2 Chronicles 7

Revised Version 1895

1NowH3519 when SolomonH8010 had madeH6419 an endH3615 of prayingH6419, the fireH784 cameH3381 downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 the burntH5930 offering and the sacrificesH2077; and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004. 2And the priestsH3548 couldH3201 notH3808 enterH935 intoH413 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, becauseH3588 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004. 3And allH3605 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 lookedH7200 on, when the fireH784 cameH3381 downH3381, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 was uponH5921 the houseH1004; and they bowedH7812 themselvesH7812 with their facesH639 to the groundH776 uponH5921 the pavementH7531, and worshipped, and gaveH3034 thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068, saying, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH3068 endureth for everH5769. 4Then the kingH4428 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. 5And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 offeredH2076 a sacrificeH2077 of twentyH6242 and twoH8147 thousandH505 oxenH1241, and an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 sheepH6629. SoH853 the kingH4428 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 dedicatedH2596 the houseH1004 of GodH430. 6And the priestsH3548 stoodH5975, accordingH5921 to their officesH4931; the LevitesH3881 also with instrumentsH3627 of musicH7892 of the LORDH3068, whichH834 DavidH1732 the kingH4428 had madeH6213 to giveH3034 thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068, for his mercyH3068 endureth for everH5769, when DavidH1732 praisedH1984 by their ministry: and the priestsH3548 soundedH2690 trumpetsH2690 beforeH5048 them; and allH3605 IsraelH3478 stoodH5975. 7Moreover SolomonH8010 hallowed the middleH8432 of the courtH2691 that was beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; for there he offered the burntH5930 offeringsH8002, and the fatH2459 of the peaceH8002 offeringsH8002: becauseH3588 the brasen altarH4196 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 was notH3808 ableH3201 to receive the burntH5930 offering, and the mealH4503 offering, and the fatH2459. 8SoH6213 SolomonH8010 heldH6213 the feastH2282 at that time sevenH7651 daysH3117, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him, a veryH3966 greatH1419 congregationH6951, from the enteringH935 in of HamathH2574 unto the brookH5158 of EgyptH4714. 9And on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 they heldH6213 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116: for they keptH6213 the dedicationH2598 of the altarH4196 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117. 10And on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 mouth he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971 unto their tentsH168, joyfulH8056 and gladH8056 of heartH3820 for the goodness that the LORDH3068 had shewed unto DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010, and to IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971. 11Thus SolomonH8010 finishedH3615 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king’sH4428 houseH1004: and allH3605 that cameH935 intoH935 Solomon’sH8010 heartH3820 to makeH6213 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and in his own houseH1004, he prosperously effected. 12And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 by nightH3915, and saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, and have chosenH977 this placeH4725 to myself for an houseH1004 of sacrificeH2077. 13IfH518 I shutH6113 upH5921 heavenH8064 that there be noH3808 rainH4306, or ifH518 I commandH6680 the locustH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or ifH518 I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among my peopleH5971; 14ifH834 my peopleH5971, whichH834 are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, shall humbleH3665 themselvesH7451, and prayH6419, and seekH1245 my faceH6440, and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870; then will I hearH8085 from heavenH8064, and will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403, and will healH7495 their landH776. 15NowH6258 mine eyesH5869 shall be openH6605, and mine earsH241 attent, unto the prayerH8605 that is madeH1961 in this placeH4725. 16For nowH6258 have I chosenH977 and hallowed this houseH1004, that my nameH8034 may be there for everH5769: and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH5769. 17And as for thee, ifH518 thou wilt walkH1980 beforeH6440 meH6440 as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, and doH6213 accordingH4941 to allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 thee, and wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941; 18then I will establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4438, accordingH376 as I covenantedH3772 with DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall notH3808 failH3772 thee a manH376 to be rulerH4910 in IsraelH3478. 19But ifH518 ye turnH7725 awayH7725, and forsakeH5800 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I have setH5414 beforeH6440 youH859, and shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them: 20then will I pluckH5428 them upH5921 by the roots outH6440 of my landH127 whichH834 I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, whichH834 I have hallowed for my nameH8034, will I castH7993 outH6440 of my sightH6440, and I will makeH5414 it a proverbH4912 and a bywordH4912 among allH3605 peoplesH5971. 21And this houseH1004, whichH834 is soH6213 high, everyH3605 one that passeth by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall sayH559, WhyH4100 hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thusH3602 unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004? 22And they shall answerH559, BecauseH5921 they forsook the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, whichH834 broughtH935 them forthH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laidH2388 holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshipped them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath he broughtH935 allH3605 this evilH7451 uponH5921 them.
