2 Chronicles 6:1-42

6:1
Then said
<0559> (8804)
Solomon
<08010>_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath said
<0559> (8804)
that he would dwell
<07931> (8800)
in the thick darkness
<06205>_.
6:2
But I have built
<01129> (8804)
an house
<01004>
of habitation
<02073>
for thee, and a place
<04349>
for thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)
for ever
<05769>_.
6:3
And the king
<04428>
turned
<05437> (8686)
his face
<06440>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
the whole congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and all the congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>
stood
<05975> (8802)_.
6:4
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
who hath with his hands
<03027>
fulfilled
<04390> (8765)
[that] which he spake
<01696> (8765)
with his mouth
<06310>
to my father
<01>
David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
6:5
Since the day
<03117>
that I brought forth
<03318> (8689)
my people
<05971>
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
I chose
<0977> (8804)
no city
<05892>
among all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
in, that my name
<08034>
might be there; neither chose
<0977> (8804)
I any man
<0376>
to be a ruler
<05057>
over my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_:
6:6
But I have chosen
<0977> (8799)
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
that my name
<08034>
might be there; and have chosen
<0977> (8799)
David
<01732>
to be over my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_.
6:7
Now it was in the heart
<03824>
of David
<01732>
my father
<01>
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
for the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
6:8
But the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
to David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
Forasmuch as it was in thine heart
<03824>
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
for my name
<08034>_,
thou didst well
<02895> (8689)
in that it was in thine heart
<03824>_:
6:9
Notwithstanding
<07535>
thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)
the house
<01004>_;
but thy son
<01121>
which shall come forth
<03318> (8802)
out of thy loins
<02504>_,
he shall build
<01129> (8799)
the house
<01004>
for my name
<08034>_.
6:10
The LORD
<03068>
therefore hath performed
<06965> (8686)
his word
<01697>
that he hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_:
for I am risen up
<06965> (8799)
in the room of David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
and am set
<03427> (8799)
on the throne
<03678>
of Israel
<03478>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
promised
<01696> (8765)_,
and have built
<01129> (8799)
the house
<01004>
for the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
6:11
And in it
<08033>
have I put
<07760> (8799)
the ark
<0727>_,
wherein [is] the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he made
<03772> (8804)
with the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
6:12
And he stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
the altar
<04196>
of the LORD
<03068>
in the presence of all the congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and spread forth
<06566> (8799)
his hands
<03709>_:
6:13
For Solomon
<08010>
had made
<06213> (8804)
a brasen
<05178>
scaffold
<03595>_,
of five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>
long
<0753>_,
and five
<02568>
cubits
<0520>
broad
<07341>_,
and three
<07969>
cubits
<0520>
high
<06967>_,
and had set
<05414> (8799)
it in the midst
<08432>
of the court
<05835>_:
and upon it he stood
<05975> (8799)_,
and kneeled down
<01288> (8799)
upon his knees
<01290>
before all the congregation
<06951>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and spread forth
<06566> (8799)
his hands
<03709>
toward heaven
<08064>_,
{long...: Heb. the length thereof, etc}
6:14
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[there is] no God
<0430>
like thee in the heaven
<08064>_,
nor in the earth
<0776>_;
which keepest
<08104> (8802)
covenant
<01285>_,
and [shewest] mercy
<02617>
unto thy servants
<05650>_,
that walk
<01980> (8802)
before
<06440>
thee with all their hearts
<03820>_:
6:15
Thou which hast kept
<08104> (8804)
with thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
my father
<01>
that which thou hast promised
<01696> (8765)
him; and spakest
<01696> (8762)
with thy mouth
<06310>_,
and hast fulfilled
<04390> (8765)
[it] with thine hand
<03027>_,
as [it is] this day
<03117>_.
6:16
Now therefore, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
keep
<08104> (8798)
with thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>
my father
<01>
that which thou hast promised
<01696> (8765)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
There shall not fail
<03772> (8735)
thee a man
<0376>
in my sight
<06440>
to sit
<03427> (8802)
upon the throne
<03678>
of Israel
<03478>_;
yet so
<07535>
that thy children
<01121>
take heed
<08104> (8799)
to their way
<01870>
to walk
<03212> (8800)
in my law
<08451>_,
as thou hast walked
<01980> (8804)
before
<06440>
me. {There...: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off}
6:17
Now then, O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
let thy word
<01697>
be verified
<0539> (8735)_,
which thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
unto thy servant
<05650>
David
<01732>_.
6:18
But will God
<0430>
in very deed
<0552>
dwell
<03427> (8799)
with men
<0120>
on the earth
<0776>_?
behold, heaven
<08064>
and the heaven
<08064>
of heavens
<08064>
cannot contain
<03557> (8770)
thee; how much less this house
<01004>
which I have built
<01129> (8804)_!
6:19
Have respect
<06437> (8804)
therefore to the prayer
<08605>
of thy servant
<05650>_,
and to his supplication
<08467>_,
O LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
to hearken
<08085> (8800)
unto the cry
<07440>
and the prayer
<08605>
which thy servant
<05650>
prayeth
<06419> (8693)
before
<06440>
thee:
6:20
That thine eyes
<05869>
may be open
<06605> (8803)
upon this house
<01004>
day
<03119>
and night
<03915>_,
upon the place
<04725>
whereof thou hast said
<0559> (8804)
that thou wouldest put
<07760> (8800)
thy name
<08034>
there; to hearken
<08085> (8800)
unto the prayer
<08605>
which thy servant
<05650>
prayeth
<06419> (8691)
toward this place
<04725>_.
{toward...: or, in this place}
6:21
Hearken
<08085> (8804)
therefore unto the supplications
<08469>
of thy servant
<05650>_,
and of thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
which they shall make
<06419> (8691)
toward this place
<04725>_:
hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)
place
<04725>_,
[even] from heaven
<08064>_;
and when thou hearest
<08085> (8804)_,
forgive
<05545> (8804)_.
{make: Heb. pray} {toward...: or, in this place}
6:22
If a man
<0376>
sin
<02398> (8799)
against his neighbour
<07453>_,
and an oath
<0423>
be laid
<05375> (8804)
upon him to make him swear
<0422> (8687)_,
and the oath
<0423>
come
<0935> (8804)
before
<06440>
thine altar
<04196>
in this house
<01004>_;
{and an oath...: Heb. and he require an oath of him}
6:23
Then hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from heaven
<08064>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)_,
and judge
<08199> (8804)
thy servants
<05650>_,
by requiting
<07725> (8687)
the wicked
<07563>_,
by recompensing
<05414> (8800)
his way
<01870>
upon his own head
<07218>_;
and by justifying
<06663> (8687)
the righteous
<06662>_,
by giving
<05414> (8800)
him according to his righteousness
<06666>_.
6:24
And if thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>
be put to the worse
<05062> (8735)
before
<06440>
the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
because they have sinned
<02398> (8799)
against thee; and shall return
<07725> (8804)
and confess
<03034> (8689)
thy name
<08034>_,
and pray
<06419> (8694)
and make supplication
<02603> (8694)
before
<06440>
thee in this house
<01004>_;
{be put...: or, be smitten} {in: or, toward}
6:25
Then hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from the heavens
<08064>_,
and forgive
<05545> (8804)
the sin
<02403>
of thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and bring them again
<07725> (8689)
unto the land
<0127>
which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
to them and to their fathers
<01>_.
6:26
When the heaven
<08064>
is shut up
<06113> (8736)_,
and there is no rain
<04306>_,
because they have sinned
<02398> (8799)
against thee; [yet] if they pray
<06419> (8694)
toward this place
<04725>_,
and confess
<03034> (8689)
thy name
<08034>_,
and turn
<07725> (8799)
from their sin
<02403>_,
when thou dost afflict
<06031> (8686)
them; {toward...: or, in this place}
6:27
Then hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from heaven
<08064>_,
and forgive
<05545> (8804)
the sin
<02403>
of thy servants
<05650>_,
and of thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
when thou hast taught
<03384> (8686)
them the good
<02896>
way
<01870>_,
wherein they should walk
<03212> (8799)_;
and send
<05414> (8804)
rain
<04306>
upon thy land
<0776>_,
which thou hast given
<05414> (8804)
unto thy people
<05971>
for an inheritance
<05159>_.
6:28
If there be dearth
<07458>
in the land
<0776>_,
if there be pestilence
<01698>_,
if there be blasting
<07711>_,
or mildew
<03420>_,
locusts
<0697>_,
or caterpillers
<02625>_;
if their enemies

