This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.\nVerse 2:5: And the house which I build is great; for great is our God above all gods.\nVerse 2:6: But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?\nVerse 2:7: Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that knoweth how to grave all manner of gravings, to be with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.\nVerse 2:8: Send me also cedar-trees, fir-trees, and algum-trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. And, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,\nVerse 2:9: even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.\nVerse 2:10: And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.\nVerse 2:11: Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because Jehovah loveth his people, he hath made thee king over them.\nVerse 2:12: Huram said moreover, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.\nVerse 2:13: And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,\nVerse 2:14: the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any device; that there may be a place appointed unto him with thy skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David thy father.\nVerse 2:15: Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:\nVerse 2:16: and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.\nVerse 2:17: And Solomon numbered all the sojourners that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.\nVerse 2:18: And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people at work.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 3\n\nVerse 3:1: Then Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on mount Moriah, where Jehovah appeared unto David his father, which he made ready in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.\nVerse 3:2: And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.\nVerse 3:3: Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.\nVerse 3:4: And the porch that was before the house, the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.\nVerse 3:5: And the greater house he ceiled with fir-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm-trees and chains.\nVerse 3:6: And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.\nVerse 3:7: He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubim on the walls.\nVerse 3:8: And he made the most holy house: the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.\nVerse 3:9: And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.\nVerse 3:10: And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold.\nVerse 3:11: And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.\nVerse 3:12: And the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.\nVerse 3:13: The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house.\nVerse 3:14: And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon.\nVerse 3:15: Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.\nVerse 3:16: And he made chains in the oracle, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.\nVerse 3:17: And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 4\n\nVerse 4:1: Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.\nVerse 4:2: Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass; and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.\nVerse 4:3: And under it was the likeness of oxen, which did compass it round about, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast.\nVerse 4:4: It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.\nVerse 4:5: And it was a handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths.\nVerse 4:6: He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt-offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.\nVerse 4:7: And he made the ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.\nVerse 4:8: He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.\nVerse 4:9: Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.\nVerse 4:10: And he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.\nVerse 4:11: And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram made an end of doing the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:\nVerse 4:12: the two pillars, and the bowls, and the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,\nVerse 4:13: and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars.\nVerse 4:14: He made also the bases, and the lavers made he upon the bases;\nVerse 4:15: one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.\nVerse 4:16: The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels thereof, did Huram his father make for king Solomon, for the house of Jehovah, of bright brass.\nVerse 4:17: In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.\nVerse 4:18: Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.\nVerse 4:19: And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon was the showbread;\nVerse 4:20: and the candlesticks with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold;\nVerse 4:21: and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold;\nVerse 4:22: and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold. And as for the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple, were of gold.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 5\n\nVerse 5:1: Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of Jehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.\nVerse 5:2: Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ houses of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.\nVerse 5:3: And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.\nVerse 5:4: And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;\nVerse 5:5: and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did the priests the Levites bring up.\nVerse 5:6: And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.\nVerse 5:7: And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.\nVerse 5:8: For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.\nVerse 5:9: And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there it is unto this day.\nVerse 5:10: There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.\nVerse 5:11: And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place (for all the priests that were present had sanctified themselves, and did not keep their courses;\nVerse 5:12: also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets);\nVerse 5:13: it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Jehovah, saying, For he is good; for his lovingkindness endureth for ever; that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Jehovah,\nVerse 5:14: so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of God.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 6\n\nVerse 6:1: Then spake Solomon, Jehovah hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.\nVerse 6:2: But I have built thee a house of habitation, and a place for thee to dwell in for ever.\nVerse 6:3: And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.\nVerse 6:4: And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying,\nVerse 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; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel:\nVerse 6:6: but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.\nVerse 6:7: Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.\nVerse 6:8: But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:\nVerse 6:9: nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.\nVerse 6:10: And Jehovah hath performed his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.\nVerse 6:11: And there have I set the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the children of Israel.