Chronicles -- 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. {2}
Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and
five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round
about. {3} And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass
it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen
were cast, when it was cast. {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 above upon them,
and all their hinder parts were inward. {5} And the thickness of it
was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with
flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths. {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 they offered for the burnt offering they washed
in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. {7} And he made
ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple,
five on the right hand, and five on the left. {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 an hundred basons of gold. {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. {10} And he set the sea on the right
side of the east end, over against the south. {11} And Huram made the
pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was
to make for king Solomon for the house of God; {12} To wit, the two
pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars,
and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the
top of the pillars; {13} And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths;
two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters
which were upon the pillars. {14} He made also bases, and lavers made
he upon the bases; {15} One sea, and twelve oxen under it. {16}
The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments,
did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright
brass. {17} In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay
ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. {18} Thus Solomon made all these
vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
{19} And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the
golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set; {20}
Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner
before the oracle, of pure gold; {21} And the flowers, and the lamps,
and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold; {22} And the
snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the
entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors
of the house of the temple, were of gold. Second
Chronicles -- 5{1}
Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and
Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the
silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the
house of God. {2} Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and
all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel,
unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city
of David, which is Zion. {3} Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled
themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month. {4}
And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. {5}
And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the
holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites
bring up. {6} Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel
that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which
could not be told nor numbered for multitude. {7} And the priests brought
in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house,
into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims: {8}
For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the
cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. {9} And they
drew out the staves of the ark, 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. {10} There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses
put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel,
when they came out of Egypt. {11} And it came to pass, when the priests
were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified,
and did not then wait by course: {12} Also the Levites which were the
singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their
brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps,
stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests
sounding with trumpets:) {13} It came even to pass, as the trumpeters
and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking
the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and
instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy
endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house
of the LORD; {14} So that the priests could not stand to minister by
reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
Second Chronicles --
6{1} Then said
Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. {2}
But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling
for ever. {3} And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation
of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood. {4} And he said,
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which
he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying, {5} Since the day
that I brought forth my people out of 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: {6} But I have
chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over
my people Israel. {7} Now it was in the heart of David my father to
build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. {8} But the
LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house
for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart: {9} Notwithstanding
thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy
loins, he shall build the house for my name. {10} The LORD therefore
hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of
David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and
have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. {11} And
in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with
the children of Israel. {12} And he stood before the altar of the LORD
in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
{13} For 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 down upon his knees before all the congregation
of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven, {14} And said,
O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth;
which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before
thee with all their hearts: {15} Thou which hast kept with thy servant
David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth,
and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day. {16} Now
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; yet so that thy children take heed to their way
to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. {17} Now then, O
LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy
servant David. {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 built! {19} Have respect therefore to
the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken
unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee: {20}
That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof
thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer
which thy servant prayeth toward this place. {21} Hearken therefore
unto 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. {22} If a man sin against his neighbour,
and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine
altar in this house; {23} Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge
thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head;
and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
{24} And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before 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; {25} Then hear thou
from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again
unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers. {26}
When 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; {27} Then hear thou from heaven,
and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast
taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land,
which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance. {28} If there
be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew,
locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their
land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be: {29} Then what
prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people
Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread
forth his hands in this house: {30} Then hear thou from heaven thy
dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his
ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children
of men:) {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. {32} Moreover
concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a
far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched
out arm; if they come and pray in this house; {33} Then 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 doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built
is called by thy name. {34} If thy people go out to war against their
enemies by the way that 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;
{35} Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication,
and maintain their cause. {36} If they sin against thee, (for there
is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over
before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or
near; {37} Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they
are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity,
saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; {38}
If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land
of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their
land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast
chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: {39}
Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and
their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have
sinned against thee. {40} Now, 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.
{41} Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and
the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation,
and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. {42} O LORD God, turn not away
the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
