CHAPTER 4
2 Chronicles 4:1
1 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and
twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof. 2
Chronicles 4:2
2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass,
and five cubits the height thereof; and a line  of thirty  cubits did compass 
it round about.
2 Chronicles 4:3
3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about:
ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast,
when it was cast.
2 Chronicles 4:4
4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking
toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking  toward
the east:  and the sea  was set above  upon them, and all their hinder parts 
were inward.
2 Chronicles 4:5
5 And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work
of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three
thousand baths.
2 Chronicles 4:6
6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the
left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they
washed in them; but the sea  was for the priests  to wash in. 2 Chronicles 4:7
7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in
the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 2 Chronicles 4:8
8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right
side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold. 2 Chronicles
4:9
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors
for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass. 2 Chronicles 4:10
10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the
south.
2 Chronicles 4:11
11 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished
the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God; 2
Chronicles 4:12
12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on
the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the
chapiters which were on the top  of the pillars; 2 Chronicles 4:13
13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates
on each wreath, to cover the two pommels  of the chapiters which were upon  the
pillars.
2 Chronicles 4:14
14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases; 2 Chronicles 4:15
15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 2 Chronicles 4:16
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their
instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the
LORD of bright brass.
2 Chronicles 4:17
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between
Succoth and Zeredathah.
2 Chronicles 4:18
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of
the brass could not be found out.
2 Chronicles 4:19
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden
altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set; 2 Chronicles 4:20
20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the
manner before the oracle, of pure gold; 2 Chronicles 4:21
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that
perfect gold;
2 Chronicles 4:22
22 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure
gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy
place, and the doors  of the house  of the temple,  were of gold. CHAPTER 5
2 Chronicles 5:1
1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished:
and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and
the silver,  and the gold,  and all the instruments,  put  he among the
treasures  of the house  of God. 2 Chronicles 5:2
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes,
the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up
the ark  of the covenant  of the LORD  out of the city  of David,  which is
Zion.
2 Chronicles 5:3
3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the
feast which was in the seventh month. 2 Chronicles 5:4
4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. 2
Chronicles 5:5
5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all
the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the
Levites bring up.
2 Chronicles 5:6
6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled
unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor
numbered for multitude.
2 Chronicles 5:7
7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his
place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the
wings of the cherubims:
2 Chronicles 5:8
8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the
cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 2 Chronicles 5:9
9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were
seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there
it is unto this day.
2 Chronicles 5:10
10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at
Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they
came out of Egypt.
2 Chronicles 5:11
11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for
all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by
course:
2 Chronicles 5:12
12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of
Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen,
having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood  at the east end  of the altar, 
and with them an hundred  and twenty  priests  sounding  with trumpets:)
2 Chronicles 5:13
13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one
sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up
their voice with the trumpets and cymbals  and instruments  of musick,  and
praised  the LORD,  saying, For he is good;  for his mercy endureth for ever: 
that then the house  was filled  with a cloud,  even the house  of the LORD;
2 Chronicles 5:14
14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for
the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God. CHAPTER 6
2 Chronicles 6:1
1 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick
darkness.
2 Chronicles 6:2
2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy
dwelling for ever.
2 Chronicles 6:3
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel:
and all the congregation of Israel stood. 2 Chronicles 6:4
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, 2
Chronicles 6:5
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:
2 Chronicles 6:6
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen
David to be over my people Israel.
2 Chronicles 6:7
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of
the LORD God of Israel.
2 Chronicles 6:8
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:
2 Chronicles 6:9
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. 2 Chronicles 6:10
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.
2 Chronicles 6:11
11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he
made with the children of Israel. 2 Chronicles 6:12
12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the
congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands: 2 Chronicles 6:13
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, 2
Chronicles 6:14
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: 2 Chronicles 6:15
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.
2 Chronicles 6:16
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.
2 Chronicles 6:17
17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast
spoken unto thy servant David.
2 Chronicles 6:18
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!
2 Chronicles 6:19
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:
2 Chronicles 6:20
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. 2 Chronicles 6:21
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. 2 Chronicles 6:22
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; 2 Chronicles 6:23
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. 2 Chronicles 6:24
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; 2 Chronicles 6:25
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.
2 Chronicles 6:26
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; 2 Chronicles 6:27
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.
2 Chronicles 6:28
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:
2 Chronicles 6:29
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: 2 Chronicles 6:30
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:) 2 Chronicles 6:31
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. 2 Chronicles 6:32
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; 2 Chronicles 6:33
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. 2 Chronicles
6:34
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; 2 Chronicles 6:35
35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and
maintain their cause.
2 Chronicles 6:36
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; 2 Chronicles 6:37
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; 2 Chronicles 6:38
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:
2 Chronicles 6:39
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. 2 Chronicles 6:40
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. 2 Chronicles 6:41
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. 2 Chronicles 6:42
42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies
of David thy servant.
