2 Chronicles 6:29 (KJV) King James Version

1 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
4 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an 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 might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
8 But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:
9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
13 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,
14 And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
15 Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
20 That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
21 Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;
23 Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
24 And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;
25 Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
26 When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;
27 Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.
28 If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:
29 Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
30 Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)
31 That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
32 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
33 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
34 If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;
35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;
37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
39 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.
40 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
1 Then H227 said H559 Solomon, H8010 The LORD H3068 hath said H559 that he would dwell H7931 in the thick darkness. H6205
2 But I H589 have built H1129 a house H1004 of habitation H2073 for thee , and a place H4349 for thy dwelling H3427 forever. H5769
3 And the king H4428 turned H5437 H853 his face, H6440 and blessed H1288 H853 the whole H3605 congregation H6951 of Israel: H3478 and all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478 stood. H5975
4 And he said, H559 Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 who hath with his hands H3027 fulfilled H4390 that which H834 he spoke H1696 with his mouth H6310 to H854 my father H1 David, H1732 saying, H559
5 Since H4480 the day H3117 that H834 I brought forth H3318 H853 my people H5971 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 I chose H977 no H3808 city H5892 among all H4480 H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to build H1129 a house H1004 in , that my name H8034 might be H1961 there; H8033 neither H3808 chose H977 I any man H376 to be H1961 a ruler H5057 over H5921 my people H5971 Israel: H3478
6 But I have chosen H977 Jerusalem, H3389 that my name H8034 might be H1961 there; H8033 and have chosen H977 David H1732 to be H1961 over H5921 my people H5971 Israel. H3478
7 Now it was H1961 in H5973 the heart H3824 of David H1732 my father H1 to build H1129 a house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478
8 But the LORD H3068 said H559 to H413 David H1732 my father, H1 Forasmuch H3588 H834 as it was H1961 in H5973 thine heart H3824 to build H1129 a house H1004 for my name, H8034 thou didst well H2895 in that H3588 it was H1961 in H5973 thine heart: H3824
9 Notwithstanding H7535 thou H859 shalt not H3808 build H1129 the house; H1004 but H3588 thy son H1121 which shall come forth H3318 out of H4480 thy loins, H2504 he H1931 shall build H1129 the house H1004 for my name. H8034
10 The LORD H3068 therefore hath performed H6965 H853 his word H1697 that H834 he hath spoken: H1696 for I am risen up H6965 in the room H8478 of David H1732 my father, H1 and am set H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of Israel, H3478 as H834 the LORD H3068 promised, H1696 and have built H1129 the house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478
11 And in it H8033 have I put H7760 H853 the ark, H727 wherein H834 H8033 is the covenant H1285 of the LORD, H3068 that H834 he made H3772 with H5973 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
12 And he stood H5975 before H6440 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 in the presence of H5048 all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel, H3478 and spread forth H6566 his hands: H3709
13 For H3588 Solomon H8010 had made H6213 a brazen H5178 scaffold, H3595 of five H2568 cubits H520 long, H753 and five H2568 cubits H520 broad, H7341 and three H7969 cubits H520 high, H6967 and had set H5414 it in the midst H8432 of the court: H5835 and upon H5921 it he stood, H5975 and kneeled down H1288 upon H5921 his knees H1290 before H5048 all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel, H3478 and spread forth H6566 his hands H3709 toward heaven, H8064
14 And said, H559 O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 there is no H369 God H430 like thee H3644 in the heaven, H8064 nor in the earth; H776 which keepest H8104 covenant, H1285 and showest mercy H2617 unto thy servants, H5650 that walk H1980 before H6440 thee with all H3605 their hearts: H3820
15 Thou which H834 hast kept H8104 with thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 H853 that which H834 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 day. H3117
16 Now H6258 therefore , O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 keep H8104 with thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 H853 that which H834 thou hast promised H1696 him, saying, H559 There shall not H3808 fail H3772 thee a man H376 in my sight H4480 H6440 to sit H3427 upon H5921 the throne H3678 of Israel; H3478 yet so H7535 that thy children H1121 take heed H8104 H853 to their way H1870 to walk H1980 in my law, H8451 as H834 thou hast walked H1980 before H6440 me.
