vw - 2Chronicles:1-9

vw@2Chronicles:1:1 @ And Solomon the son of David strengthened himself in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him and highly magnified him.

vw@2Chronicles:1:2 @ And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of the fathers;

vw@2Chronicles:1:3 @ and Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness, was there.

vw@2Chronicles:1:4 @ But David had brought up the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim to the place David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:1:5 @ And the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly sought it out.

vw@2Chronicles:1:6 @ And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

vw@2Chronicles:1:7 @ That night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give you.

vw@2Chronicles:1:8 @ And Solomon said to God: You have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:1:9 @ Now, O Jehovah God, let Your promise to David my father be established, for You have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth for multitude.

vw@2Chronicles:1:10 @ Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?

vw@2Chronicles:1:11 @ And God said to Solomon: Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king;

vw@2Chronicles:1:12 @ wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings who were before you have had, nor shall any after you have the like.

vw@2Chronicles:1:13 @ So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, and reigned over Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:1:14 @ And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:1:15 @ Also the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.

vw@2Chronicles:1:16 @ And Solomon had horses exported out of Egypt and Mikveh; the kings merchants got them at Mikveh for a price.

vw@2Chronicles:1:17 @ Now a chariot that came up and was brought out from Egypt was six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse one hundred and fifty; and thus, by their hand, they brought them out to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

vw@2Chronicles:2:1 @ And Solomon determined to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a royal house for himself.

vw@2Chronicles:2:2 @ Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand to quarry stone in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.

vw@2Chronicles:2:3 @ And Solomon sent to Huram king of Tyre, saying: As you have dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build himself a house to dwell in,

vw@2Chronicles:2:4 @ behold, I am building a house for the name of Jehovah my God, to consecrate it to Him, to burn before Him spiced incense, for the continual Bread in Rows, for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God, continually in Israel;

vw@2Chronicles:2:5 @ and the house which I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods;

vw@2Chronicles:2:6 @ but who is able to build Him a house, since the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a house, except to burn sacrifices with smoke before Him?

vw@2Chronicles:2:7 @ Therefore now, send me a skilled man to work in gold and silver, in bronze and iron, in purple and crimson and violet, who has skill to engrave carvings with the wise men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father has provided.

vw@2Chronicles:2:8 @ Also send me cedar, cypress and algum from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon; and behold my servants will be with your servants,

vw@2Chronicles:2:9 @ to prepare timber for me in abundance, for the house which I am building shall be great and wonderful.

vw@2Chronicles:2:10 @ And behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who are cutting timber, twenty thousand kors of ground wheat, twenty thousand kors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

vw@2Chronicles:2:11 @ And Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: Because of Jehovahs love for His people, He has appointed you king over them.

vw@2Chronicles:2:12 @ Huram also said: Blessed is Jehovah the God of Israel, who has made the heavens and earth, for He has given King David a wise son, endowed with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Jehovah and a royal house for himself.

vw@2Chronicles:2:13 @ And now I have sent a skillful man, having knowledge and understanding, Huram-abi,

vw@2Chronicles:2:14 @ (the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father, a man of Tyre), knowing how to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple and violet, fine linen and crimson, and to make any engraving and to accomplish any plan which may be given to him, with your craftsmen and with the craftsmen of my lord David your father.

vw@2Chronicles:2:15 @ Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine of which my lord has spoken, let him send to his servants.

vw@2Chronicles:2:16 @ And we will cut timber from Lebanon, as much as you need; we will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will carry it up to Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:2:17 @ And Solomon numbered all the foreign men who were in the land of Israel, after the census in which David his father had numbered them; and there were found to be one hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.

vw@2Chronicles:2:18 @ And he made seventy thousand of them bearers of burdens, eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred overseers to make the people work.

vw@2Chronicles:3:1 @ Thus Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where He had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

vw@2Chronicles:3:2 @ And he began to build on the second day of the second month in the fourth year of his reign.

vw@2Chronicles:3:3 @ This is the foundation which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits.

vw@2Chronicles:3:4 @ And the porch that was in front of the sanctuary was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the height was one hundred and twenty. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.

vw@2Chronicles:3:5 @ The great house he paneled with cypress which he covered with fine gold, and he put palm trees and chains on it.

vw@2Chronicles:3:6 @ And he overlaid the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold from Parvaim.