\nVerse 6:12: And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands\nVerse 6:13: (for Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, 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 down upon his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven);\nVerse 6:14: and he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven, or on earth; who keepest covenant and lovingkindness with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their heart;\nVerse 6:15: who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.\nVerse 6:16: Now therefore, O Jehovah, the 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 on the throne of Israel, if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as thou hast walked before me.\nVerse 6:17: Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David.\nVerse 6:18: But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have builded!\nVerse 6:19: Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee;\nVerse 6:20: that thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.\nVerse 6:21: And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou from thy dwelling-place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.\nVerse 6:22: If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come and swear before thine altar in this house;\nVerse 6:23: then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.\nVerse 6:24: And if thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;\nVerse 6:25: then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.\nVerse 6:26: When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them:\nVerse 6:27: then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.\nVerse 6:28: If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague or whatsoever sickness there be;\nVerse 6:29: what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:\nVerse 6:30: then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men);\nVerse 6:31: that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.\nVerse 6:32: Moreover concerning the foreigner, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thine outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house:\nVerse 6:33: then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.\nVerse 6:34: If thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;\nVerse 6:35: then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.\nVerse 6:36: If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto a land far off or near;\nVerse 6:37: yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;\nVerse 6:38: if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:\nVerse 6:39: then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.\nVerse 6:40: Now, O my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place.\nVerse 6:41: Now therefore arise, O Jehovah God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.\nVerse 6:42: O Jehovah God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember thy lovingkindnesses to David thy servant.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 7\n\nVerse 7:1: Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house.\nVerse 7:2: And the priests could not enter into the house of Jehovah, because the glory of Jehovah filled Jehovah’s house.\nVerse 7:3: And all the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah was upon the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and gave thanks unto Jehovah, saying, For he is good; for his lovingkindness endureth for ever.\nVerse 7:4: Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Jehovah.\nVerse 7:5: And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.\nVerse 7:6: And the priests stood, according to their offices; the Levites also with instruments of music of Jehovah, which David the king had made to give thanks unto Jehovah (for his lovingkindness endureth for ever), when David praised by their ministry: and the priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.\nVerse 7:7: Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat.\nVerse 7:8: So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt.\nVerse 7:9: And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.\nVerse 7:10: And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Jehovah had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.\nVerse 7:11: Thus Solomon finished the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.\nVerse 7:12: And Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.\nVerse 7:13: If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;\nVerse 7:14: if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.\nVerse 7:15: Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent, unto the prayer that is made in this place.\nVerse 7:16: For now have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.\nVerse 7:17: And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;\nVerse 7:18: then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.\nVerse 7:19: But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;\nVerse 7:20: then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.\nVerse 7:21: And this house, which is so high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall say, Why hath Jehovah done thus unto this land, and to this house?\nVerse 7:22: And they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 8\n\nVerse 8:1: And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of Jehovah, and his own house,\nVerse 8:2: that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.\nVerse 8:3: And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.\nVerse 8:4: And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, which he built in Hamath.\nVerse 8:5: Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;\nVerse 8:6: and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.\nVerse 8:7: As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, that were not of Israel;\nVerse 8:8: of their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants unto this day.\nVerse 8:9: But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.\nVerse 8:10: And these were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.\nVerse 8:11: And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of Jehovah hath come.\nVerse 8:12: Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah, which he had built before the porch,\nVerse 8:13: even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.\nVerse 8:14: And he appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.\nVerse 8:15: And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.\nVerse 8:16: Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, and until it was finished.

And the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.\nVerse 12:4: And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem.\nVerse 12:5: Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, Ye have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.\nVerse 12:6: Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.\nVerse 12:7: And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.\nVerse 12:8: Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.\nVerse 12:9: So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house: he took all away: he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.\nVerse 12:10: And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king’s house.\nVerse 12:11: And it was so, that, as oft as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the guard came and bare them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.\nVerse 12:12: And when he humbled himself, the wrath of Jehovah turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found.\nVerse 12:13: So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.\nVerse 12:14: And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek Jehovah.\nVerse 12:15: Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.\nVerse 12:16: And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 13\n\nVerse 13:1: In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.\nVerse 13:2: Three years reigned he in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.

