2nd Chronicles Chapter 6 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Then said <H0559> Solomon, <H8010> The LORD <H3068> hath said <H0559> that he would dwell <H7931> in the thick darkness. <H6205>
2: But I have built <H1129> an house <H1004> of habitation <H2073> for thee, and a place <H4349> for thy dwelling <H3427> for ever. <H5769>
3: And the king <H4428> turned <H5437> his face, <H6440> and blessed <H1288> the whole congregation <H6951> of Israel: <H3478> and all the congregation <H6951> of Israel <H3478> stood. <H5975>
4: And he said, <H0559> Blessed <H1288> [be] the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> who hath with his hands <H3027> fulfilled <H4390> [that] which he spake <H1696> with his mouth <H6310> to my father <H0001> David, <H1732> saying, <H0559>
5: Since the day <H3117> that I brought forth <H3318> my people <H5971> out of the land <H0776> of Egypt <H4714> I chose <H0977> no city <H5892> among all the tribes <H7626> of Israel <H3478> to build <H1129> an house <H1004> in, that my name <H8034> might be there; neither chose <H0977> I any man <H0376> to be a ruler <H5057> over my people <H5971> Israel: <H3478>
6: But I have chosen <H0977> Jerusalem, <H3389> that my name <H8034> might be there; and have chosen <H0977> David <H1732> to be over my people <H5971> Israel. <H3478>
7: Now it was in the heart <H3824> of David <H1732> my father <H0001> to build <H1129> an house <H1004> for the name <H8034> of the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel. <H3478>
8: But the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> to David <H1732> my father, <H0001> Forasmuch as it was in thine heart <H3824> to build <H1129> an house <H1004> for my name, <H8034> thou didst well <H2895> in that it was in thine heart: <H3824>
9: Notwithstanding <H7535> thou shalt not build <H1129> the house; <H1004> but thy son <H1121> which shall come forth <H3318> out of thy loins, <H2504> he shall build <H1129> the house <H1004> for my name. <H8034>
10: The LORD <H3068> therefore hath performed <H6965> his word <H1697> that he hath spoken: <H1696> for I am risen up <H6965> in the room of David <H1732> my father, <H0001> and am set <H3427> on the throne <H3678> of Israel, <H3478> as the LORD <H3068> promised, <H1696> and have built <H1129> the house <H1004> for the name <H8034> of the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel. <H3478>
11: And in it <H8033> have I put <H7760> the ark, <H0727> wherein [is] the covenant <H1285> of the LORD, <H3068> that he made <H3772> with the children <H1121> of Israel. <H3478>
12: And he stood <H5975> before <H6440> the altar <H4196> of the LORD <H3068> in the presence of all the congregation <H6951> of Israel, <H3478> and spread forth <H6566> his hands: <H3709>
13: For Solomon <H8010> had made <H6213> a brasen <H5178> scaffold, <H3595> of five <H2568> cubits <H0520> long, <H0753> and five <H2568> cubits <H0520> broad, <H7341> and three <H7969> cubits <H0520> high, <H6967> and had set <H5414> it in the midst <H8432> of the court: <H5835> and upon it he stood, <H5975> and kneeled down <H1288> upon his knees <H1290> before all the congregation <H6951> of Israel, <H3478> and spread forth <H6566> his hands <H3709> toward heaven, <H8064>
14: And said, <H0559> O LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> [there is] no God <H0430> like thee in the heaven, <H8064> nor in the earth; <H0776> which keepest <H8104> covenant, <H1285> and [shewest] mercy <H2617> unto thy servants, <H5650> that walk <H1980> before <H6440> thee with all their hearts: <H3820>
15: Thou which hast kept <H8104> with thy servant <H5650> David <H1732> my father <H0001> that which 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 day. <H3117>
16: Now therefore, O LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> keep <H8104> with thy servant <H5650> David <H1732> my father <H0001> that which thou hast promised <H1696> him, saying, <H0559> There shall not fail <H3772> thee a man <H0376> in my sight <H6440> to sit <H3427> upon the throne <H3678> of Israel; <H3478> yet so <H7535> that thy children <H1121> take heed <H8104> to their way <H1870> to walk <H3212> in my law, <H8451> as thou hast walked <H1980> before <H6440> me.
