2CH-7:1 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 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 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 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices
before the LORD.
2CH-7:5 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 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites
also with instruments of music 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 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
brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the
burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
2CH-7:8 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 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 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 showed unto David, and
to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
2CH-7:11 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 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 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 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 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto
the prayer [that is made] in this place.
2CH-7:16 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
