2 Chronicles 6:1-41

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

whatsoever sore
<05061>

or whatsoever sickness

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

his hands
<03709>

in this house
<01004>_:

{in: or, toward} {toward...: or, in this place}

6:30

Then hear
<08085> (8799)

<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

country

for thy great

sake, and thy mighty

6:33

Then hear

place
<04349>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

according to all that the stranger

is called

by thy name
<08034>_.

{this...: Heb. thy name is called upon this house}

6:34

If thy people
<05971>

to war
<04421>

against their enemies
<0341> (8802)

by the way

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 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

to thee with all their heart
<03820>

and with all their soul

<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