17 Now H6258 then , O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 let thy word H1697 be verified, H539 which H834 thou hast spoken H1696 unto thy servant H5650 David. H1732
18 But H3588 will God H430 in very deed H552 dwell H3427 with H854 men H120 on H5921 the earth H776 ? behold, H2009 heaven H8064 and the heaven H8064 of heavens H8064 cannot H3808 contain H3557 thee ; how much less H637 this H2088 house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 !
19 Have respect H6437 therefore to H413 the prayer H8605 of thy servant, H5650 and to H413 his supplication, H8467 O LORD H3068 my God, H430 to hearken H8085 unto H413 the cry H7440 and the prayer H8605 which H834 thy servant H5650 prayeth H6419 before H6440 thee:
20 That thine eyes H5869 may be H1961 open H6605 upon H413 this H2088 house H1004 day H3119 and night, H3915 upon H413 the place H4725 whereof H834 thou hast said H559 that thou wouldest put H7760 thy name H8034 there; H8033 to hearken H8085 unto H413 the prayer H8605 which H834 thy servant H5650 prayeth H6419 toward H413 this H2088 place. H4725
21 Hearken H8085 therefore unto H413 the supplications H8469 of thy servant, H5650 and of thy people H5971 Israel, H3478 which H834 they shall make H6419 toward H413 this H2088 place: H4725 hear H8085 thou H859 from thy dwelling H3427 place H4480 H4725 , even from H4480 heaven; H8064 and when thou hearest, H8085 forgive. H5545
22 If H518 a man H376 sin H2398 against his neighbor, H7453 and an oath H423 be laid H5375 upon him to make him swear, H422 and the oath H423 come H935 before H6440 thine altar H4196 in this H2088 house; H1004
23 Then hear H8085 thou H859 from H4480 heaven, H8064 and do, H6213 and judge H8199 H853 thy servants, H5650 by requiting H7725 the wicked, H7563 by recompensing H5414 his way H1870 upon his own head; H7218 and by justifying H6663 the righteous, H6662 by giving H5414 him according to his righteousness. H6666
24 And if H518 thy people H5971 Israel H3478 be put to the worse H5062 before H6440 the enemy, H341 because H3588 they have sinned H2398 against thee ; and shall return H7725 and confess H3034 H853 thy name, H8034 and pray H6419 and make supplication H2603 before H6440 thee in this H2088 house; H1004
25 Then hear H8085 thou H859 from H4480 the heavens, H8064 and forgive H5545 the sin H2403 of thy people H5971 Israel, H3478 and bring them again H7725 unto H413 the land H127 which H834 thou gavest H5414 to them and to their fathers. H1
26 When the heaven H8064 is shut up, H6113 and there is H1961 no H3808 rain, H4306 because H3588 they have sinned H2398 against thee; yet if they pray H6419 toward H413 this H2088 place, H4725 and confess H3034 H853 thy name, H8034 and turn H7725 from their sin H4480 H2403 , when H3588 thou dost afflict H6031 them;
27 Then hear H8085 thou H859 from heaven, H8064 and forgive H5545 the sin H2403 of thy servants, H5650 and of thy people H5971 Israel, H3478 when H3588 thou hast taught H3384 them the good H2896 way, H1870 wherein H834 they should walk; H1980 and send H5414 rain H4306 upon H5921 thy land, H776 which H834 thou hast given H5414 unto thy people H5971 for an inheritance. H5159
28 If H3588 there be H1961 dearth H7458 in the land, H776 if H3588 there be H1961 pestilence, H1698 if H3588 there be H1961 blasting, H7711 or mildew, H3420 locusts, H697 or caterpillars; H2625 if H3588 their enemies H341 besiege H6887 them in the cities H8179 of their land; H776 whatsoever H3605 sore H5061 or whatsoever H3605 sickness H4245 there be :
29 Then what H3605 prayer H8605 or what H3605 supplication H8467 soever H834 shall be made H1961 of any H3605 man, H120 or of all H3605 thy people H5971 Israel, H3478 when H834 every one H376 shall know H3045 his own sore H5061 and his own grief, H4341 and shall spread forth H6566 his hands H3709 in H413 this H2088 house: H1004
