2 Chronicles 7 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Shekinah Glory

(1Ki 8:62–66 )

Now when Solomon^H8010 had finished^H3615 praying^H6419, fire^H784 came^H3381 down^H3381 from heaven^H8064 and consumed^H398 the burnt^H5930 offering^H5930 and the sacrifices^H2077, and the glory^H3519 of the LORD^H3068 filled^H4390 the house^H1004.

2Ch 7:2

2Ch 7:2And the priests could not enter the house of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled the LORD’S house.

2Ch 7:3

2Ch 7:3All the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of the LORD upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave praise to the LORD, saying, “Certainly He is good, certainly His faithfulness is everlasting.”

Sacrifices Offered

2Ch 7:4

Then the king^H4428 and all^H3605 the people^H5971 offered^H2076 sacrifice^H2077 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068.

2Ch 7:5

2Ch 7:5King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

2Ch 7:6

2Ch 7:6The priests stood at their posts, and the Levites also, with the musical instruments for the LORD, which King David had made for giving praise to the LORD—“for His faithfulness is everlasting”—whenever David gave praise through their [fn]ministry; the priests on the other side blew trumpets and all Israel was standing.

2Ch 7:7

Then Solomon^H8010 consecrated^H6942 the middle^H8432 of the courtyard^H2691 that was before^H6440 the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068, for he offered^H6213 the burnt^H5930 offerings^H5930 and the fat^H2459 of the peace^H8002 offerings^H8002 there^H8033, because^H3588 the bronze^H5178 altar^H4196 which^H834 Solomon^H8010 had made^H6213 was^H3201 not able^H3201 to contain^H3557 the burnt^H5930 offering^H5930, the grain offering^H4503, and the fat^H2459.

The Feast of Dedication

2Ch 7:8

So Solomon^H8010 held^H6213 the feast^H2282 at that time^H6256 for seven^H7651 days^H3117, and all^H3605 Israel^H3478 with him, a very^H3966 great^H1419 assembly^H6951 that came from the entrance^H935 of Hamath^H2574 to the brook^H5158 of Egypt^H4714.

2Ch 7:9

2Ch 7:9And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, because they held the dedication of the altar for seven days, and the feast for seven days.

2Ch 7:10

2Ch 7:10Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their tents, rejoicing and happy in heart because of the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, to Solomon, and to His people Israel.

God’s Promise and Warning

2Ch 7:11

So Solomon^H8010 finished^H3615 the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068 and the king’s^H4428 palace^H1004, and successfully^H6743 completed^H6743 everything^H3605 that [fn]he had planned^H935^H5921^H3820 on doing^H6213 in the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068 and in his palace^H1004.

(1Ki 9:1–9 )

2Ch 7:12

Then the LORD^H3068 appeared^H7200 to Solomon^H8010 at night^H3915 and said^H559 to him, “I have heard^H8085 your prayer^H8605 and have chosen^H977 this^H2088 place^H4725 for Myself as a house^H1004 of sacrifice^H2077.

2Ch 7:13

2Ch 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 a plague among My people,

2Ch 7:14

2Ch 7:14and My people [fn]who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2Ch 7:15

2Ch 7:15“Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the [fn]prayer offered in this place.

2Ch 7:16

2Ch 7:16“For now I have chosen and consecrated this house so that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there [fn]always.

2Ch 7:17

2Ch 7:17“As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, to do according to everything that I have commanded you, and keep My statutes and My ordinances,

2Ch 7:18

2Ch 7:18then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying, ‘[fn]You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.’

2Ch 7:19

“But if^H518 you turn^H7725 away^H7725 and abandon^H5800 My statutes^H2708 and My commandments^H4687 which^H834 I have set^H5414 before^H6440 you, and go^H1980 and serve^H5647 other^H312 gods^H430 and worship^H2331 them,

2Ch 7:20

2Ch 7:20then I will uproot [fn]you from My land which I have given [fn]you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight; and I will make it a proverb and an object of scorn among all peoples.

2Ch 7:21

2Ch 7:21“As for this house, which was exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done these things to this land and to this house?’

2Ch 7:22

2Ch 7:22“And they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods, and worshiped and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.’”
