2Chronicles 1



 1. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > the son <1121 ben > of David 
<1732 David > was strengthened <2388 chazaq > in his kingdom 
<4438 malkuwth >, and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > his God <0430 
>elohiym > [was] with him, and magnified <1431 gadal > him 
exceedingly <4605 ma<al >.



 2 Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > spake <0559 >amar > unto all 
<3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, to the captains <8269 sar > 
of thousands <0505 >eleph > and of hundreds <3967 me>ah >, and 
to the judges <8199 shaphat >, and to every <3605 kol > governor 
<5387 nasiy> > in all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, the 
chief <7218 ro>sh > of the fathers <1>.



 3 So Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and all <3605 kol > the 
congregation <6951 qahal > with him, went <3212 yalak > to the 
high <1116 bamah > place that [was] at Gibeon <1391 Gib<own >; 
for there <8033 sham > was the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the 
congregation <4150 mow<ed > of God <0430 >elohiym >, which <0834 
>aher > Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650 <ebed > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had <1961 hayah > made <6213 <asah > in the 
wilderness <4057 midbar >.



 4 But the ark <0727 >arown > of God <0430 >elohiym > had David 
<1732 David > brought <5927 <alah > up from Kirjathjearim <7157 
Qiryath Y@<ariym > to [the place which] David <1732 David > had 
prepared <3559 kuwn > for it: for he had pitched <5186 natah > a 
tent <0168 >ohel > for it at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 5 Moreover the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach >,
 that Bezaleel <1212 B@tsal>el > the son <1121 ben > of Uri 
<0221 >Uwriy >, the son <1121 ben > of Hur <2354 Chuwr >, had 
made <6213 <asah >, he put <7760 suwm > before <6440 paniym > 
the tabernacle <4908 mishkan > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: and 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > and the congregation <6951 qahal > 
sought <1875 darash > unto it.



 6 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > went <5927 <alah > up thither 
<8033 sham > to the brasen <5178 n@chosheth > altar <4196 
mizbeach > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which 
[was] at the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the congregation <4150 
mow<ed >, and offered <5927 <alah > a thousand <0505 >eleph > 
burnt <5930 <olah > offerings upon it.



 7 In that night <3915 layil > did God <0430 >elohiym > appear 
<7200 ra>ah > unto Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and said <0559 
>amar > unto him, Ask <7592 sha>al > what <4100 mah > I shall 
give <5414 nathan > thee.



 8 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > said <0559 >amar > unto God 
<0430 >elohiym >, Thou hast shewed <6213 <asah > great <1419 
gadowl > mercy <2617 checed > unto David <1732 David > my father 
<25>, and hast made me to reign <4427 malak > in his stead <8478 
tachath >.



 9 Now <6258 <attah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym 
>, let thy promise <1697 dabar > unto David <1732 David > my 
father <25> be established <0539 >aman >: for thou hast made me 
king <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > a people <5971 <am > like 
the dust <6083 <aphar > of the earth <0776 >erets > in multitude 
<7227 rab >.



 10 Give <5414 nathan > me now <6258 <attah > wisdom <2451 
chokmah > and knowledge <4093 madda< >, that I may go <3318 
yatsa> > out and come <0935 bow> > in before <6440 paniym > this 
<2088 zeh > people <5971 <am >: for who <4310 miy > can judge 
<8199 shaphat > this <2088 zeh > thy people <5971 <am >, [that 
is so] great <1419 gadowl >?



