Page 1 / 4 (2Ch 2:1–2Ch 7:12)
Solomon decided to build a temple for the name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself,
Then Solomon sent word to King Hiram[fn] of Tyre:
Do for me what you did for my father David. You sent him cedars to build him a house to live in.
Now I am building a temple for the name of the LORD my God in order to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense before him, for displaying the rows of the Bread of the Presence continuously, and for sacrificing burnt offerings for the morning and the evening, the Sabbaths and the New Moons, and the appointed festivals of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel permanently.
The temple that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than any of the gods.
But who is able to build a temple for him, since even heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain him? Who am I then that I should build a temple for him except as a place to burn incense before him?
to prepare logs for me in abundance because the temple I am building will be great and wondrous.
Hiram also said:
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He gave King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
The portico, which was across the front extending across the width of the temple, was thirty feet wide; its height was thirty feet;[fn] he overlaid its inner surface with pure gold.
The larger room[fn] he paneled with cypress wood, overlaid with fine gold, and decorated with palm trees and chains.
He adorned the temple with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was the gold of Parvaim.
He overlaid the temple — the beams, the thresholds, its walls and doors — with gold, and he carved cherubim on the walls.
Then he made the most holy place; its length corresponded to the width of the temple, 30 feet, and its width was 30 feet. He overlaid it with forty-five thousand pounds[fn] of fine gold.
He made two cherubim of sculptured work, for the most holy place, and he overlaid them with gold.
The overall length of the wings of the cherubim was 30 feet: the wing of one was 7 1/2 feet,[fn] touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7 1/2 feet, touching the wing of the other cherub.
The wing of the other[fn] cherub was 7 1/2 feet, touching the wall of the room; its other wing was 7 1/2 feet, reaching the wing of the other cherub.
The wingspan of these cherubim was 30 feet. They stood on their feet and faced the larger room.[fn]
In front of the temple he made two pillars, each 27 feet[fn] high. The capital on top of each was 7 1/2 feet high.
It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The basin was on top of them and all their hindquarters were toward the center.
Then Huram[fn] made the pots, the shovels, and the bowls.
So Huram finished doing the work that he was doing for King Solomon in God’s temple:
the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all their utensils — Huram-abi[fn] made them for King Solomon for the LORD’s temple. All these were made of polished bronze.
Solomon also made all the equipment in God’s temple: the gold altar; the tables on which to put the Bread of the Presence;
the wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, ladles,[fn] and firepans — of purest gold; and the entryway to the temple, its inner doors to the most holy place, and the doors of the temple sanctuary — of gold.
So all the work Solomon did for the LORD’s temple was completed. Then Solomon brought the consecrated things of his father David — the silver, the gold, and all the utensils — and put them in the treasuries of God’s temple.
The priests brought the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the most holy place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.
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.
And because of the cloud, the priests were not able to continue ministering, for the glory of the LORD filled God’s temple.
“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.
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.
“Yet, you are not the one to build the temple,
but your son, your own offspring,
will build the temple for my name.”
So the LORD has fulfilled what he promised.
I have taken the place of my father David
and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised.
I have built the temple for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
But will God indeed live on earth with humans?
Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain you,
much less this temple I have built.
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.
If a man sins against his neighbor
and is forced to take an oath[fn]
and he comes to take an oath
before your altar in this temple,
If your people Israel are defeated before an enemy,
because they have sinned against you,
and they return to you and praise your name,
and they pray and plead for mercy
before you in this temple,
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,
Even for the foreigner who is not of your people Israel
but has come from a distant land
because of your great name
and your strong hand and outstretched arm:
when he comes and prays toward this temple,
may you hear in heaven in your dwelling place,
and do all the foreigner asks you.
Then all the peoples of the earth will know your name,
to fear you as your people Israel do
and know that this temple I have built
bears your name.
When your people go out to fight against their enemies,
wherever you send them,
and they pray to you
in the direction of this city you have chosen
and the temple that I have built for your name,
and when they return to you with all their mind and all their heart
in the land of their captivity where they were taken captive,
and when they pray in the direction of their land
that you gave their ancestors,
and the city you have chosen,
and toward the temple I have built for your name,
When Solomon finished praying, fire descended from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
The priests were not able to enter the LORD’s temple because the glory of the LORD filled the temple of the LORD.
All the Israelites were watching when the fire descended and the glory of the LORD came on the temple. They bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground. They worshiped and praised the LORD:
For he is good,
for his faithful love endures forever.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep and goats. In this manner the king and all the people dedicated God’s temple.
Since the bronze altar that Solomon had made could not accommodate the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the fat of the fellowship offerings, Solomon first consecrated the middle of the courtyard that was in front of the LORD’s temple and then offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings there.
So Solomon finished the LORD’s temple and the royal palace. Everything that had entered Solomon’s heart to do for the LORD’s temple and for his own palace succeeded.