17: Now then, O LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> let thy word <H1697> be verified, <H0539> which thou hast spoken <H1696> unto thy servant <H5650> David. <H1732>
18: But will God <H0430> in very deed <H0552> dwell <H3427> with men <H0120> on the earth? <H0776> behold, heaven <H8064> and the heaven <H8064> of heavens <H8064> cannot contain <H3557> thee; how much less this house <H1004> which I have built! <H1129>
19: Have respect <H6437> therefore to the prayer <H8605> of thy servant, <H5650> and to his supplication, <H8467> O LORD <H3068> my God, <H0430> to hearken <H8085> unto the cry <H7440> and the prayer <H8605> which thy servant <H5650> prayeth <H6419> before <H6440> thee:
20: That thine eyes <H5869> may be open <H6605> upon this house <H1004> day <H3119> and night, <H3915> upon the place <H4725> whereof thou hast said <H0559> that thou wouldest put <H7760> thy name <H8034> there; to hearken <H8085> unto the prayer <H8605> which thy servant <H5650> prayeth <H6419> toward this place. <H4725>
21: Hearken <H8085> therefore unto the supplications <H8469> of thy servant, <H5650> and of thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> which they shall make <H6419> toward this place: <H4725> hear <H8085> thou from thy dwelling <H3427> place, <H4725> [even] from heaven; <H8064> and when thou hearest, <H8085> forgive. <H5545>
22: If a man <H0376> sin <H2398> against his neighbour, <H7453> and an oath <H0423> be laid <H5375> upon him to make him swear, <H0422> and the oath <H0423> come <H0935> before <H6440> thine altar <H4196> in this house; <H1004>
23: Then hear <H8085> thou from heaven, <H8064> and do, <H6213> and judge <H8199> 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 thy people <H5971> Israel <H3478> be put to the worse <H5062> before <H6440> the enemy, <H0341> because they have sinned <H2398> against thee; and shall return <H7725> and confess <H3034> thy name, <H8034> and pray <H6419> and make supplication <H2603> before <H6440> thee in this house; <H1004>
25: Then hear <H8085> thou from the heavens, <H8064> and forgive <H5545> the sin <H2403> of thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> and bring them again <H7725> unto the land <H0127> which thou gavest <H5414> to them and to their fathers. <H0001>
26: When the heaven <H8064> is shut up, <H6113> and there is no rain, <H4306> because they have sinned <H2398> against thee; [yet] if they pray <H6419> toward this place, <H4725> and confess <H3034> thy name, <H8034> and turn <H7725> from their sin, <H2403> when thou dost afflict <H6031> them;
27: Then hear <H8085> thou from heaven, <H8064> and forgive <H5545> the sin <H2403> of thy servants, <H5650> and of thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> when thou hast taught <H3384> them the good <H2896> way, <H1870> wherein they should walk; <H3212> and send <H5414> rain <H4306> upon thy land, <H0776> which thou hast given <H5414> unto thy people <H5971> for an inheritance. <H5159>
28: If there be dearth <H7458> in the land, <H0776> if there be pestilence, <H1698> if there be blasting, <H7711> or mildew, <H3420> locusts, <H0697> or caterpillers; <H2625> if their enemies <H0341> besiege <H6887> them in the cities <H8179> of their land; <H0776> whatsoever sore <H5061> or whatsoever sickness <H4245> [there be]:
29: [Then] what prayer <H8605> [or] what supplication <H8467> soever shall be made of any man, <H0120> or of all thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> when every one <H0376> shall know <H3045> his own sore <H5061> and his own grief, <H4341> and shall spread forth <H6566> his hands <H3709> in this house: <H1004>
