CHAPTER 7
2 Chronicles 7:1
1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven,
and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD
filled the house.
2 Chronicles 7:2
2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory
of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house. 2 Chronicles 7:3
3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory
of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the
ground upon the pavement, and worshipped,  and praised  the LORD, saying, For
he is good;  for his mercy  endureth for ever. 2 Chronicles 7:4
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. 2
Chronicles 7:5
5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an
hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king  and all the people dedicated 
the house  of God.
2 Chronicles 7:6
6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of
musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because
his mercy  endureth for ever,  when David  praised  by their ministry;  and the
priests  sounded trumpets  before them, and all Israel stood.
2 Chronicles 7:7
7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house
of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace
offerings, because the brasen altar  which Solomon  had made  was not able  to
receive  the burnt offerings,  and the meat offerings,  and the fat.
2 Chronicles 7:8
8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with
him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river 
of Egypt.
2 Chronicles 7:9
9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the
dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 2 Chronicles 7:10
10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people
away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness  that the LORD 
had shewed  unto David,  and to Solomon,  and to Israel  his people.
2 Chronicles 7:11
11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all
that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own
house,  he prosperously effected. 2 Chronicles 7:12
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard
thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
2 Chronicles 7:13
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to
devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and
pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive  their sin,  and will heal  their land. 2 Chronicles
7:15
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is
made in this place.
2 Chronicles 7:16
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there
for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 2 Chronicles
7:17
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked,
and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my
statutes and my judgments;
2 Chronicles 7:18
18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have
covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be
ruler in Israel.
2 Chronicles 7:19
19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I
have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 2
Chronicles 7:20
20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given
them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of
my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
2 Chronicles 7:21
21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that
passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this
land, and unto this house?
2 Chronicles 7:22
22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their
fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on
other gods, and worshipped them, and served  them: therefore hath he brought
all this evil  upon them.
CHAPTER 8
2 Chronicles 8:1
1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the
house of the LORD, and his own house, 2 Chronicles 8:2
2 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and
caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 2 Chronicles 8:3
3 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it. 2 Chronicles 8:4
4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he
built in Hamath.
2 Chronicles 8:5
5 Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities,
with walls, gates, and bars; 2 Chronicles 8:6
6 And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot
cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build
in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon,  and throughout all the land  of his dominion.
2 Chronicles 8:7
7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and
the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,
2 Chronicles 8:8
8 But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the
children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until
this day.
2 Chronicles 8:9
9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but
they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots
and horsemen.
2 Chronicles 8:10
10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and
fifty, that bare rule over the people. 2 Chronicles 8:11
11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto
the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in
the house of David  king  of Israel,  because the places are holy, whereunto
the ark  of the LORD  hath come. 2 Chronicles 8:12
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD,
which he had built before the porch, 2 Chronicles 8:13
13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment
of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts,
three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread,  and in the
feast  of weeks,  and in the feast  of tabernacles. 2 Chronicles 8:14
14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of
the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and
minister before the priests, as the duty  of every day  required:  the porters 
also by their courses  at every gate:  for so had David  the man of God 
commanded.
2 Chronicles 8:15
15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and
Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. 2 Chronicles 8:16
16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of
the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was
perfected.
2 Chronicles 8:17
17 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land
of Edom.
2 Chronicles 8:18
18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had
knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and
took  thence four  hundred  and fifty  talents  of gold,  and brought  them to
king  Solomon.
CHAPTER 9
2 Chronicles 9:1
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove
Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels
 that bare  spices,  and gold  in abundance,  and precious stones:  and when
she was come  to Solomon,  she communed  with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Chronicles 9:2
2 And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from
Solomon which he told her not.
2 Chronicles 9:3
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house
that he had built,
2 Chronicles 9:4
4 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the
attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their
apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD;  there
was no more spirit  in her. 2 Chronicles 9:5
5 And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own land
of thine acts, and of thy wisdom: 2 Chronicles 9:6
6 Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it:
and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for
thou exceedest the fame that I heard. 2 Chronicles 9:7
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually
before thee, and hear thy wisdom. 2 Chronicles 9:8
8 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his
throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to
establish  them for ever,  therefore made  he thee king  over them, to do
judgment  and justice.
2 Chronicles 9:9
9 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices
great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the
queen  of Sheba  gave  king  Solomon. 2 Chronicles 9:10
10 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought
gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones. 2 Chronicles 9:11
11 And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and
to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none
such  seen  before  in the land  of Judah. 2 Chronicles 9:12
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she
asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went
away to her own land, she and her servants. 2 Chronicles 9:13
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and
threescore and six talents of gold; 2 Chronicles 9:14
14 Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia
and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 2 Chronicles
9:15
15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred
shekels of beaten gold went to one  target. 2 Chronicles 9:16
16 And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of
gold went to one shield. And the king put  them in the house  of the forest  of
Lebanon.
2 Chronicles 9:17
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure
gold.
2 Chronicles 9:18
18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were
fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two
lions standing  by  the stays: 2 Chronicles 9:19
19 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six
steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom. 2 Chronicles 9:20
20 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the
vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of
silver;  it was not any  thing accounted  of in the days  of Solomon. 2
Chronicles 9:21
21 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every
three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing  gold,  and silver, ivory,
 and apes,  and peacocks.
2 Chronicles 9:22
22 And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 2
Chronicles 9:23
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his
wisdom, that God had put in his heart. 2 Chronicles 9:24
24 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of
gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate  year  by
year.
2 Chronicles 9:25
25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve
thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at
Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 9:26
26 And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the
Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. 2 Chronicles 9:27
27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as
the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance. 2 Chronicles 9:28
28 And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands. 2
Chronicles 9:29
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in
the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite,
and in the visions  of Iddo  the seer  against Jeroboam  the son of Nebat?
2 Chronicles 9:30
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 2 Chronicles
9:31
31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David
his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