 11 And God <0430 >elohiym > said <0559 >amar > to Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh >, Because this <2063 zo>th > was in thine heart <3824 
lebab >, and thou hast not asked <7592 sha>al > riches <6239 
<osher >, wealth <5233 nekec >, or honour <3519 kabowd >, nor 
the life <5315 nephesh > of thine enemies <8130 sane> >, neither 
<3808 lo> > yet <1571 gam > hast asked <7592 sha>al > long <7227 
rab > life <3117 yowm >; but hast asked <7592 sha>al > wisdom 
<2451 chokmah > and knowledge <4093 madda< > for thyself, that 
thou mayest judge <8199 shaphat > my people <5971 <am >, over 
<5921 <al > whom I have made thee king <4427 malak >:



 12 Wisdom <2451 chokmah > and knowledge <4093 madda< > [is] 
granted <5414 nathan > unto thee; and I will give <5414 nathan > 
thee riches <6239 <osher >, and wealth <5233 nekec >, and honour 
<3519 kabowd >, such <0834 >aher > as none <3808 lo> > of the 
kings <4428 melek > have had <1961 hayah > that [have been] 
before <6440 paniym > thee, neither <3808 lo> > shall there any 
after <0310 >achar > thee have <1961 hayah > the like <3651 ken 
>.



 13. Then Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > came <0935 bow> > [from his 
journey] to the high <1116 bamah > place that [was] at Gibeon 
<1391 Gib<own > to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, from before 
<6440 paniym > the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the congregation 
<4150 mow<ed >, and reigned <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 14 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > gathered <0622 >acaph > 
chariots <7393 rekeb > and horsemen <6571 parash >: and he had 
<1961 hayah > a thousand <0505 >eleph > and four <0702 >arba< > 
hundred <3967 me>ah > chariots <7393 rekeb >, and twelve 
thousand <0505 >eleph > horsemen <6571 parash >, which he placed 
<3240 yanach > in the chariot <7393 rekeb > cities <5892 <iyr >, 
and with the king <4428 melek > at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

 15 And the king <4428 melek > made <5414 nathan > silver <3701 
keceph > and gold <2091 zahab > at Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim 
> [as plenteous] as stones <68>, and cedar <0730 >erez > trees 
made <5414 nathan > he as the sycomore <8256 shaqam > trees that 
[are] in the vale <8219 sh@phelah > for abundance <7230 rob >.



 16 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had horses <5483 cuwc > brought 
<4161 mowtsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and linen <4723 
miqveh > yarn <4723 miqveh >: the king's <4428 melek > merchants 
<5503 cachar > received <3947 laqach > the linen <4723 miqveh > 
yarn <4723 miqveh > at a price <4242 m@chiyr >.



 17 And they fetched <5927 <alah > up, and brought <3318 yatsa> 
> forth <3318 yatsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > a chariot 
<4818 merkabah > for six <8337 shesh > hundred <3967 me>ah > 
[shekels] of silver <3701 keceph >, and an horse <5483 cuwc > 
for an hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 chamishshiym >: and 
so brought <3318 yatsa> > they out [horses <5483 cuwc >] for all 
<3605 kol > the kings <4428 melek > of the Hittites <2850 
Chittiy >, and for the kings <4428 melek > of Syria <0758 >Aram

 1. And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > determined <0559 >amar > to 
build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for the name <8034 
shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and an house <1004 bayith > 
for his kingdom <4438 malkuwth >.



 2 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > told <5608 caphar > out 
threescore <7657 shib<iym. > and ten thousand <0505 >eleph > men 
<0376 >iysh > to bear <5445 cabal > burdens <5449 cabbal >, and

 3 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > sent <7971 shalach > to Huram 
<2361 Chuwram > the king <4428 melek > of Tyre <6865 Tsor >, 
saying <0559 >amar >, As thou didst deal <6213 <asah > with 
David <1732 David > my father <25>, and didst send <7971 shalach

<1004 bayith > to dwell <3427 yashab > therein, [even so deal 
with me].



 4 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I build <1129 banah > an house <1004 
bayith > to the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my 
God <0430 >elohiym >, to dedicate <6942 qadash > [it] to him,

<0430 >elohiym >. This <2063 zo>th > [is an ordinance] for ever 
<5769 <owlam > to Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 5 And the house <1004 bayith > which <0834 >aher > I build 
<1129 banah > [is] great <1419 gadowl >: for great <1419 gadowl

 6 But who <4310 miy > is able to build <1129 banah > him an 
house <1004 bayith >, seeing the heaven <8064 shamayim > and 
heaven <8064 shamayim > of heavens <8064 shamayim > cannot <3808 
lo> > contain <3557 kuwl > him? who <4310 miy > [am] I then, 
that I should build <1129 banah > him an house <1004 bayith >, 
save <0518 >im > only to burn <6999 qatar > sacrifice before

 7 Send <7971 shalach > me now <6258 <attah > therefore a man 
<0376 >iysh > cunning <2450 chakam > to work <6213 <asah > in 
gold <2091 zahab >, and in silver <3701 keceph >, and in brass

provide <3559 kuwn >.



