2 Chronicles 7:7-22

71Then SolomonH8010 consecratedH6942 the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, for thereH8033 he offeredH6213 the burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 of the peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 becauseH3588 the bronzeH5178 altarH4196 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 was not ableH3201 to containH3557 the burntH5930 offeringH5930, the grain offeringH4503 and the fatH2459.

8So 2SolomonH8010 observedH6213 the feastH2282 at that timeH6256 for sevenH7651 daysH3117, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him, a veryH3966 greatH1419 assemblyH6951 who came from the entranceH935 of HamathH2574 to the 3brookH5158 of EgyptH4714. 9On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they heldH6213 4a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116, for the dedicationH2598 of the altarH4196 they observedH6213 sevenH7651 daysH3117 and the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117. 10Then on the twenty-thirdH6242H7969 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 to their tentsH168, rejoicingH8056 and happyH2896 of heartH3820 becauseH5921 of the goodnessH2899 that the LordH3068 had shownH6213 to DavidH1732 and to SolomonH8010 and to His peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.

115Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and the king’sH4428 palaceH1004, and successfullyH6743 completedH6743 allH3605 that 6he had plannedH935H5921H3820 on doingH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and in his palaceH1004.

12Then the LordH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 at nightH3915 and saidH559 to him, “I have heardH8085 your prayerH8605 and 7have chosenH977 thisH2088 placeH4725 for Myself as a houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077. 138IfH2005 I shutH6113 up the heavensH8064 so that there is noH3808 rainH4306, or ifH2005 I commandH6680 the locustH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or ifH518 I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among My peopleH5971, 149and My peopleH5971 10whoH834 are calledH7121 by My nameH8034 humbleH3665 themselves and prayH6419 and seekH1245 My faceH6440 and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870, then I will hearH8085 from heavenH8064, will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403 and will healH7495 their landH776. 1511NowH6258 My eyesH5869 will be openH6605 and My earsH241 attentiveH7183 to the 12prayerH8605 offered in thisH2088 placeH4725. 16For 13nowH6258 I have chosenH977 and consecratedH6942 thisH2088 houseH1004 that My nameH8034 may be thereH8033 foreverH5704H5769, and My eyesH5869 and My heartH3820 will be thereH8033 perpetuallyH3605H3117. 17As for you, ifH518 you walkH1980 beforeH6440 Me as your fatherH1 DavidH1732 walkedH1980, even to doH6213 according to allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 you, and will keepH8104 My statutesH2706 and My ordinancesH4941, 18then I will establishH6965 your royalH4438 throneH3678 as I covenantedH3772 with your fatherH1 DavidH1732, sayingH559, ‘1415You shall not lackH3772 a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478.’

19“16But ifH518 you turnH7725 awayH7725 and forsakeH5800 My statutesH2708 and My commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, and goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipH7812 them, 2017then I will uprootH5428 you from My landH127 whichH834 I have givenH5414 18you, and thisH2088 houseH1004 whichH834 I have consecratedH6942 for My nameH8034 I will castH7993 out of My sightH6440 and I will makeH5414 it 19a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among allH3605 peoplesH5971. 21As for thisH2088 houseH1004, whichH834 was exaltedH5945, everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by it will be astonishedH8074 and sayH559, ‘20WhyH4100 has the LordH3068 doneH6213 thusH3602 to thisH2088 landH776 and to thisH2088 houseH1004?’ 22And they will sayH559, ‘BecauseH5921H834 21they forsookH5800 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1 whoH834 broughtH3318 them from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and they adoptedH2388 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipedH7812 them and servedH5647 them; thereforeH5921H3651 He has broughtH935 allH3605 thisH2088 adversityH7463 on them.’”
