Bible Reading for August 31

2 Chronicles 1
[1] And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD
his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. [2] Then Solomon spake
unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the
judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
[3] So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that
was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which
Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness. [4] But the ark of
God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had
prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
[5] Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur,
had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the
congregation sought unto it.
[6] And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was
at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings
upon it.
[7] In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I
shall give thee.
[8] And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my
father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. [9] Now , O LORD God, let thy
promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a
people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
[10] Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before
this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? [11] And God
said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked
riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast
asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou
mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: [12] Wisdom and
knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and
honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither
shall there any after thee have the like. [13] Then Solomon came from his
journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the
tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
[14] And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four
hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot
cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. [15] And the king made silver and gold
at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore
trees that are in the vale for abundance.
[16] And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's
merchants received the linen yarn at a price. [17] And they fetched up, and
brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an
horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the
kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.

2 Chronicles 2
[1] And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an
house for his kingdom.
[2] And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and
fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred
to oversee them.
[3] And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with
David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell
therein, even so deal with me. [4] Behold, I build an house to the name of the
LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and
for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening,
on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our
God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
[5] And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
[6] But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of
heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house,
save only to burn sacrifice before him? [7] Send me now therefore a man cunning
to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and
crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are
with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide. [8] Send
me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know
that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants
shall be with thy servants, [9] Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the
house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
[10] And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber,
twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of
barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
[11] Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon,
Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.
[12] Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven
and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence
and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his
kingdom.
[13] And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my
father's,
[14] The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of
Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and
in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave
any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him,
with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.
[15] Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my
lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants: [16] And we will cut wood
out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in
floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shall carry it up to Jerusalem.
[17] And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel,
after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were
found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. [18]
And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and
fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six
hundred overseers to set the people a work.

2 Chronicles 3
[1] Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount
Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David
had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. [2] And he began to
build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.
[3] Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of
the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore
cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. [4] And the porch that was in the front
of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house,
twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it
within with pure gold. [5] And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which
he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. [6] And he
garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of
Parvaim.
[7] He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof,
and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls. [8] And he
made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of
the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he
overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. [9] And the
weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper
chambers with gold.
[10] And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and
overlaid them with gold.
[11] And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the
one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other
wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. [12]
And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the
house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the
other cherub.
[13] The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and
they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward. [14] And he made the
vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims
thereon.
[15] Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high,
and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. [16] And
he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and
made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. [17] And he reared up
the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the
left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of
that on the left Boaz.