O children of Israel, fight ye not against Jehovah, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.\nVerse 13:13: But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.\nVerse 13:14: And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto Jehovah, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.\nVerse 13:15: Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.\nVerse 13:16: And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.\nVerse 13:17: And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.\nVerse 13:18: Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon Jehovah, the God of their fathers.\nVerse 13:19: And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephron with the towns thereof.\nVerse 13:20: Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and Jehovah smote him, and he died.\nVerse 13:21: But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.\nVerse 13:22: And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 14\n\nVerse 14:1: So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.\nVerse 14:2: And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God:\nVerse 14:3: for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,\nVerse 14:4: and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.\nVerse 14:5: Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.\nVerse 14:6: And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Jehovah had given him rest.\nVerse 14:7: For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.\nVerse 14:8: And Asa had an army that bare bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.\nVerse 14:9: And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.\nVerse 14:10: Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.\nVerse 14:11: And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, there is none besides thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength: help us, O Jehovah our God; for we rely on thee, and in thy name are we come against this multitude. O Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.\nVerse 14:12: So Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.\nVerse 14:13: And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Jehovah, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty.\nVerse 14:14: And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Jehovah came upon them: and they despoiled all the cities;

for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and Jehovah gave them rest round about.\nVerse 15:16: And also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.\nVerse 15:17: But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.\nVerse 15:18: And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.\nVerse 15:19: And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 16\n\nVerse 16:1: In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.\nVerse 16:2: Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,\nVerse 16:3: There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.\nVerse 16:4: And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.\nVerse 16:5: And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.\nVerse 16:6: Then Asa the king took all Judah;

So the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order.\nVerse 29:36: And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 30\n\nVerse 30:1: And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel.\nVerse 30:2: For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.\nVerse 30:3: For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.\nVerse 30:4: And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.\nVerse 30:5: So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.\nVerse 30:6: So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.\nVerse 30:7: And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.\nVerse 30:8: Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto Jehovah, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve Jehovah your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.\nVerse 30:9: For if ye turn again unto Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.\nVerse 30:10: So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.\nVerse 30:11: Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.\nVerse 30:12: Also upon Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of Jehovah.\nVerse 30:13: And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.\nVerse 30:14: And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.\nVerse 30:15: Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah.\nVerse 30:16: And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of the hand of the Levites.