Discovery Box2 Chronicles 7:6-7 
Context7:6 The priests stood in their assigned spots, along with the Levites who had the musical instruments used for praising the Lord. 1 (These were the ones King David made for giving thanks to the Lord and which were used by David when he offered praise, saying, “Certainly his loyal love endures.”) 2 Opposite the Levites, 3 the priests were blowing the trumpets, while all Israel stood there. 7:7 Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard that is in front of the Lord’s temple. He offered burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, 4 and the fat from the peace offerings there, because the bronze altar that Solomon had made was too small to hold all these offerings. 5
2 Chronicles 8:11
Context8:11 Solomon moved Pharaoh’s daughter up from the City of David 6 to the palace he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the palace of King David of Israel, for the places where the ark of the Lord has entered are holy.”
2 Chronicles 15:2
Context15:2 He met 7 Asa and told him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin! The Lord is with you when you are loyal to him. 8 If you seek him, he will respond to you, 9 but if you reject him, he will reject you.
2 Chronicles 15:8
Context15:8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he was encouraged. 10 He removed the detestable idols from the entire land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had seized in the Ephraimite hill country. He repaired the altar of the Lord in front of the porch of the Lord’s temple. 11
2 Chronicles 22:9
Context22:9 He looked for Ahaziah, who was captured while hiding in Samaria. 12 They brought him to Jehu and then executed him.

2 Chronicles 23:14
Context23:14 Jehoiada the priest sent out the officers of the units of hundreds, who were in charge of the army, and ordered them, “Bring her outside the temple to the guards. 15 Put the sword to anyone who follows her.” The priest gave this order because he had decided she should not be executed in the Lord’s temple. 16
2 Chronicles 24:14
Context24:14 When they were finished, they brought the rest of the silver to the king and Jehoiada.

Throughout Jehoiada’s lifetime, burnt sacrifices were offered regularly in the Lord’s temple.
2 Chronicles 25:4
Context25:4 However, he did not execute their sons. He obeyed the Lord’s commandment as recorded in the law scroll of Moses, 17 “Fathers must not be executed for what their sons do, 18 and sons must not be executed for what their fathers do. 19 A man must be executed only for his own sin.” 20
2 Chronicles 28:13
Context28:13 They said to them, “Don’t bring those captives here! Are you planning on making us even more sinful and guilty before the Lord? 21 Our guilt is already great and the Lord is very angry at Israel.” 22

4 tc The Hebrew text omits reference to the grain offerings at this point, but note that they are included both in the list in the second half of the verse (see note on “offerings” at the end of this verse) and in the parallel account in 1 Kgs 8:64. The construction וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה (vÿ’et-hamminkhah; vav [ו] + accusative sign + noun with article; “grain offerings”) was probably omitted accidentally by homoioarcton. Note the וְאֶת (vÿ’et) that immediately follows.