30: Then hear <H8085> thou from heaven <H8064> thy dwelling <H3427> place, <H4349> and forgive, <H5545> and render <H5414> unto every man <H0376> according unto all his ways, <H1870> whose heart <H3824> thou knowest; <H3045> (for thou only knowest <H3045> the hearts <H3824> of the children <H1121> of men:) <H0120>
31: That they may fear <H3372> thee, to walk <H3212> in thy ways, <H1870> so long as <H3117> they live <H2416> in <H6440> the land <H0127> which thou gavest <H5414> unto our fathers. <H0001>
32: Moreover concerning the stranger, <H5237> which is not of thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> but is come <H0935> from a far <H7350> country <H0776> for thy great <H1419> name's <H8034> sake, and thy mighty <H2389> hand, <H3027> and thy stretched out <H5186> arm; <H2220> if they come <H0935> and pray <H6419> in this house; <H1004>
33: Then hear <H8085> thou from the heavens, <H8064> [even] from thy dwelling <H3427> place, <H4349> and do <H6213> according to all that the stranger <H5237> calleth <H7121> to thee for; that all people <H5971> of the earth <H0776> may know <H3045> thy name, <H8034> and fear <H3372> thee, as [doth] thy people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> and may know <H3045> that this house <H1004> which I have built <H1129> is called <H7121> by thy name. <H8034>
34: If thy people <H5971> go out <H3318> to war <H4421> against their enemies <H0341> by the way <H1870> that thou shalt send <H7971> them, and they pray <H6419> unto thee toward <H1870> this city <H5892> which thou hast chosen, <H0977> and the house <H1004> which I have built <H1129> for thy name; <H8034>
35: Then hear <H8085> thou from the heavens <H8064> their prayer <H8605> and their supplication, <H8467> and maintain <H6213> their cause. <H4941>
36: If they sin <H2398> against thee, (for [there is] no man <H0120> which sinneth <H2398> not,) and thou be angry <H0599> with them, and deliver <H5414> them over before <H6440> [their] enemies, <H0341> and they carry them away <H7617> captives <H7617> unto a land <H0776> far off <H7350> or near; <H7138>
37: Yet [if] they bethink <H7725> <H3824> themselves in the land <H0776> whither they are carried captive, <H7617> and turn <H7725> and pray <H2603> unto thee in the land <H0776> of their captivity, <H7628> saying, <H0559> We have sinned, <H2398> we have done amiss, <H5753> and have dealt wickedly; <H7561>
38: If they return <H7725> to thee with all their heart <H3820> and with all their soul <H5315> in the land <H0776> of their captivity, <H7628> whither they have carried them captives, <H7617> and pray <H6419> toward <H1870> their land, <H0776> which thou gavest <H5414> unto their fathers, <H0001> and [toward] the city <H5892> which thou hast chosen, <H0977> and toward the house <H1004> which I have built <H1129> for thy name: <H8034>
39: Then hear <H8085> thou from the heavens, <H8064> [even] from thy dwelling <H3427> place, <H4349> their prayer <H8605> and their supplications, <H8467> and maintain <H6213> their cause, <H4941> and forgive <H5545> thy people <H5971> which have sinned <H2398> against thee.
40: Now, my God, <H0430> let, I beseech thee, thine eyes <H5869> be open, <H6605> and [let] thine ears <H0241> [be] attent <H7183> unto the prayer <H8605> [that is made] in this place. <H4725>
41: Now therefore arise, <H6965> O LORD <H3068> God, <H0430> into thy resting <H5118> place, thou, and the ark <H0727> of thy strength: <H5797> let thy priests, <H3548> O LORD <H3068> God, <H0430> be clothed <H3847> with salvation, <H8668> and let thy saints <H2623> rejoice <H8055> in goodness. <H2896>
42: O LORD <H3068> God, <H0430> turn not away <H7725> the face <H6440> of thine anointed: <H4899> remember <H2142> the mercies <H2617> of David <H1732> thy servant. <H5650>