\nVerse 30:17: For there were many in the assembly that had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto Jehovah.\nVerse 30:18: For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good Jehovah pardon every one\nVerse 30:19: that setteth his heart to seek God, Jehovah, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.\nVerse 30:20: And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.\nVerse 30:21: And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, singing with loud instruments unto Jehovah.\nVerse 30:22: And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that had good understanding in the service of Jehovah. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, the God of their fathers.\nVerse 30:23: And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept other seven days with gladness.\nVerse 30:24: For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the assembly for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.\nVerse 30:25: And all the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.\nVerse 30:26: So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.\nVerse 30:27: Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even unto heaven.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 31\n\nVerse 31:1: Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.\nVerse 31:2: And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of Jehovah.\nVerse 31:3: He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.\nVerse 31:4: Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of Jehovah.\nVerse 31:5: And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first-fruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.\nVerse 31:6: And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated unto Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps.\nVerse 31:7: In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.\nVerse 31:8: And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel.\nVerse 31:9: Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.\nVerse 31:10: And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since the people began to bring the oblations into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for Jehovah hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.\nVerse 31:11: Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared them;\nVerse 31:12: and they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully.

Domus enim quam cupio ædificare, magna est nimis, et inclyta.\nVerse 2:10: Præterea operariis qui cæsuri sunt ligna, servis tuis, dabo in cibaria tritici coros viginti millia, et hordei coros totidem, et vini viginti millia metretas, olei quoque sata viginti millia.\nVerse 2:11: Dixit autem Hiram rex Tyri per litteras quas miserat Salomoni: Quia dilexit Dominus populum suum, idcirco te regnare fecit super eum.\nVerse 2:12: Et addidit, dicens: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui fecit cælum et terram: qui dedit David regi filium sapientem et eruditum et sensatum atque prudentem, ut ædificaret domum Domino, et palatium sibi.\nVerse 2:13: Misi ergo tibi virum prudentem et scientissimum Hiram patrem meum,\nVerse 2:14: filium mulieris de filiabus Dan, cujus pater fuit Tyrius, qui novit operari in auro, et argento, ære, et ferro, et marmore, et lignis, in purpura quoque, et hyacintho, et bysso, et coccino: et qui scit cælare omnem sculpturam, et adinvenire prudenter quodcumque in opere necessarium est cum artificibus tuis, et cum artificibus domini mei David patris tui.\nVerse 2:15: Triticum ergo, et hordeum, et oleum, et vinum, quæ pollicitus es, domine mi, mitte servis tuis.\nVerse 2:16: Nos autem cædemus ligna de Libano, quot necessaria habueris, et applicabimus ea ratibus per mare in Joppe: tuum autem erit transferre ea in Jerusalem.\nVerse 2:17: Numeravit igitur Salomon omnes viros proselytos qui erant in terra Israël, post dinumerationem quam dinumeravit David pater ejus, et inventi sunt centum quinquaginta millia, et tria millia sexcenti.\nVerse 2:18: Fecitque ex eis septuaginta millia qui humeris onera portarent, et octoginta millia qui lapides in montibus cæderent: tria autem millia et sexcentos præpositos operum populi.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 3\n\nVerse 3:1: Et cœpit Salomon ædificare domum Domini in Jerusalem in monte Moria, qui demonstratus fuerat David patri ejus, in loco quem paraverat David in area Ornan Jebusæi.\nVerse 3:2: Cœpit autem ædificare mense secundo, anno quarto regni sui.\nVerse 3:3: Et hæc sunt fundamenta quæ jecit Salomon, ut ædificaret domum Dei: longitudinis cubitos in mensura prima sexaginta, latitudinis cubitos viginti.