2 Chronicles 6:3 (WEB) World English Bible

1 Then spoke Solomon, Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever.
3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
4 He said, Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince 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 a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
8 But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:
9 nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
11 There have I set the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with the children of Israel.
12 He stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands
13 (for Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;)
14 and he said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven, or on earth; who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
15 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you did promise him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
16 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.
17 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.
18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
19 Yet have you respect to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
20 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place whereof you have said that you would put your name there; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.
21 Listen you to the petitions of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yes, hear from your dwelling-place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
22 If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house;
23 then hear from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
24 If your people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again and confess your name, 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 to their fathers.
26 When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them:
27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
28 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there be;
29 whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth 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, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men;)
31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
32 Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for your great name's sake, and your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house:
33 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
34 If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn't sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;
37 yet if they shall repent themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;
38 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:
39 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling-place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.
41 Now therefore arise, Yahweh God, into your resting-place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
42 Yahweh God, don't turn away the face of your anointed: remember your loving kindnesses to David your 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
