Page 1 / 3 (2Ch 1:3–2Ch 14:14)
Solomon and the whole assembly with him went to the high place that was in Gibeon because God’s tent of meeting, which the LORD’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness, was there.
God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart, and you have not requested riches, wealth, or glory, or for the life of those who hate you, and you have not even requested long life, but you have requested for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may judge my people over whom I have made you king,
“wisdom and knowledge are given to you. I will also give you riches, wealth, and glory, unlike what was given to the kings who were before you, or will be given to those after you.”
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
And the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark so that the cherubim formed a cover above the ark and its poles.
The poles were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place[fn] in front of the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen from outside; they are still there today.
Now all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves regardless of their divisions. When the priests came out of the holy place,
The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the LORD with one voice. They raised their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the LORD:
For he is good;
his faithful love endures forever.
The temple, the LORD’s temple, was filled with a cloud.
“Since the day I brought my people Israel
out of the land of Egypt,
I have not chosen a city to build a temple in
among any of the tribes of Israel,
so that my name would be there,
and I have not chosen a man
to be ruler over my people Israel.
“But I have chosen Jerusalem
so that my name will be there,
and I have chosen David
to be over my people Israel.”
My father David had his heart set
on building a temple for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
However, the LORD said to my father David,
“Since it was your desire to build a temple for my name,
you have done well to have this desire.
so that your eyes watch over this temple
day and night,
toward the place where you said
you would put your name;
and so that you may hear the prayer
your servant prays toward this place.
When the skies are shut and there is no rain
because they have sinned against you,
and they pray toward this place
and praise your name,
and they turn from their sins
because you are afflicting[fn] them,
every prayer or petition
that any person or that all your people Israel may have —
they each know their own affliction[fn] and suffering —
as they spread out their hands toward this temple,
Now, my God,
please let your eyes be open
and your ears attentive
to the prayer of this place.
If I shut the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the grasshopper to consume the land, or if I send pestilence on my people,
And I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that my name may be there forever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.
As for this temple, which was exalted, everyone who passes by will be appalled and will say, “Why did the LORD do this to this land and this temple?”
At the end of twenty years during which Solomon had built the LORD’s temple and his own palace —
Baalath, all the storage cities that belonged to Solomon, all the chariot cities, the cavalry cities, and everything Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, or anywhere else in the land of his dominion.
The queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame, so she came to test Solomon with difficult questions at Jerusalem with a very large entourage, with camels bearing spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. She came to Solomon and spoke with him about everything that was on her mind.
the food at his table, his servants’ residence, his attendants’ service and their attire, his cupbearers and their attire, and the burnt offerings he offered at the LORD’s temple, it took her breath away.
“Blessed be the LORD your God! He delighted in you and put you on his throne as king for the LORD your God. Because your God loved Israel enough to establish them forever, he has set you over them as king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
Then she gave the king four and a half tons[fn] of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There never were such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. He stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines and as far as the border of Egypt.
When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about it — for he was in Egypt where he had fled from King Solomon’s presence — Jeroboam returned from Egypt.
Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had attended his father Solomon when he was alive, asking, “How do you advise me to respond to this people? ”
They replied, “If you will be kind to this people and please them by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
The king did not listen to the people because the turn of events came from God, in order that the LORD might carry out his word that he had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
“‘This is what the LORD says: You are not to march up and fight against your brothers. Each of you return home, for this incident has come from me.’ ”
So they listened to what the LORD said and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
He also put large shields and spears in each and every city to make them very strong. So Judah and Benjamin were his.
When Rehoboam had established his sovereignty and royal power, he abandoned the law of the LORD — he and all Israel with him.
Because they were unfaithful to the LORD, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, King Shishak of Egypt went to war against Jerusalem
When the LORD saw that they had humbled themselves, the LORD’s message came to Shemaiah: “They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them but will grant them a little deliverance. My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem through Shishak.
“However, they will become his servants so that they may recognize the difference between serving me and serving the kingdoms of other lands.”
Whenever the king entered the LORD’s temple, the guards would carry the shields and take them back to the armory.[fn]
When Rehoboam humbled himself, the LORD’s anger turned away from him, and he did not destroy him completely. Besides that, conditions were good in Judah.
and he reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah[fn] daughter of Uriel; she was from Gibeah.
There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
“Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when Rehoboam was young, inexperienced, and unable to assert himself against them.
“Didn’t you banish the priests of the LORD, the descendants of Aaron and the Levites, and make your own priests like the peoples of other lands do? Whoever comes to ordain himself with a young bull and seven rams may become a priest of what are not gods.
Now Jeroboam had sent an ambush around to advance from behind them. So they were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. When the men of Judah raised the battle cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah bearing large shields and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand from Benjamin bearing regular shields and drawing the bow. All these were valiant warriors.
