II Chronicles 6

5'Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; nor did I choose any man to be the leader over my people Israel:

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

6but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen 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 David my father to build 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, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:

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

9nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.'

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

10"The Lord has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built 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

11There I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the children of Israel."

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

12He stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands

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

13(for Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;)

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

14and he said, "Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven, or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;

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

15who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.

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

16"Now therefore, Lord, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.'

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

17Now therefore, Lord, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.

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

18"But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven can't contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

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

19Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, Lord my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;

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

20that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.

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

21Listen to the petitions of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.

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

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

23then hear from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

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

24"If your people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;

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

25then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them 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

26"When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:

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

27then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

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

28"If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;

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

29whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:

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

30then hear from heaven, your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know 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

31that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live 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

32"Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for your great name's sake, and your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house:

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

33then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

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

34"If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;

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

35then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

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

36"If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn't sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;

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

37yet if they shall repent themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, 'We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;'

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

38if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:

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

39then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