\nVerse 3:4: Porticum vero ante frontem, quæ tendebatur in longum juxta mensuram latitudinis domus, cubitorum viginti: porro altitudo centum viginti cubitorum erat: et deauravit eam intrinsecus auro mundissimo.\nVerse 3:5: Domum quoque majorem texit tabulis ligneis abiegnis, et laminas auri obrizi affixit per totum: sculpsitque in ea palmas, et quasi catenulas se invicem complectentes.\nVerse 3:6: Stravit quoque pavimentum templi pretiosissimo marmore, decore multo.\nVerse 3:7: Porro aurum erat probatissimum, de cujus laminis texit domum, et trabes ejus, et postes, et parietes, et ostia: et cælavit cherubim in parietibus.\nVerse 3:8: Fecit quoque domum Sancti sanctorum: longitudinem juxta latitudinem domus cubitorum viginti: et latitudinem similiter viginti cubitorum: et laminis aureis texit eam, quasi talentis sexcentis.\nVerse 3:9: Sed et clavos fecit aureos, ita ut singuli clavi siclos quinquagenos appenderent: cœnacula quoque texit auro.\nVerse 3:10: Fecit etiam in domo Sancti sanctorum cherubim duos, opere statuario: et texit eos auro.\nVerse 3:11: Alæ cherubim viginti cubitis extendebantur, ita ut una ala haberet cubitos quinque et tangeret parietem domus: et altera quinque cubitos habens, alam tangeret alterius cherub.\nVerse 3:12: Similiter cherub alterius ala, quinque habebat cubitos, et tangebat parietem: et ala ejus altera quinque cubitorum, alam cherub alterius contingebat.\nVerse 3:13: Igitur alæ utriusque cherubim expansæ erant et extendebantur per cubitos viginti: ipsi autem stabant erectis pedibus, et facies eorum erant versæ ad exteriorem domum.\nVerse 3:14: Fecit quoque velum ex hyacintho, purpura, cocco, et bysso: et intexuit ei cherubim.\nVerse 3:15: Ante fores etiam templi duas columnas, quæ triginta et quinque cubitos habebant altitudinis: porro capita earum, quinque cubitorum.\nVerse 3:16: Necnon et quasi catenulas in oraculo, et superposuit eas capitibus columnarum: malogranata etiam centum, quæ catenulis interposuit.\nVerse 3:17: Ipsas quoque columnas posuit in vestibulo templi, unam a dextris, et alteram a sinistris: eam quæ a dextris erat, vocavit Jachin: et quæ ad lævam, Booz.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 4\n\nVerse 4:1: Fecit quoque altare æneum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis.\nVerse 4:2: Mare etiam fusile decem cubitis a labio usque ad labium, rotundum per circuitum: quinque cubitos habebat altitudinis, et funiculus triginta cubitorum ambiebat gyrum ejus.\nVerse 4:3: Similitudo quoque boum erat subter illud, et decem cubitis quædam extrinsecus cælaturæ, quasi duobus versibus alvum maris circuibant. Boves autem erant fusiles:\nVerse 4:4: et ipsum mare super duodecim boves impositum erat, quorum tres respiciebant ad aquilonem, et alii tres ad occidentem: porro tres alii meridiem, et tres qui reliqui erant, orientem, habentes mare superpositum: posteriora autem boum erant intrinsecus sub mari.\nVerse 4:5: Porro vastitas ejus habebat mensuram palmi, et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis, vel repandi lilii: capiebatque tria millia metretas.\nVerse 4:6: Fecit quoque conchas decem: et posuit quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris, ut lavarent in eis omnia quæ in holocaustum oblaturi erant: porro in mari sacerdotes lavabantur.\nVerse 4:7: Fecit autem et candelabra aurea decem secundum speciem qua jussa erant fieri: et posuit ea in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris.\nVerse 4:8: Necnon et mensas decem: et posuit eas in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris: phialas quoque aureas centum.\nVerse 4:9: Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem: et ostia in basilica, quæ texit ære.\nVerse 4:10: Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra orientem ad meridiem.\nVerse 4:11: Fecit autem Hiram lebetes, et creagras, et phialas: et complevit omne opus regis in domo Dei:\nVerse 4:12: hoc est, columnas duas, et epistylia, et capita, et quasi quædam retiacula, quæ capita tegerent super epistylia.\nVerse 4:13: Malogranata quoque quadringenta, et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malogranatorum singulis retiaculis jungerentur, quæ protegerent epistylia, et capita columnarum.\nVerse 4:14: Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus:\nVerse 4:15: mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari,\nVerse 4:16: et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater ejus in domo Domini ex ære mundissimo.\nVerse 4:17: In regione Jordanis, fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot et Saredatha.\nVerse 4:18: Erat autem multitudo vasorum innumerabilis, ita ut ignoraretur pondus æris.\nVerse 4:19: Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa domus Dei, et altare aureum, et mensas, et super eas panes propositionis:\nVerse 4:20: candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum juxta ritum ex auro purissimo:\nVerse 4:21: et florentia quædam, et lucernas, et forcipes aureos: omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt.\nVerse 4:22: Thymiateria quoque, et thuribula, et phialas, et mortariola ex auro purissimo.

