II Chronicles 6

5From the day I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I made choice of no city, out of all the tribes of Israel, for building a house, where my Name might be,—neither made I choice of any man, to be chief ruler over my people Israel:

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

6nevertheless I have made choice of Jerusalem, that my Name might be there,—and I have made choice of David, that he might be over my people Israel.

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

7And so it came to pass, that it was near the heart of David my father,—to build a house, to the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel.

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

8Then said Yahweh unto David my father, Because it was near thy heart to build a house for my Name, thou didst well that it was near thy heart:

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

9Only, thou thyself, must not build the house,—but, thine own son, that proceedeth 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

10So then Yahweh hath established his word, which he spake,—and I have been raised up instead of David my father, and have taken my seat upon the throne of Israel, as spake Yahweh, and have built the house to the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel;

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

11and have put there, the ark,—wherein is the covenant of Yahweh,—which he solemnised with the sons of Israel.

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

12Then stood he before the altar of Yahweh, in the presence of all the convocation 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 platform of bronze, and had set it in the midst of the enclosure, five cubits, the length thereof, and, five cubits, the breadth thereof, and, three cubits, the height thereof,-and he stood thereon, and knelt upon his knees, in the presence of all the convocation of Israel, and spread forth his hands, heavenward;

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

14and said, O Yahweh! God of Israel, Not like unto thee, is there a god, in the heavens, or throughout the earth,—who keepest Covenant and Lovingkindness for thy servants who are walking before thee with all their heart:

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

15who hast kept, for thy servant David my father, that which thou didst promise him,—in that thou didst promise with thy mouth, and, with thy hand, hast fulfilled, 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 Yahweh—God of Israel, keep thou, for thy servant David my father, that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not be cut off to thee a man, from before me, to sit upon the throne of Israel, if only, thy sons 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, therefore, O Yahweh, God of Israel,-verified be thy promise, which thou didst make unto thy servant David.

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

18But, in very deed, will God dwell with man on the earth? Lo! the heavens, even the leaven 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

19Wilt thou then turn unto the prayer of thy servant and unto his supplication, O Yahweh my God,—to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer, wherewith thy servant is praying before thee:

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

20that thine eyes may be open toward this house, day and night, toward the place of which thou hast said thou wouldst set thy Name there,—to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant may pray towards this place:

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

21wilt thou therefore hearken unto the supplications of thy servant, and thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place,—yea wilt, thou thyself, hear, out of thine own dwelling-place, out of the heavens, and, when thou hearest, then wilt thou forgive?

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

22If a man shall sin against his neighbour, and there shall be laid upon him an oath, to put him on oath,—and an oath shall come before thine altar in this house,

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

23then wilt, thou thyself, hear out of the heavens, and act, and judge thy servants, bringing back unto the lawless, to set his way upon his own head,—and justifying the righteous, by giving to him, according to his righteousness?

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

24Or, if thy people Israel be smitten before an enemy, because they have been sinning against thee,—and they turn, 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 wilt, thou thyself, hear out of the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel,—and bring them back unto the soil, which thou didst give to them and to their fathers?

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

26When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain, because they have been sinning against thee,—and they shall pray towards this place, and shall confess thy Name, from their sin, shall return, because thou hast been afflicting them,

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

27then wilt, thou thyself, hear [out of] the heavens and forgive the sin of thy servants, and thy people Israel, that thou mayest direct them into the good way, wherein they should walk,—and give rain, upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people, for an inheritance?

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

28When there shall be, a famine, in the land, when there shall be, a pestilence,—when there shall be, blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar,—when their enemy shall besiege them in the land at their own gates-whatsoever plague or whatsoever sickness;-

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

29whatsoever prayer, whatsoever supplication, which any son of earth may have, or any of thy people Israel,—when any man shall come to know his plague, or his pain, and so he shall spread abroad his hands towards this house—

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

30then wilt, thou thyself, hear out of the heavens, the settled place of thine abode, and forgive, and grant to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou wilt know,—for, thou thyself alone, knowest the heart of the sons of men:

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

31to the end they may revere thee, to walk in thy ways, all the days which they shall be living upon the face of the soil,—which thou gavest unto their fathers?

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

32Moreover also, unto the stranger who is not, of thy people Israel, but he shall come in out of a far country—for the sake of thy great Name, and of thy strong hand, and of thine outstretched arm,—and so they shall come in and pray towards this house,

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

33then wilt, thou thyself, hear out of the heavens, out of the settled place of thine abode, and do according to all for which the stranger shall cry unto thee,—to the end that all the peoples of the earth may know thy Name, so as to revere thee like thy people Israel, and know that, thy Name, hath been given unto this house, which I have built?

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

34When thy people shall go forth to war against their enemies, whithersoever thou mayest send them,—and shall pray unto thee in the direction of this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy Name,

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

35then wilt thou hear, out of the heavens, their prayer and their supplication,—and maintain their right.

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

36When they sin against thee—for there is no son of earth who sinneth not—and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them up before an enemy,—who shall carry them away as their captives into a land—far away or near;

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

37and they come back to their right mind, in the land whither they have been taken captive,—and so turn and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and been lawless;—

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

38and so turn unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive,—and shall pray in the direction of their own land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city which thou hast chosen, and unto 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 wilt thou hear out of the heavens—out of the settled place of thine abode—their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause,—and forgive thy people, that wherein they sinned against thee?