vw@2Chronicles:3:7 @ He also covered the house, the beams and thresholds, its walls and doors, with gold; and he engraved cherubim on the walls.

vw@2Chronicles:3:8 @ And he made the house of the Holy of Holies. Its length was the same as the front of the house, twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits. He covered it with six hundred talents of fine gold.

vw@2Chronicles:3:9 @ The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold; and he covered the upper chambers with gold.

vw@2Chronicles:3:10 @ In the house of the Holy of Holies he made two cherubim of sculpted work, and overlaid them with gold.

vw@2Chronicles:3:11 @ The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits in length: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub;

vw@2Chronicles:3:12 @ one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing also was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub.

vw@2Chronicles:3:13 @ The wings of these cherubim stretching out twenty cubits; standing on their feet, facing the house.

vw@2Chronicles:3:14 @ And he made the veil of violet, purple, crimson, and fine linen, with raised cherubim.

vw@2Chronicles:3:15 @ He also made in front of the house two pillars thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

vw@2Chronicles:3:16 @ He made chains, as in the inner sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

vw@2Chronicles:3:17 @ And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; he called the name of the one on the right hand Jachin, and the name of the one on the left Boaz.

vw@2Chronicles:4:1 @ Moreover he made a bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.

vw@2Chronicles:4:2 @ And he made the cast sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, a round circle. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits circled around it.

vw@2Chronicles:4:3 @ And underneath it were shapes like oxen encircling it all around, ten per cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

vw@2Chronicles:4:4 @ It stood on twelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the sea was set upon them, with all their back parts inward.

vw@2Chronicles:4:5 @ It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.

vw@2Chronicles:4:6 @ He also made ten basins, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them, and the sea was for the priests to wash in.

vw@2Chronicles:4:7 @ And he made ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance, and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.

vw@2Chronicles:4:8 @ He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred bowls of gold.

vw@2Chronicles:4:9 @ Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court and doors for the court; and he overlaid these doors with bronze.

vw@2Chronicles:4:10 @ He set the sea on the right side, toward the southeast.

vw@2Chronicles:4:11 @ And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God:

vw@2Chronicles:4:12 @ the two pillars and the bowls and capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars;

vw@2Chronicles:4:13 @ four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars);

vw@2Chronicles:4:14 @ he also made the carts and the basins on the carts;

vw@2Chronicles:4:15 @ one sea and twelve oxen under it;

vw@2Chronicles:4:16 @ also the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all the utensils Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:4:17 @ In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.

vw@2Chronicles:4:18 @ And Solomon had all these vessels made in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.

vw@2Chronicles:4:19 @ Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was the Bread of the Presence,

vw@2Chronicles:4:20 @ the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn according to the ordinance in front of the inner sanctuary,

vw@2Chronicles:4:21 @ with the flowers and the lamps and the snuffers of gold, of purest gold;

vw@2Chronicles:4:22 @ the snuffers, the bowls, the spoons, and the censers of pure gold. And the entrance of the house, its inner doors to the Holy of Holies, and the doors of the house of the temple, were gold.

vw@2Chronicles:5:1 @ Thus all the work that Solomon had done for the house of Jehovah was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had consecrated: the silver and the gold and all the articles. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

vw@2Chronicles:5:2 @ And Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah up from the City of David, which is Zion.

vw@2Chronicles:5:3 @ And all the men of Israel assembled to the king for the feast, which was in the seventh month.

vw@2Chronicles:5:4 @ And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

vw@2Chronicles:5:5 @ And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests, the Levites, brought them up.

vw@2Chronicles:5:6 @ Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

vw@2Chronicles:5:7 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.

vw@2Chronicles:5:8 @ For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered over the ark and its poles from above.

vw@2Chronicles:5:9 @ And the poles were long enough that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen from in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

vw@2Chronicles:5:10 @ Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses had put there at Horeb, when Jehovah had made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

vw@2Chronicles:5:11 @ And it came to pass when the priests came out of the sanctuary (for all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves, without observing their divisions),

vw@2Chronicles:5:12 @ and the Levites who were singing, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, were standing to the east of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, lutes and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding the trumpets;

vw@2Chronicles:5:13 @ and those sounding the trumpets and those singing were as one, with one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah, to raise their voices with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of song, to praise Jehovah, saying: For He is good, for His mercy is eternal; that the house, the house of Jehovah, was filled with a cloud,

vw@2Chronicles:5:14 @ so that the priests could not remain standing to serve before the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of God.

