2 Chronicles 7:6-22

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}

7:15

Now mine eyes
<05869>

shall be open
<06605> (8803)_,

and mine ears
<0241>

attent
<07183>

unto the prayer
<08605>

[that is made] in this place
<04725>_.

{unto...: Heb. to the prayer of this place}

7:16

For now have I chosen
<0977> (8804)

and sanctified
<06942> (8689)

this house
<01004>_,

that my name
<08034>

may be there for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_:

and mine eyes
<05869>

and mine heart
<03820>

shall be there perpetually
<03117>_.

7:17

And as for thee, if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)

before
<06440>

me, as David
<01732>

thy father
<01>

walked
<01980> (8804)_,

and do
<06213> (8800)

according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee, and shalt observe
<08104> (8799)

my statutes
<02706>

and my judgments
<04941>_;

7:18

Then will I stablish
<06965> (8689)

the throne
<03678>

of thy kingdom
<04438>_,

according as I have covenanted
<03772> (8804)

with David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

There shall not fail
<03772> (8735)

thee a man
<0376>

[to be] ruler
<04910> (8802)

in Israel
<03478>_.

{There...: Heb. There shall not be cut off to thee}

7:19

But if ye turn away
<07725> (8799)_,

and forsake
<05800> (8804)

my statutes
<02708>

and my commandments
<04687>_,

which I have set
<05414> (8804)

before
<06440>

you, and shall go
<01980> (8804)

and serve
<05647> (8804)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and worship
<07812> (8694)

them;

7:20

Then will I pluck them up by the roots
<05428> (8804)

out of my land
<0127>

which I have given
<05414> (8804)

them; and this house
<01004>_,

which I have sanctified
<06942> (8689)

for my name
<08034>_,

will I cast out
<07993> (8686)

of my sight
<06440>_,

and will make
<05414> (8799)

it [to be] a proverb
<04912>

and a byword
<08148>

among all nations
<05971>_.

7:21

And this house
<01004>_,

which is high
<05945>_,

shall be an astonishment
<08074> (8799)

to every one that passeth
<05674> (8802)

by it; so that he shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Why hath the LORD
<03068>

done
<06213> (8804)

thus unto this land
<0776>_,

and unto this house
<01004>_?

7:22

And it shall be answered
<0559> (8804)_,

Because they forsook
<05800> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_,

which brought them forth
<03318> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and laid hold
<02388> (8686)

on other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

them, and served
<05647> (8799)

them: therefore hath he brought
<0935> (8689)

all this evil
<07451>

upon them.
