Book 14 2 Chronicles Chapter 007

 

007:001Now 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.

 

007:002And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD,
because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.

 

007:003And 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.

 

007:004Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the
LORD.

 

007:005And 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.

 

007:006And 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.

 

007:007Moreover 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.

 

007:008Also 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.

 

007:009And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they
kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast
seven days.

 

007:010And 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.

 

007:011Thus 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.

 

007:012And 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.

 

007:013If 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;

 

007:014If 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.

 

007:015Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the
prayer that is made in this place.

 

007:016For 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.

 

007:017And 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;

 

007:018Then 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.

 

007:019But 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;

 

007:020Then 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.

 

007:021And 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?

 

007:022And 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.