vw@2Chronicles:6:1 @ Then Solomon spoke: Jehovah has said He would dwell in the dark cloud.

vw@2Chronicles:6:2 @ I have built You an exalted house, and a place for You to dwell always.

vw@2Chronicles:6:3 @ And the king turned his face and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

vw@2Chronicles:6:4 @ And he said: Blessed is Jehovah the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His hands what He has spoken with His mouth to my father David, saying,

vw@2Chronicles:6:5 @ Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there, nor have I chosen any man to be a ruler over My people Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:6 @ Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there; and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:7 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:8 @ But Jehovah said to my father David, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart.

vw@2Chronicles:6:9 @ Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come from your loins, he shall build the house for My name.

vw@2Chronicles:6:10 @ Thus Jehovah has fulfilled His word which He has spoken, and I have risen up in place of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah has spoken; and I have built the house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:11 @ And there I have put the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah which He has made with the children of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:12 @ And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

vw@2Chronicles:6:13 @ (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward Heaven),

vw@2Chronicles:6:14 @ and he said: O Jehovah, God of Israel, there is no God in the heavens or on earth like You, keeping Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

vw@2Chronicles:6:15 @ You have kept what You have spoken to Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.

vw@2Chronicles:6:16 @ Therefore, O Jehovah, God of Israel, now keep what You have spoken to Your servant David my father, saying, You shall not fail to have a man sitting before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, to walk in My Law as you have walked before Me.

vw@2Chronicles:6:17 @ And now, O Jehovah, God of Israel, let Your Word be established, which You have spoken to Your servant David.

vw@2Chronicles:6:18 @ But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built.

vw@2Chronicles:6:19 @ Yet have regard to the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Jehovah my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You:

vw@2Chronicles:6:20 @ that Your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, toward the place where You have spoken to put Your name, that You may hear the prayer which Your servant prays toward this place.

vw@2Chronicles:6:21 @ And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from Heaven Your dwelling place, and when You have heard, forgive.

vw@2Chronicles:6:22 @ If anyone sins against his neighbor, and has been required to swear an oath, and has come with an oath before Your altar in this house,

vw@2Chronicles:6:23 @ then hear from Heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, to bring retribution on the wicked to bring his way upon his own head, and to justify the righteous to give him according to his righteousness.

vw@2Chronicles:6:24 @ Or if Your people Israel are struck down before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and have returned and confessed Your name, and prayed and made supplication before You in this house,

vw@2Chronicles:6:25 @ then hear from Heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You have given to them and their fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:6:26 @ When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your name, and turned from their sin because You afflicted them,

vw@2Chronicles:6:27 @ then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

vw@2Chronicles:6:28 @ When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever the plague or whatever the sickness;

vw@2Chronicles:6:29 @ whatever prayer or supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows his own plague and his own grief, and has spread out his hands to this house:

vw@2Chronicles:6:30 @ then hear from Heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone have known the hearts of the sons of men),

vw@2Chronicles:6:31 @ that they may fear You, to walk in Your ways all the days they live on the face of the land which You have given to our fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:6:32 @ Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but who has come from a distant land because of Your great name and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm, when they have come and prayed in this house;

vw@2Chronicles:6:33 @ then hear from Heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

vw@2Chronicles:6:34 @ When Your people go out to battle against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they have prayed to You toward this city which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your name,

vw@2Chronicles:6:35 @ then hear from Heaven their prayer and their supplication, and do what is fitting.

vw@2Chronicles:6:36 @ When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You have become angry with them and delivered them to the enemy, and they have taken them captive to a land far or near;

vw@2Chronicles:6:37 @ yet when they have returned in their hearts in the land where they have been carried captive, and have turned back, and sought Your favor in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have acted wickedly;

vw@2Chronicles:6:38 @ and when they have returned to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been carried captive, and prayed toward their land which You have given to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for Your name:

vw@2Chronicles:6:39 @ then hear from Heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplications, and bring about justice, and forgive Your people who have sinned against You.

vw@2Chronicles:6:40 @ Now, my God, I pray, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

vw@2Chronicles:6:41 @ Now therefore, Arise, O Jehovah God, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. Let Your priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let Your saints rejoice in goodness.

