2 Chronicles 6:1-21

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}
