1Kin 8-9 & 2Chr 6-7

1Kin 8:
[1Ki 8:1 KJV] 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 king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion.
[1Ki 8:2 KJV] And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month.
[1Ki 8:3 KJV] And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
[1Ki 8:4 KJV] And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
[1Ki 8:5 KJV] And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, [were] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
[1Ki 8:6 KJV] And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy [place, even] under the wings of the cherubims.
[1Ki 8:7 KJV] For the cherubims spread forth [their] two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
[1Ki 8:8 KJV] And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy [place] before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
[1Ki 8:9 KJV] [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
[1Ki 8:10 KJV] And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy [place], that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
[1Ki 8:11 KJV] So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
[1Ki 8:12 KJV] Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
[1Ki 8:13 KJV] I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
[1Ki 8:14 KJV] And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
[1Ki 8:15 KJV] And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled [it], saying,
[1Ki 8:16 KJV] Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
[1Ki 8:17 KJV] And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
[1Ki 8:18 KJV] And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
[1Ki 8:19 KJV] Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
[1Ki 8:20 KJV] And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
[1Ki 8:21 KJV] And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein [is] the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
[1Ki 8:22 KJV] And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
[1Ki 8:23 KJV] And he said, LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
[1Ki 8:24 KJV] Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thine hand, as [it is] this day.
[1Ki 8:25 KJV] Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
[1Ki 8:26 KJV] And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
[1Ki 8:27 KJV] But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
[1Ki 8:28 KJV] Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:
[1Ki 8:29 KJV] That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, [even] toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.
[1Ki 8:30 KJV] And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
[1Ki 8:31 KJV] If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:
[1Ki 8:32 KJV] Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
[1Ki 8:33 KJV] When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
[1Ki 8:34 KJV] Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
[1Ki 8:35 KJV] When heaven is 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 afflictest them:
[1Ki 8:36 KJV] Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
[1Ki 8:37 KJV] If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, [or] if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness [there be];
[1Ki 8:38 KJV] What prayer and supplication soever be [made] by any man, [or] by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
[1Ki 8:39 KJV] Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, [even] thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
[1Ki 8:40 KJV] That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
[1Ki 8:41 KJV] Moreover concerning a stranger, that [is] not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;
[1Ki 8:42 KJV] (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
[1Ki 8:43 KJV] Hear thou in heaven 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, to fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
[1Ki 8:44 KJV] If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and [toward] the house that I have built for thy name:
[1Ki 8:45 KJV] Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
[1Ki 8:46 KJV] 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 captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
[1Ki 8:47 KJV] [Yet] if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
[1Ki 8:48 KJV] And [so] return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
[1Ki 8:49 KJV] Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
[1Ki 8:50 KJV] And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
[1Ki 8:51 KJV] For they [be] thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
[1Ki 8:52 KJV] That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
[1Ki 8:53 KJV] For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, [to be] thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.
[1Ki 8:54 KJV] And it was [so], that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
[1Ki 8:55 KJV] And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
[1Ki 8:56 KJV] Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
[1Ki 8:57 KJV] The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
[1Ki 8:58 KJV] That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
[1Ki 8:59 KJV] And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
[1Ki 8:60 KJV] That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD [is] God, [and that there is] none else.
[1Ki 8:61 KJV] Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
[1Ki 8:62 KJV] And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
[1Ki 8:63 KJV] And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
[1Ki 8:64 KJV] The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that [was] before the LORD [was] too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
[1Ki 8:65 KJV] And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, [even] fourteen days.
[1Ki 8:66 KJV] On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.