vw@2Chronicles:6:42 @ O Jehovah God, do not turn away the face of Your anointed; remember the faithfulness of Your servant David.

vw@2Chronicles:7:1 @ And when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from the heavens and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

vw@2Chronicles:7:2 @ And the priests were not able to enter the house of Jehovah, because the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:7:3 @ When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah upon the house, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and prostrated themselves and gave thanks unto Jehovah, saying: For He is good, for His mercy is eternal.

vw@2Chronicles:7:4 @ And the king and all the people offered sacrifices before Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:7:5 @ King Solomon offered sacrifices of twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. Thus the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

vw@2Chronicles:7:6 @ The priests were stationed at their posts; the Levites also with instruments of song unto Jehovah, (which King David had made to give praise unto Jehovah, saying, For His mercy is eternal, whenever David offered praise by their hand), and the priests sounded trumpets opposite them, while all Israel were standing.

vw@2Chronicles:7:7 @ Furthermore Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of Jehovah; for there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat.

vw@2Chronicles:7:8 @ At that time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.

vw@2Chronicles:7:9 @ And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for they observed the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

vw@2Chronicles:7:10 @ On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the good that Jehovah had done to David, to Solomon, and to His people Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:7:11 @ Thus Solomon finished the house of Jehovah and the kings house; and Solomon brought to successful conclusion all that came into his heart to make in the house of Jehovah and in his own house.

vw@2Chronicles:7:12 @ And Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

vw@2Chronicles:7:13 @ When I shut up the heavens and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people,

vw@2Chronicles:7:14 @ if My people who have been called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from the heavens, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

vw@2Chronicles:7:15 @ Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayers of this place.

vw@2Chronicles:7:16 @ For now I have chosen and consecrated this house, that My name may be there always; and My eyes and My heart shall be there all the days.

vw@2Chronicles:7:17 @ As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David has walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and keep My statutes and My judgments,

vw@2Chronicles:7:18 @ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I have covenanted with David your father, saying, You shall not fail to have a man ruling in Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:7:19 @ But if you turn back and have forsaken My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them,

vw@2Chronicles:7:20 @ then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out from before My face, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

vw@2Chronicles:7:21 @ And as for this lofty house, everyone who passes by it will be appalled and say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and this house?

vw@2Chronicles:7:22 @ Then they will answer, Because they have forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and taken hold on other gods, and bowed down to them and served them; therefore He has brought all this evil upon them.

vw@2Chronicles:8:1 @ It came to pass at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of Jehovah and his own house,

vw@2Chronicles:8:2 @ that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them; and he caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

vw@2Chronicles:8:3 @ And Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and captured it.

vw@2Chronicles:8:4 @ He also built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities which he built in Hamath.

vw@2Chronicles:8:5 @ He built upper Beth Horon and lower Beth Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars;

vw@2Chronicles:8:6 @ also Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

vw@2Chronicles:8:7 @ All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of Israel;

vw@2Chronicles:8:8 @ that is, their sons who were left in the land after them, whom the sons of Israel had not finished off; from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

vw@2Chronicles:8:9 @ But Solomon did not make slaves for his work from the sons of Israel. They were men of war, commanders of his officers, commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen.

vw@2Chronicles:8:10 @ And others were chiefs of the deputies of King Solomon: two hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people.

vw@2Chronicles:8:11 @ And Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David, king of Israel, because the places to which the ark of Jehovah has come are holy.

vw@2Chronicles:8:12 @ And Solomon offered burnt offerings unto Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah which he had built before the porch,

vw@2Chronicles:8:13 @ according to the matter of each day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the three appointed yearly feasts; the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.

vw@2Chronicles:8:14 @ And, according to the ordinance of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, the Levites for their charges, to praise and serve before the priests, as the charge of each day required, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for thus was the commandment of David the man of God.

vw@2Chronicles:8:15 @ They did not depart from the command of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasuries.

vw@2Chronicles:8:16 @ And all the work of Solomon was steadfast from the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah until it was finished. Thus the house of Jehovah was completed.

vw@2Chronicles:9:8 @ Blessed is Jehovah your God, who has delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for Jehovah your God. In your Gods love for Israel, to establish them forever, He has made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.