Porro vasa sanctuarii, quæ erant in tabernaculo, portaverunt sacerdotes cum Levitis.\nVerse 5:6: Rex autem Salomon, et universus cœtus Israël, et omnes qui fuerunt congregati ante arcam, immolabant arietes et boves absque ullo numero: tanta enim erat multitudo victimarum.\nVerse 5:7: Et intulerunt sacerdotes arcam fœderis Domini in locum suum, id est, ad oraculum templi, in Sancta sanctorum subter alas cherubim:\nVerse 5:8: ita ut cherubim expanderent alas suas super locum in quo posita erat arca, et ipsam arcam tegerent cum vectibus suis.\nVerse 5:9: Vectium autem quibus portabatur arca, quia paululum longiores erant, capita parebant ante oraculum: si vero quis paululum fuisset extrinsecus, eos videre non poterat. Fuit itaque arca ibi usque in præsentem diem.\nVerse 5:10: Nihilque erat aliud in arca, nisi duæ tabulæ quas posuerat Moyses in Horeb, quando legem dedit Dominus filiis Israël egredientibus ex Ægypto.\nVerse 5:11: Egressis autem sacerdotibus de sanctuario (omnes enim sacerdotes qui ibi potuerant inveniri, sanctificati sunt: nec adhuc in illo tempore vices et ministeriorum ordo inter eos divisus erat),\nVerse 5:12: tam Levitæ quam cantores, id est, et qui sub Asaph erant, et qui sub Eman, et qui sub Idithun, filii et fratres eorum vestiti byssinis, cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis concrepabant, stantes ad orientalem plagam altaris: et cum eis sacerdotes centum viginti canentes tubis.\nVerse 5:13: Igitur cunctis pariter, et tubis, et voce, et cymbalis, et organis, et diversi generis musicorum concinentibus, et vocem in sublime tollentibus, longe sonitus audiebatur, ita ut cum Dominum laudare cœpissent et dicere: Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus: impleretur domus Dei nube,\nVerse 5:14: nec possent sacerdotes stare et ministrare propter caliginem. Compleverat enim gloria Domini domum Dei.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 6\n\nVerse 6:1: Tunc Salomon ait: Dominus pollicitus est ut habitaret in caligine:\nVerse 6:2: ego autem ædificavi domum nomini ejus, ut habitaret ibi in perpetuum.\nVerse 6:3: Et convertit rex faciem suam, et benedixit universæ multitudini Israël (nam omnis turba stabat intenta), et ait:\nVerse 6:4: Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, qui quod locutus est David patri meo, opere complevit, dicens:\nVerse 6:5: A die qua eduxi populum meum de terra Ægypti, non elegi civitatem de cunctis tribubus Israël ut ædificaretur in ea domus nomini meo, neque elegi quemquam alium virum ut esset dux in populo Israël:\nVerse 6:6: sed elegi Jerusalem ut sit nomen meum in ea, et elegi David ut constituerem eum super populum meum Israël.\nVerse 6:7: Cumque fuisset voluntatis David patris mei ut ædificaret domum nomini Domini Dei Israël,\nVerse 6:8: dixit Dominus ad eum: Quia hæc fuit voluntas tua, ut ædificares domum nomini meo, bene quidem fecisti hujuscemodi habere voluntatem:\nVerse 6:9: sed non tu ædificabis domum: verum filius tuus, qui egredietur de lumbis tuis, ipse ædificabit domum nomini meo.\nVerse 6:10: Complevit ergo Dominus sermonem suum quem locutus fuerat: et ego surrexi pro David patre meo, et sedi super thronum Israël, sicut locutus est Dominus: et ædificavi domum nomini Domini Dei Israël.\nVerse 6:11: Et posui in ea arcam in qua est pactum Domini quod pepigit cum filiis Israël.\nVerse 6:12: Stetit ergo coram altari Domini ex adverso universæ multitudinis Israël, et extendit manus suas.\nVerse 6:13: Siquidem fecerat Salomon basim æneam, et posuerat eam in medio basilicæ, habentem quinque cubitos longitudinis, et quinque cubitos latitudinis, et tres cubitos altitudinis: stetitque super eam, et deinceps flexis genibus contra universam multitudinem Israël, et palmis in cælum levatis,\nVerse 6:14: ait: Domine Deus Israël, non est similis tui deus in cælo et in terra: qui custodis pactum et misericordiam cum servis tuis qui ambulant coram te in toto corde suo:\nVerse 6:15: qui præstitisti servo tuo David patri meo quæcumque locutus fueras ei: et quæ ore promiseras, opere complesti, sicut et præsens tempus probat.