II Chronicles 6

5Since the day that I brought forth my people from the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any 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 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 an house for the name of the LORD 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, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart:

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

9However thou shalt not build the house; but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, 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

10The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am raised up in the stead of David my father, and am seated on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

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

11And in it have I put the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, that 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

12And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

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

13For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled upon his knees before all the congregation 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 said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor on the earth; who keepest covenant, and showest mercy to thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

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

15Thou who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and hast spoken with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy 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

16Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

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

17Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.

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

18But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; 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

19Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

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

20That thy eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place of which thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

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

21Hearken therefore to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

22If a man shall sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath shall come before thy altar in this house;

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

23Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by punishing the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

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

24And if thy people Israel are defeated by the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

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

25Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

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

26When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

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

27Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, in which they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

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

28If there shall be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blighting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever calamity or whatever sickness there be :

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

29Then whatever prayer or whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all the people of Israel, when every one shall know his own calamity and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

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

30Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest 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 thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.

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

32Moreover concerning the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but hath come from a distant country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy outstretched arm; if they come and pray in this house;

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

33Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

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

34If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

35Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

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

36If they sin against thee, (for there is no man who sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives 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 take it to their hearts in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

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

38If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:

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

39Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.
