2 Chronicles 7:1-14

7:1

Now when Solomon
<08010>

had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of praying
<06419> (8692)_,

the fire
<0784>

came down
<03381> (8804)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

the burnt offering
<05930>

and the sacrifices
<02077>_;

and the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

filled
<04390> (8804)

the house
<01004>_.

7:2

And the priests
<03548>

could
<03201> (8804)

not enter
<0935> (8800)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

because the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

had filled
<04390> (8804)

the LORD'S
<03068>

house
<01004>_.

7:3

And when all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

saw
<07200> (8802)

how the fire
<0784>

came down
<03381> (8800)_,

and the glory
<03519>

of the LORD
<03068>

upon the house
<01004>_,

they bowed
<03766> (8799)

themselves with their faces
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>

upon the pavement
<07531>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_,

and praised
<03034> (8687)

the LORD
<03068>_,

[saying], For [he is] good
<02896>_;

for his mercy
<02617>

[endureth] for ever
<05769>_.

7:4

Then the king
<04428>

and all the people
<05971>

offered
<02076> (8802)

sacrifices
<02077>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

7:5

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

offered
<02076> (8799)

a sacrifice
<02077>

of twenty
<06242>

and two
<08147>

thousand
<0505>

oxen
<01241>_,

and an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_:

so the king
<04428>

and all the people
<05971>

dedicated
<02596> (8799)

the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_.

7:6

And the priests
<03548>

waited
<05975> (8802)

on their offices
<04931>_:

the Levites
<03881>

also with instruments
<03627>

of musick
<07892>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

had made
<06213> (8804)

to praise
<03034> (8687)

the LORD
<03068>_,

because his mercy
<02617>

[endureth] for ever
<05769>_,

when David
<01732>

praised
<01984> (8763)

by their ministry
<03027>_;

and the priests
<03548>

sounded trumpets
<02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764)

before them, and all Israel
<03478>

stood
<05975> (8802)_.

{by their...: Heb. by their hand}

7:7

Moreover Solomon
<08010>

hallowed
<06942> (8762)

the middle
<08432>

of the court
<02691>

that [was] before
<06440>

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

for there he offered
<06213> (8804)

burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and the fat
<02459>

of the peace offerings
<08002>_,

because the brasen
<05178>

altar
<04196>

which Solomon
<08010>

had made
<06213> (8804)

was not able
<03201> (8804)

to receive
<03557> (8687)

the burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and the meat offerings
<04503>_,

and the fat
<02459>_.

7:8

Also at the same time
<06256>

Solomon
<08010>

kept
<06213> (8799)

the feast
<02282>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

and all Israel
<03478>

with him, a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

congregation
<06951>_,

from the entering in
<0935> (8800)

of Hamath
<02574>

unto the river
<05158>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

7:9

And in the eighth
<08066>

day
<03117>

they made
<06213> (8799)

a solemn assembly
<06116>_:

for they kept
<06213> (8804)

the dedication
<02598>

of the altar
<04196>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

and the feast
<02282>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_.

{a solemn...: Heb. a restraint}

7:10

And on the three
<07969>

and twentieth
<06242>

day
<03117>

of the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>

he sent
<07971> (0)

the people
<05971>

away
<07971> (8765)

into their tents
<0168>_,

glad
<08056>

and merry
<02896>

in heart
<03820>

for the goodness
<02896>

that the LORD
<03068>

had shewed
<06213> (8804)

unto David
<01732>_,

and to Solomon
<08010>_,

and to Israel
<03478>

his people
<05971>_.

7:11

Thus Solomon
<08010>

finished
<03615> (8762)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_:

and all that came
<0935> (8802)

into Solomon's
<08010>

heart
<03820>

to make
<06213> (8800)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and in his own house
<01004>_,

he prosperously effected
<06743> (8689)_.

7:12

And the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

to Solomon
<08010>

by night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I have heard
<08085> (8804)

thy prayer
<08605>_,

and have chosen
<0977> (8804)

this place
<04725>

to myself for an house
<01004>

of sacrifice
<02077>_.

7:13

If
<02005>

I shut up
<06113> (8799)

heaven
<08064>

that there be no rain
<04306>_,

or if I command
<06680> (8762)

the locusts
<02284>

to devour
<0398> (8800)

the land
<0776>_,

or if I send
<07971> (8762)

pestilence
<01698>

among my people
<05971>_;

7:14

If my people
<05971>_,

which are called
<07121> (8738)

by my name
<08034>_,

shall humble
<03665> (8735)

themselves, and pray
<06419> (8691)_,

and seek
<01245> (8762)

my face
<06440>_,

and turn
<07725> (8799)

from their wicked
<07451>

ways
<01870>_;

then will I hear
<08085> (8799)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and will forgive
<05545> (8799)

their sin
<02403>_,

and will heal
<07495> (8799)

their land
<0776>_.

{which...: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