\nVerse 6:16: Nunc ergo Domine Deus Israël, imple servo tuo patri meo David quæcumque locutus es, dicens: Non deficiet ex te vir coram me, qui sedeat super thronum Israël: ita tamen si custodierint filii tui vias suas, et ambulaverint in lege mea, sicut et tu ambulasti coram me.\nVerse 6:17: Et nunc Domine Deus Israël, firmetur sermo tuus quem locutus es servo tuo David.\nVerse 6:18: Ergone credibile est ut habitet Deus cum hominibus super terram? si cælum et cæli cælorum non te capiunt, quanto magis domus ista quam ædificavi?\nVerse 6:19: Sed ad hoc tantum facta est, ut respicias orationem servi tui, et obsecrationem ejus, Domine Deus meus, et audias preces quas fundit famulus tuus coram te:\nVerse 6:20: ut aperias oculos tuos super domum istam diebus ac noctibus, super locum in quo pollicitus es ut invocaretur nomen tuum,\nVerse 6:21: et exaudires orationem quam servus tuus orat in eo: et exaudias preces famuli tui, et populi tui Israël. Quicumque oraverit in loco isto, exaudi de habitaculo tuo, id est, de cælis, et propitiare.\nVerse 6:22: Si peccaverit quispiam in proximum suum, et jurare contra eum paratus venerit, seque maledicto constrinxerit coram altari in domo ista:\nVerse 6:23: tu audies de cælo, et facies judicium servorum tuorum, ita ut reddas iniquo viam suam in caput proprium, et ulciscaris justum, retribuens ei secundum justitiam suam.\nVerse 6:24: Si superatus fuerit populus tuus Israël ab inimicis (peccabunt enim tibi), et conversi egerint pœnitentiam, et obsecraverint nomen tuum, et fuerint deprecati in loco isto,\nVerse 6:25: tu exaudies de cælo: et propitiare peccato populi tui Israël, et reduc eos in terram quam dedisti eis, et patribus eorum.\nVerse 6:26: Si clauso cælo pluvia non fluxerit propter peccata populi, et deprecati te fuerint in loco isto, et confessi nomini tuo, et conversi a peccatis suis, cum eos afflixeris,\nVerse 6:27: exaudi de cælo, Domine, et dimitte peccata servis tuis et populi tui Israël, et doce eos viam bonam, per quam ingrediantur: et da pluviam terræ quam dedisti populo tuo ad possidendum.\nVerse 6:28: Fames si orta fuerit in terra, et pestilentia, ærugo, et aurugo, et locusta, et bruchus: et hostes, vastatis regionibus, portas obsederint civitatis, omnisque plaga et infirmitas presserit:\nVerse 6:29: si quis de populo tuo Israël fuerit deprecatus, cognoscens plagam et infirmitatem suam, et expanderit manus suas in domo hac,\nVerse 6:30: tu exaudies de cælo, de sublimi scilicet habitaculo tuo: et propitiare, et redde unicuique secundum vias suas, quas nosti eum habere in corde suo (tu enim solus nosti corda filiorum hominum):\nVerse 6:31: ut timeant te, et ambulent in viis tuis cunctis diebus quibus vivunt super faciem terræ quam dedisti patribus nostris.\nVerse 6:32: Externum quoque, qui non est de populo tuo Israël, si venerit de terra longinqua propter nomen tuum magnum, et propter manum tuam robustam, et brachium tuum extentum, et adoraverit in loco isto,\nVerse 6:33: tu exaudies de cælo firmissimo habitaculo tuo, et facies cuncta pro quibus invocaverit te ille peregrinus: ut sciant omnes populi terræ nomen tuum, et timeant te sicut populus tuus Israël, et cognoscant quia nomen tuum invocatum est super domum hanc quam ædificavi.\nVerse 6:34: Si egressus fuerit populus tuus ad bellum contra adversarios suos per viam in qua miseris eos, adorabunt te contra viam in qua civitas hæc est, quam elegisti, et domus quam ædificavi nomini tuo,\nVerse 6:35: tu exaudies de cælo preces eorum, et obsecrationem: et ulciscaris.\nVerse 6:36: Si autem peccaverint tibi (neque enim est homo qui non peccet), et iratus fueris eis, et tradideris hostibus, et captivos duxerint eos in terram longinquam, vel certe quæ juxta est,\nVerse 6:37: et conversi in corde suo in terra ad quam captivi ducti fuerant, egerint pœnitentiam, et deprecati te fuerint in terra captivitatis suæ, dicentes: Peccavimus: inique fecimus, injuste egimus:\nVerse 6:38: et reversi fuerint ad te in toto corde suo, et in tota anima sua, in terra captivitatis suæ ad quam ducti sunt, adorabunt te contra viam terræ suæ, quam dedisti patribus eorum, et urbis quam