30 Then hear H8085 thou H859 from H4480 heaven H8064 thy dwelling H3427 place, H4349 and forgive, H5545 and render H5414 unto every man H376 according unto all H3605 his ways, H1870 H853 whose heart H3824 thou knowest; H3045 ( for H3588 thou H859 only H905 knowest H3045 H853 the hearts H3824 of the children H1121 of men: H120 )
31 That H4616 they may fear H3372 thee , to walk H1980 in thy ways, H1870 so long H3605 H3117 as H834 they H1992 live H2416 in H5921 H6440 the land H127 which H834 thou gavest H5414 unto our fathers. H1
32 Moreover H1571 concerning H413 the stranger, H5237 which H834 is not H3808 of thy people H4480 H5971 Israel, H3478 but is come H935 from a far H7350 country H4480 H776 for thy great name's sake H4616 H1419, H8034 and thy mighty H2389 hand, H3027 and thy stretched out H5186 arm; H2220 if they come H935 and pray H6419 in H413 this H2088 house; H1004
33 Then hear H8085 thou H859 from H4480 the heavens, H8064 even from thy dwelling H3427 place H4480 H4349 , and do H6213 according to all H3605 that H834 the stranger H5237 calleth H7121 to H413 thee for; that H4616 all H3605 people H5971 of the earth H776 may know H3045 H853 thy name, H8034 and fear H3372 thee , as doth thy people H5971 Israel, H3478 and may know H3045 that H3588 this H2088 house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 is called H7121 by thy name. H8034
34 If H3588 thy people H5971 go out H3318 to war H4421 against H5921 their enemies H341 by the way H1870 that H834 thou shalt send H7971 them , and they pray H6419 unto H413 thee toward H1870 this H2063 city H5892 which H834 thou hast chosen, H977 and the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for thy name; H8034
35 Then hear H8085 thou from H4480 the heavens H8064 H853 their prayer H8605 and their supplication, H8467 and maintain H6213 their cause. H4941
36 If H3588 they sin H2398 against thee, ( for H3588 there is no H369 man H120 which H834 sinneth H2398 not, H3808 ) and thou be angry H599 with them , and deliver H5414 them over before H6440 their enemies, H341 and they carry them away captives H7617 H7617 unto H413 a land H776 far off H7350 or H176 near; H7138
37 Yet if they bethink themselves H7725 H413 H3824 in the land H776 whither H834 H8033 they are carried captive, H7617 and turn H7725 and pray H2603 unto H413 thee in the land H776 of their captivity, H7628 saying, H559 We have sinned, H2398 we have done amiss, H5753 and have dealt wickedly; H7561
38 If they return H7725 to H413 thee with all H3605 their heart H3820 and with all H3605 their soul H5315 in the land H776 of their captivity, H7628 whither H834 they have carried them captives H7617 H853 , and pray H6419 toward H1870 their land, H776 which H834 thou gavest H5414 unto their fathers, H1 and toward the city H5892 which H834 thou hast chosen, H977 and toward the house H1004 which H834 I have built H1129 for thy name: H8034
39 Then hear H8085 thou from H4480 the heavens, H8064 even from thy dwelling H3427 place H4480 H4349 , H853 their prayer H8605 and their supplications, H8467 and maintain H6213 their cause, H4941 and forgive H5545 thy people H5971 which H834 have sinned H2398 against thee.
40 Now H6258 , my God, H430 let , I beseech thee, H4994 thine eyes H5869 be H1961 open, H6605 and let thine ears H241 be attent H7183 unto the prayer H8605 that is made in this H2088 place. H4725
41 Now H6258 therefore arise, H6965 O LORD H3068 God, H430 into thy resting place, H5118 thou, H859 and the ark H727 of thy strength: H5797 let thy priests, H3548 O LORD H3068 God, H430 be clothed H3847 with salvation, H8668 and let thy saints H2623 rejoice H8055 in goodness. H2896
42 O LORD H3068 God, H430 turn not away H7725 H408 the face H6440 of thine anointed: H4899 remember H2142 the mercies H2617 of David H1732 thy servant. H5650
