II Chronicles 6

4And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to my father David, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

Psalms 68:32, Psalms 68:35, Psalms 72:18, Psalms 72:19, Psalms 68:32

5From the day when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a ruler over my people Israel;

Daniel 9:19, 2 Samuel 7:6, 2 Samuel 7:7, 2 Samuel 7:15, 2 Samuel 7:16

6But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.

1 Chronicles 28:4, 1 Chronicles 28:4, 2 Chronicles 12:13, Psalms 132:13, 2 Chronicles 12:13

7Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

1 Kings 5:3, 1 Chronicles 17:1, 1 Kings 5:3, 1 Chronicles 17:1, 1 Chronicles 22:7

8But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:

Mark 14:8, 2 Corinthians 8:12, 1 Kings 8:18, 1 Kings 8:21, Mark 14:8

9But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

1 Chronicles 17:11, 1 Chronicles 17:12, 2 Samuel 7:12, 2 Samuel 7:13, 1 Chronicles 17:4

10And the Lord has kept his word; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.

1 Kings 3:6, 1 Kings 3:7, 1 Chronicles 29:15, 1 Kings 2:12, 1 Chronicles 29:23

11And there I have put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.

2 Chronicles 5:10, 2 Chronicles 5:10, 2 Chronicles 5:7, 2 Chronicles 5:7, Exodus 40:20

12Then he took his place in front of the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present,

Psalms 63:4, Psalms 143:6, Job 11:13, Exodus 9:33, Isaiah 50:10

13(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)

1 Kings 8:54, 1 Kings 8:54, Nehemiah 8:4, Nehemiah 8:4, Ezra 9:5

14And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts;

Exodus 15:11, Exodus 15:11, Deuteronomy 7:9, Deuteronomy 7:9, Luke 1:50

15For you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

1 Chronicles 22:9, 1 Chronicles 22:10, 1 Chronicles 22:9, 1 Chronicles 22:10, 1 Kings 8:24

16So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.

1 Kings 2:4, 1 Kings 2:4, 2 Chronicles 7:18, Psalms 132:12, John 15:14

17So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, make your word come true which you said to your servant David.

Jeremiah 11:5, Jeremiah 11:5, Isaiah 45:3, Isaiah 41:17, 2 Samuel 7:25

18But is it truly possible that God may be housed with men on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place: how much less this house which I have made:

2 Chronicles 2:6, Isaiah 66:1, 2 Chronicles 2:6, Isaiah 66:1, Psalms 139:7

19Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant and to his prayer for grace, O Lord my God, and give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant makes before you;

Psalms 20:1, Psalms 20:3, Psalms 5:1, Psalms 5:2, Luke 18:1

20That your eyes may be open to this house day and night, to this place of which you have said that you would put your name there; to give ear to the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

Psalms 34:15, Psalms 34:15, Daniel 6:10, Psalms 121:5, Daniel 6:10

21And give ear to the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear from heaven your living-place; and hearing have mercy.

Micah 7:18, Micah 7:18, Daniel 9:19, Isaiah 43:25, Daniel 9:19

22If a man does wrong to his neighbour and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

Exodus 22:11, Exodus 22:11, Matthew 23:18, Proverbs 30:9, Leviticus 5:1

23Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving punishment to the wrongdoer, so that his sin may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.

Romans 2:9, Romans 2:10, Isaiah 3:10, Isaiah 3:11, Ezekiel 18:20

24And if your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers and requesting your grace in this house:

Leviticus 26:17, Leviticus 26:17, Deuteronomy 28:25, Deuteronomy 4:29, Deuteronomy 4:31

25Then give ear from heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.

Jeremiah 33:6, Jeremiah 33:13, Jeremiah 33:6, Jeremiah 33:13, Genesis 13:15

26When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

Deuteronomy 28:23, Deuteronomy 11:17, Leviticus 26:19, Deuteronomy 28:23, Deuteronomy 11:17

27Then give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin of your people Israel may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

1 Kings 8:35, 1 Kings 8:36, Psalms 94:12, Zechariah 10:1, Jeremiah 5:24

28If there is no food in the land, if there is disease, if the fruits of the earth are damaged by heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers: whatever trouble or whatever disease there may be:

James 5:13, Joel 2:25, Revelation 9:3, Revelation 9:11, Ruth 1:1

29Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

Psalms 91:15, Psalms 33:12, Psalms 33:13, 2 Chronicles 6:12, 2 Chronicles 6:13

30Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children of men;)

1 Chronicles 28:9, 1 Chronicles 28:9, 1 Samuel 16:7, 1 Samuel 16:7, Hebrews 4:13

31So that they may give you worship, walking in your ways, as long as they are living in the land which you gave to our fathers.

1 Samuel 12:24, Acts 9:31, Exodus 20:20, Job 28:28, Psalms 130:4

32And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

Isaiah 56:3, Isaiah 56:7, Isaiah 56:3, Isaiah 56:7, Matthew 8:10

33Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.

2 Chronicles 7:14, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalms 67:2, Jeremiah 10:7, Numbers 6:27

34If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayers to you turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have put up for your name:

2 Chronicles 20:6, 2 Chronicles 20:13, 2 Chronicles 20:6, 2 Chronicles 20:13, Isaiah 14:32

35Then give ear from heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.

Daniel 9:17, Daniel 9:19, Isaiah 37:21, Isaiah 37:36, Jeremiah 5:28

36If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin,) and you are angry with them, and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away prisoners to a land far off or near;

James 3:2, 1 John 1:8, 1 John 1:10, Ecclesiastes 7:20, James 3:2

37And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, turning again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;

Daniel 9:5, Daniel 9:11, Jeremiah 31:18, Jeremiah 31:20, Luke 15:17

38If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:

Deuteronomy 30:2, Deuteronomy 30:6, Joel 2:12, Joel 2:13, Jeremiah 29:12

39Then give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong against you.

Zechariah 1:15, Zechariah 1:16, 2 Chronicles 6:35, Micah 7:18, Micah 7:20

40Now, O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears awake to the prayers made in this place.

Psalms 116:2, 2 Chronicles 7:15, Psalms 116:2, 2 Chronicles 7:15, Nehemiah 1:6

41Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.

1 Chronicles 28:2, Isaiah 61:10, 1 Chronicles 28:2, Isaiah 61:10, Nehemiah 9:25

42O Lord God, let him whom you have taken for yourself never be given up by you: keep in mind your mercies to David your servant.

Isaiah 55:3, Isaiah 55:3, Psalms 132:1, Psalms 132:1, Isaiah 61:1