corruentes proni in terram super pavimentum stratum lapide, adoraverunt, et laudaverunt Dominum, quoniam bonus, quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus.\nVerse 7:4: Rex autem et omnis populus immolabant victimas coram Domino.\nVerse 7:5: Mactavit igitur rex Salomon hostias, boum viginti duo millia, arietum centum viginti millia: et dedicavit domum Dei rex, et universus populus.\nVerse 7:6: Sacerdotes autem stabant in officiis suis, et Levitæ in organis carminum Domini, quæ fecit David rex ad laudandum Dominum: Quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus, hymnos David canentes per manus suas: porro sacerdotes canebant tubis ante eos, cunctusque Israël stabat.\nVerse 7:7: Sanctificavit quoque Salomon medium atrii ante templum Domini: obtulerat enim ibi holocausta et adipes pacificorum: quia altare æneum quod fecerat, non poterat sustinere holocausta et sacrificia et adipes.\nVerse 7:8: Fecit ergo Salomon solemnitatem in tempore illo septem diebus, et omnis Israël cum eo, ecclesia magna valde, ab introitu Emath usque ad torrentem Ægypti.\nVerse 7:9: Fecitque die octavo collectam, eo quod dedicasset altare septem diebus, et solemnitatem celebrasset diebus septem.\nVerse 7:10: Igitur in die vigesimo tertio mensis septimi, dimisit populos ad tabernacula sua, lætantes atque gaudentes super bono quod fecerat Dominus Davidi, et Salomoni, et Israëli populo suo.\nVerse 7:11: Complevitque Salomon domum Domini, et domum regis, et omnia quæ disposuerat in corde suo ut faceret in domo Domini, et in domo sua, et prosperatus est.\nVerse 7:12: Apparuit autem ei Dominus nocte, et ait: Audivi orationem tuam, et elegi locum istum mihi in domum sacrificii.\nVerse 7:13: Si clausero cælum, et pluvia non fluxerit, et mandavero et præcepero locustæ ut devoret terram, et misero pestilentiam in populum meum:\nVerse 7:14: conversus autem populus meus, super quos invocatum est nomen meum, deprecatus me fuerit, et exquisierit faciem meam, et egerit pœnitentiam a viis suis pessimis: et ego exaudiam de cælo, et propitius ero peccatis eorum, et sanabo terram eorum.\nVerse 7:15: Oculi quoque mei erunt aperti, et aures meæ erectæ ad orationem ejus, qui in loco isto oraverit.\nVerse 7:16: Elegi enim, et sanctificavi locum istum, ut sit nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et permaneant oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.\nVerse 7:17: Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me, sicut ambulaverit David pater tuus, et feceris juxta omnia quæ præcepi tibi, et justitias meas judiciaque servaveris:\nVerse 7:18: suscitabo thronum regni tui, sicut pollicitus sum David patri tuo, dicens: Non auferetur de stirpe tua vir qui sit princeps in Israël.\nVerse 7:19: Si autem aversi fueritis, et dereliqueritis justitias meas, et præcepta mea quæ proposui vobis, et abeuntes servieritis diis alienis, et adoraveritis eos,\nVerse 7:20: evellam vos de terra mea quam dedi vobis: et domum hanc, quam sanctificavi nomini meo, projiciam a facie mea, et tradam eam in parabolam, et in exemplum cunctis populis.\nVerse 7:21: Et domus ista erit in proverbium universis transeuntibus, et dicent stupentes: Quare fecit Dominus sic terræ huic, et domui huic?\nVerse 7:22: Respondebuntque: Quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum patrum suorum, qui eduxit eos de terra Ægypti, et apprehenderunt deos alienos, et adoraverunt eos, et coluerunt: idcirco venerunt super eos universa hæc mala.\n\n### 2 Chronicles 8\n\nVerse 8:1: Expletis autem viginti annis postquam ædificavit Salomon domum Domini et domum suam,\nVerse 8:2: civitates quas dederat Hiram Salomoni, ædificavit, et

venerunt ad Helciam sacerdotem magnum: acceptamque ab eo pecuniam quæ illata fuerat in domum Domini, et quam congregaverant Levitæ, et janitores de Manasse, et Ephraim, et universis reliquiis Israël, ab omni quoque Juda, et Benjamin, et habitatoribus Jerusalem,\nVerse 34:10: tradiderunt in manibus eorum qui præerant operariis in domo Domini, ut instaurarent templum, et infirma quæque sarcirent.\nVerse 34:11: At illi dederunt eam artificibus et cæmentariis, ut emerent lapides de lapicidinis, et ligna ad commissuras ædificii, et ad contignationem domorum quas destruxerant reges

Retulerunt itaque regi cuncta quæ dixerat.\nVerse 34:29: At ille convocatis universis majoribus natu Juda et Jerusalem,\nVerse 34:30: ascendit in domum Domini, unaque omnes viri Juda et habitatores Jerusalem, sacerdotes et Levitæ, et cunctus populus a minimo usque ad maximum. Quibus audientibus in domo Domini, legit rex omnia verba voluminis:\nVerse 34:31: et stans in tribunali suo, percussit fœdus coram Domino ut ambularet post eum, et custodiret præcepta, et testimonia, et justificationes ejus in toto corde suo, et in tota anima sua, faceretque quæ scripta sunt in volumine illo, quod legerat.\nVerse 34:32: Adjuravit quoque super hoc omnes qui reperti fuerant in Jerusalem et Benjamin: et fecerunt habitatores Jerusalem juxta pactum Domini Dei patrum suorum.\nVerse 34:33: Abstulit ergo Josias cunctas abominationes de universis regionibus filiorum Israël: et fecit omnes qui residui erant in Israël, servire Domino Deo suo.