besiege
<06887> (8686)
them in the cities
<08179>
of their land
<0776>_;
whatsoever sore
<05061>
or whatsoever sickness
<04245>
[there be]: {in the cities...: Heb. in the land of their gates}
6:29
[Then] what prayer
<08605>
[or] what supplication
<08467>
soever shall be made of any man
<0120>_,
or of all thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
when every one
<0376>
shall know
<03045> (8799)
his own sore
<05061>
and his own grief
<04341>_,
and shall spread forth
<06566> (8804)
his hands
<03709>
in this house
<01004>_:
{in: or, toward} {toward...: or, in this place}
6:30
Then hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from heaven
<08064>
thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)
place
<04349>_,
and forgive
<05545> (8804)_,
and render
<05414> (8804)
unto every man
<0376>
according unto all his ways
<01870>_,
whose heart
<03824>
thou knowest
<03045> (8799)_;
(for thou only knowest
<03045> (8804)
the hearts
<03824>
of the children
<01121>
of men
<0120>:)
6:31
That they may fear
<03372> (8799)
thee, to walk
<03212> (8800)
in thy ways
<01870>_,
so long as
<03117>
they live
<02416> <06440>
in the land
<0127>
which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
unto our fathers
<01>_.
{so long...: Heb. all the days which} {in the land: Heb. upon the face of the land}
6:32
Moreover concerning the stranger
<05237>_,
which is not of thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
but is come
<0935> (8804)
from a far
<07350>
country
<0776>
for thy great
<01419>
name's
<08034>
sake, and thy mighty
<02389>
hand
<03027>_,
and thy stretched out