1Kin 9:

[1Ki 9:1 KJV] And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
[1Ki 9:2 KJV] That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
[1Ki 9:3 KJV] And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
[1Ki 9:4 KJV] And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
[1Ki 9:5 KJV] Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
[1Ki 9:6 KJV] [But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
[1Ki 9:7 KJV] Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
[1Ki 9:8 KJV] And at this house, [which] is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?
[1Ki 9:9 KJV] And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
[1Ki 9:10 KJV] And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,
[1Ki 9:11 KJV] ([Now] Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
[1Ki 9:12 KJV] And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
[1Ki 9:13 KJV] And he said, What cities [are] these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
[1Ki 9:14 KJV] And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
[1Ki 9:15 KJV] And this [is] the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
[1Ki 9:16 KJV] [For] Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it [for] a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
[1Ki 9:17 KJV] And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
[1Ki 9:18 KJV] And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
[1Ki 9:19 KJV] And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
[1Ki 9:20 KJV] [And] all the people [that were] left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which [were] not of the children of Israel,
[1Ki 9:21 KJV] Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
[1Ki 9:22 KJV] But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they [were] men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
[1Ki 9:23 KJV] These [were] the chief of the officers that [were] over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
[1Ki 9:24 KJV] But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then did he build Millo.
[1Ki 9:25 KJV] And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that [was] before the LORD. So he finished the house.
[1Ki 9:26 KJV] And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which [is] beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
[1Ki 9:27 KJV] And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
[1Ki 9:28 KJV] And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king Solomon.

2Chr 6:

[2Ch 6:1 KJV] Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
[2Ch 6:2 KJV] But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
[2Ch 6:3 KJV] And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
[2Ch 6:4 KJV] 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,
[2Ch 6:5 KJV] 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:
[2Ch 6:6 KJV] But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
[2Ch 6:7 KJV] Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
[2Ch 6:8 KJV] 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:
[2Ch 6:9 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:10 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:11 KJV] And in it have I put the ark, wherein [is] the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
[2Ch 6:12 KJV] And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
[2Ch 6:13 KJV] 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,
[2Ch 6:14 KJV] 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:
[2Ch 6:15 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:16 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:17 KJV] Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
[2Ch 6:18 KJV] 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!
[2Ch 6:19 KJV] 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:
[2Ch 6:20 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:21 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:22 KJV] 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;
[2Ch 6:23 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:24 KJV] 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;
[2Ch 6:25 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:26 KJV] 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;
[2Ch 6:27 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:28 KJV] 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]:
[2Ch 6:29 KJV] [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:
[2Ch 6:30 KJV] 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:)
[2Ch 6:31 KJV] That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
[2Ch 6:32 KJV] 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;
[2Ch 6:33 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:34 KJV] 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;
[2Ch 6:35 KJV] Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
[2Ch 6:36 KJV] 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;
[2Ch 6:37 KJV] 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;
[2Ch 6:38 KJV] 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:
[2Ch 6:39 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:40 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:41 KJV] 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.
[2Ch 6:42 KJV] O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

2Ch 7:

[2Ch 7:1 KJV] 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 the LORD filled the house.
[2Ch 7:2 KJV] And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house.
[2Ch 7:3 KJV] And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
[2Ch 7:4 KJV] Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
[2Ch 7:5 KJV] And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
[2Ch 7:6 KJV] And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy [endureth] for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
[2Ch 7:7 KJV] Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
[2Ch 7:8 KJV] Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
[2Ch 7:9 KJV] And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
[2Ch 7:10 KJV] And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
[2Ch 7:11 KJV] Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
[2Ch 7:12 KJV] And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
[2Ch 7:13 KJV] If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
[2Ch 7:14 KJV] If my people, which 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.
[2Ch 7:15 KJV] Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer [that is made] in this place.
[2Ch 7:16 KJV] For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
[2Ch 7:17 KJV] 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 shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
[2Ch 7:18 KJV] Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man [to be] ruler in Israel.
[2Ch 7:19 KJV] 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;
[2Ch 7:20 KJV] Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it [to be] a proverb and a byword among all nations.
[2Ch 7:21 KJV] And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
[2Ch 7:22 KJV] And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which 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.
