King Solomon stood upon a brazen scaffold before the altar, and blessed the people. He then knelt down, and, with his hands raised upward, poured forth earnest and solemn prayer to God, while the congregation were bowed with their faces to the ground. After Solomon had ended his prayer, a miraculous fire came from Heaven and consumed the sacrifice. {1SP 414.1}

Kong Salomon stod bag en talerstol af kobber, og velsignede folket. Han knælede da ned, og rakte sine hænder opad, og udgød alvorlig og højtidelig bøn til Gud, medens forsamlingen stod bøjet med deres ansigter mod jorden. Efter at Salomon havde afsluttet sin bøn, kom en mirakuløs ild ned fra himlen og fortærede offeret.