and pray
<06419> (8694)
in this house
<01004>_;
{toward...: or, in this place}
6:33
Then hear
<08085> (8799)
thou from the heavens
<08064>_,
[even] from thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)
place
<04349>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
according to all that the stranger
<05237>
calleth
<07121> (8799)
to thee for; that all people
<05971>
of the earth
<0776>
may know

thy name
<08034>_,
and fear
<03372> (8800)
thee, as [doth] thy people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and may know
<03045> (8800)
that this house
<01004>
which I have built
<01129> (8804)
is called
<07121> (8738)
by thy name
<08034>_.
{this...: Heb. thy name is called upon this house}
6:34
If thy people
<05971>
go out
<03318> (8799)
to war
<04421>
against their enemies
<0341> (8802)
by the way
<01870>
that thou shalt send
<07971> (8799)
them, and they pray
<06419> (8694)
unto thee toward
<01870>
this city
<05892>
which thou hast chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
and the house
<01004>
which I have built
<01129> (8804)
for thy name
<08034>_;
6:35
Then hear
<08085> (8804)
thou from the heavens
<08064>
their prayer
<08605>
and their supplication
<08467>_,
and maintain
<06213> (8804)
their cause
<04941>_.
{cause: or, right}
6:36
If they sin
<02398> (8799)
against thee, (for [there is] no man
<0120>
which sinneth
<02398> (8799)
not,) and thou be angry
<0599> (8804)
with them, and deliver
<05414> (8804)
them over before
<06440>
[their] enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and they carry them away
<07617> (8804)
captives
<07617> (8802)
unto a land
<0776>
far off
<07350>
or near
<07138>_;
{they carry them away captives: Heb. they that take them captives carry them away}
6:37
Yet [if] they bethink
<07725> (8689) <03824>
themselves in the land
<0776>
whither they are carried captive
<07617> (8738)_,
and turn
<07725> (8804)
and pray
<02603> (8694)
unto thee in the land
<0776>
of their captivity
<07628>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
we have done amiss
<05753> (8689)_,
and have dealt wickedly
<07561> (8804)_;
{bethink...: Heb. bring back to their heart}
6:38
If they return
<07725> (8804)
to thee with all their heart
<03820>
and with all their soul
<05315>
in the land
<0776>
of their captivity
<07628>_,
whither they have carried them captives
<07617> (8804)_,
and pray
<06419> (8694)
toward
<01870>
their land
<0776>_,
which thou gavest
<05414> (8804)
unto their fathers
<01>_,
and [toward] the city
<05892>
which thou hast chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
and toward the house
<01004>
which I have built
<01129> (8804)
for thy name
<08034>_:
6:39
Then hear
<08085> (8804)
thou from the heavens
<08064>_,
[even] from thy dwelling
<03427> (8800)
place
<04349>_,

<08605>
and their supplications
