1 Kings 8:25

so that thy children take heed In modern English -so that" = -if only," -provided that," is not common, but was so when the A.V. was made. Cf. Shakespeare, All's Well, ii. 4. 20, "So thatyou had her wrinkles, and I her money, I would she did as you say." See also Richard II. iii. 4. 102. The R.V. has the modern - if only " and the LXX. represents the sense by πλὴν ἐάν.
