtors of his Master, he said to the
first, How much do you owe my Master?
6 And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take your statements
and sitting quickly write fifty.
7 Then he said to another, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, a hundred
bushels of wheat. And he said to him, Take your statement and write eighty.
8 And the Master applauded the unrighteous steward, because he acted prudently.
For the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of light themselves are
in their generation.
9 And I also say to you, if you make for yourself friends from their wealth of
injustice, when it is consumed, they will receive you into their everlasting
habitations.
10 He faithful in the least is also faithful in much. And he unrighteous in the
least is also unrighteous in much.
11 Then if you were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust the
true to you?
12 And if you were not faithful in that of another, who will give to you that
which is yours?
13 No servant is able to serve two Masters; for either he will hate the one, and
he will love the other; or he will cling to one, and he will despise the other.
You are unable to serve YAHWEH and wealth.
