2 Chronicles 6:1 (AMP) Amplified Bibles

1 THEN SOLOMON said, The Lord has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness;
2 I have built You a house, in which the dark Holy of Holies seems a fitting abode for You, a place for You to dwell in forever.
3 And the king turned his face and blessed all the assembly of Israel, and they all stood.
4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, Who has fulfilled with His hands what He promised with His mouth to David my father, saying,
5 Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that My Name might be there, neither chose I any man to be a ruler over My people Israel;
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that My Name and the symbol of My presence might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the Name and renown of the Lord, the God of Israel.
8 But the Lord said to David my father, Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name and renown, you did well that it was in your heart.
9 Yet you shall not build the house, but your son, who shall be born to you--he shall build the house for My Name.
10 The Lord therefore has performed His word that He has spoken, for I have risen up in the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
11 In it have I put the ark the symbol of His presence, in which is the covenant of the Lord the Ten Commandments which He made with the people of Israel.
12 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread forth his hands.
13 For he had made a bronze scaffold, five cubits square and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; upon it he stood, and he knelt upon his knees before all the assembly of Israel and spread forth his hands toward heaven,
14 And said, O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like You in the heavens or in the earth, keeping covenant and showing mercy and loving-kindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts,
15 You Who have kept Your promises to my father David and fulfilled with Your hand what You spoke with Your mouth, as it is today.
16 Now therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, keep with Your servant David my father that which You promised him, saying, There shall not fail a man in My sight to sit on the throne of Israel, provided your children are careful to walk in My law as you, David, have walked before Me.
17 Now then, O Lord, God of Israel, let Your word to Your servant David be verified.
18 But will God actually dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built!
19 Yet have respect for the prayer of Your servant and for his supplication, O Lord my God, to listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant prays before You,
20 That Your eyes may be open upon this house day and night, toward the place in which You have said You would put Your Name and the symbol of your presence, to listen to and heed the prayer which Your servant prays facing this place.
21 So listen to and heed the requests of Your servant and Your people Israel which they shall make facing this place. Hear from Your dwelling place, heaven; and when You hear, forgive.
22 If a man sins against his neighbor, and he is required to take an oath, and the oath comes before Your altar in this house,
23 Then hear from heaven and do; and judge Your servants, requiting the wicked by bringing his conduct upon his own head, and justifying the uncompromisingly righteous by giving him according to his righteousness (his uprightness and right standing with God).
24 If Your people Israel have been defeated before the enemy because they have sinned against You, and shall return, confess Your name and You Yourself, and pray and make supplication before You in this house,
25 Then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel and bring them again to the land which You gave to them and their fathers.
26 When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, yet if they pray toward this place, confess your name and You Yourself, and turn from their sin when You afflict them,
27 Then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, all of Your people Israel, when You have taught them the good way in which they should walk. And send rain upon Your land which You have given to Your people for an inheritance.
28 If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, blight, mildew, locusts, or caterpillars, if their enemies besiege them in any of their cities, whatever plague or sickness there may be,
29 Then whatever prayer or supplication any man or all of Your people Israel shall make--each knowing his own affliction and his own sorrow and stretching out his hands toward this house--
30 Then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart You know; for You, You only, know men's hearts,
31 That they may fear You and walk in Your ways as long as they live in the land which You gave to our fathers.
32 Also concerning the stranger who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a far country for Your great name's sake and Your mighty power and Your outstretched arm--if he comes and prays toward this house,
33 Hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place, and do all for which the stranger calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You reverently and worshipfully, as do Your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by Your Name.
34 If Your people go out to war against their enemies by the way that You send them, and they pray to You facing this city Jerusalem which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your Name,
35 Then hear from heaven their prayer and supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 If they sin against You--for there is no man who does not sin--and You are angry with them and give them to enemies who take them captive to a land far or near;
37 Yet if they repent in the land to which they have been carried captive, and turn and pray there, saying, We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have dealt wickedly;
38 If they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of their captivity, and pray facing their land which You gave to their fathers and toward the city which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your Name;
39 Then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and supplications, and maintain their cause; and forgive Your people, who have sinned against You.
40 Now, O my God, I beseech You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer offered in this temple.
41 So now arise, O Lord God, and come into Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength and power. Let Your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let Your saints (Your zealous ones) rejoice in good and in Your goodness.
42 O Lord God, turn not away the face of me Your anointed one; earnestly remember Your good deeds, mercy, and steadfast love for David Your servant.
1 Then H227 ADV said H559 VQQ3MS Solomon H8010 MMS , The LORD H3068 EDS hath said H559 VQQ3MS that he would dwell H7931 in the thick darkness H6205 .
2 But I H589 W-PPRO-1MS have built H1129 a house H1004 CMS of habitation H2073 for thee , and a place H4349 for thy dwelling H3427 forever H5769 .
3 And the king H4428 D-NMS turned H5437 his face H6440 CMP-3MS , and blessed H1288 W-VNY3MS the whole H3605 NMS congregation H6951 of Israel H3478 : and all H3605 NMS the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478 stood H5975 .
4 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Blessed H1288 VWQ3MS be the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , who hath with his hands H3027 fulfilled H4390 VPQ3MS that which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS with his mouth H6310 B-CMS-3MS to H854 my father H1 CMS-1MS David H1732 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS ,
5 Since H4480 PREP the day H3117 D-AMS that H834 RPRO I brought forth my people H5971 out of the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 EFS I chose H977 no H3808 NADV city H5892 among all H3605 M-CMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to build H1129 a house H1004 NMS in , that my name H8034 might be H1961 there H8033 ADV ; neither H3808 W-NADV chose H977 I any man H376 to be H1961 a ruler H5057 NMS over H5921 PREP my people H5971 Israel H3478 LMS :
6 But I have chosen H977 Jerusalem H3389 , that my name H8034 might be H1961 there H8033 ADV ; and have chosen H977 David H1732 to be H1961 over H5921 PREP my people H5971 Israel H3478 LMS .
7 Now it was H1961 W-VQY3MS in H5973 PREP the heart H3824 of David H1732 my father H1 CMS-1MS to build H1129 a house H1004 NMS for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 LMS .
8 But the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 my father H1 CMS-1MS , Forasmuch H834 RPRO as it was H1961 VQQ3MS in H5973 PREP thine heart H3824 to build H1129 a house H1004 NMS for my name H8034 , thou didst well H2895 in that H3588 CONJ it was H1961 VQQ3MS in H5973 PREP thine heart H3824 :
9 Notwithstanding H7535 ADV thou H859 PPRO-2MS shalt not H3808 NADV build H1129 the house H1004 ; but H3588 CONJ thy son H1121 which shall come forth H3318 out of H4480 thy loins H2504 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS shall build H1129 the house H1004 D-NMS for my name H8034 .
10 The LORD H3068 EDS therefore hath performed H6965 his word H1697 that H834 RPRO he hath spoken H1696 : for I am risen up H6965 in the room H8478 NMS of David H1732 my father H1 CMS-1MS , and am set H3427 on H5921 PREP the throne H3678 of Israel H3478 , as H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS promised H1696 VPQ3MS , and have built H1129 the house H1004 D-NMS for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 LMS .
11 And in it H8033 ADV have I put H7760 the ark H727 , wherein H834 RPRO is the covenant H1285 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS , that H834 RPRO he made H3772 with H5973 PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 LMS .
12 And he stood H5975 before H6440 L-CMP the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 EDS in the presence of H5048 all H3605 NMS the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478 , and spread forth H6566 his hands H3709 :
13 For H3588 CONJ Solomon H8010 MMS had made H6213 VQQ3MS a brazen H5178 CFS scaffold H3595 , of five H2568 MFS cubits H520 long H753 , and five H2568 cubits H520 broad H7341 , and three H7969 MFS cubits H520 high H6967 , and had set H5414 it in the midst H8432 B-NMS of the court H5835 : and upon H5921 PREP-3MS it he stood H5975 W-VQY3MS , and kneeled down H1288 upon H5921 PREP-3MS his knees H1290 before H5048 all H3605 NMS the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478 , and spread forth H6566 his hands H3709 toward heaven H8064 D-NMP-3FS ,
14 And said H559 W-VQY3MS , O LORD H3068 EDS God H430 NAME-4MP of Israel H3478 , there is no H369 NPAR God H430 EDP like thee H3644 PREP-2MS in the heaven H8064 BD-NMP , nor in the earth H776 ; which keepest H8104 covenant H1285 D-NFS , and showest mercy H2617 unto thy servants H5650 , that walk H1980 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee with all H3605 B-CMS their hearts H3820 :
15 Thou which H834 RPRO hast kept H8104 with thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 CMS-1MS that which H834 RPRO thou hast promised H1696 him ; and spakest H1696 with thy mouth H6310 , and hast fulfilled H4390 it with thine hand H3027 , as it is this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 .
16 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , O LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , keep H8104 VQI2MS with thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 CMS-1MS that which H834 RPRO thou hast promised H1696 him , saying H559 L-VQFC , There shall not H3808 NADV fail H3772 VNI3MS thee a man H376 NMS in my sight H6440 to sit H3427 VQPMS upon H5921 PREP the throne H3678 of Israel H3478 ; yet so H7535 ADV that thy children H1121 CMP-2MS take heed H8104 to their way H1870 CMS-3MP to walk H1980 L-VQFC in my law H8451 , as H834 RPRO thou hast walked H1980 before H6440 L-CMP-1MS me .
17 Now H6258 W-ADV then , O LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , let thy word H1697 be verified H539 , which H834 RPRO thou hast spoken H1696 unto thy servant H5650 David H1732 .
18 But H3588 CONJ will God H430 EDP in very deed H552 dwell H3427 with H854 PREP men H120 D-NMS on H5921 PREP the earth H776 D-GFS ? behold H2009 IJEC , heaven H8064 NMP and the heaven H8064 of heavens H8064 D-NMD cannot H3808 NADV contain H3557 thee ; how much less H637 CONJ this H2088 D-PMS house H1004 D-NMS which H834 RPRO I have built H1129 !

40 Now H6258 ADV , my God H430 , let , I beseech thee H4994 IJEC , thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS be H1961 open H6605 , and let thine ears H241 be attent H7183 unto the prayer H8605 that is made in this H2088 D-PMS place H4725 D-NMS .

42 O LORD H3068 EDS God H430 EDP , turn not away H7725 the face H6440 CMP of thine anointed H4899 : remember H2142 the mercies H2617 of David H1732 thy servant H5650 .