 8 Send <7971 shalach > me also cedar <0730 >erez > trees <6086 
<ets >, fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees, and algum <0418 >alguwmmiym > 
trees, out of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >: for I know <3045 yada< > 
that thy servants <5650 <ebed > can skill <3045 yada< > to cut 
<3772 karath > timber <6086 <ets > in Lebanon <3844 L@banown >; 
and, behold <2009 hinneh >, my servants <5650 <ebed > [shall be]

 10 And, behold <2009 hinneh >, I will give <5414 nathan > to

<esriym > thousand <0505 >eleph > baths <1324 bath > of oil 
<8081 shemen >.



 11. Then Huram <2438 Chiyram > the king <4428 melek > of Tyre 
<6865 Tsor > answered <0559 >amar > in writing <3791 kathab >, 
which he sent <7971 shalach > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, 
Because the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath loved <0160 >ahabah > his 
people <5971 <am >, he hath made <5414 nathan > thee king <4427 
malak > over <5921 <al > them.



 12 Huram <2361 Chuwram > said <0559 >amar > moreover, Blessed 
<1288 barak > [be] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, that made <6213 <asah > heaven <8064

with prudence <7922 sekel > and understanding <0998 biynah >, 
that might build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and an house <1004 bayith > for his 
kingdom.



 13 And now <6258 <attah > I have sent <7971 shalach > a cunning 
<2450 chakam > man <0376 >iysh >, endued <3045 yada< > with 
understanding <0998 biynah >, of Huram <2438 Chiyram > my 
father's <1>,



 14 The son <1121 ben > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > of the 
daughters <1121 ben > of Dan <1835 Dan >, and his father <25> 
[was] a man <0376 >iysh > of Tyre <6876 Tsoriy >, skilful <3045 
yada< > to work <6213 <asah > in gold <2091 zahab >, and in

purple <0713 >argaman >, in blue <8504 t@keleth >, and in fine 
linen <0948 buwts >, and in crimson <3758 karmiyl >; also to 
grave <6605 pathach > any <3605 kol > manner of graving <6603 
pittuwach >, and to find <2803 chashab > out every <3605 kol > 
device <4284 machashabah > which <0834 >aher > shall be put 
<5414 nathan > to him, with thy cunning <2450 chakam > men, and 
with the cunning <2450 chakam > men of my lord <0113 >adown > 
David <1732 David > thy father <25>.



 15 Now <6258 <attah > therefore the wheat <2406 chittah >, and 
the barley <8184 s@<orah >, the oil <8081 shemen >, and the wine 
<3196 yayin >, which <0834 >aher > my lord <0113 >adown > hath 
spoken <0559 >amar > of, let him send <7971 shalach > unto his 
servants <5650 <ebed >:



 16 And we will cut <3772 karath > wood <6086 <ets > out of 
Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, as much <3605 kol > as thou shalt need 
<6878 tsorek >: and we will bring <0935 bow> > it to thee in 
floats by sea <3220 yam > to Joppa <3305 Yapho >; and thou shalt 
carry <5927 <alah > it up to Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 17 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > numbered <5608 caphar > all 
<3605 kol > the strangers that [were] in the land <0776 >erets > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, after <0310 >achar > the numbering

found <4672 matsa> > an hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 
chamishshiym > thousand <0505 >eleph > and three <7969 shalowsh

me>ah >.



 18 And he set <6213 <asah > threescore <7657 shib<iym. > and 
ten thousand <0505 >eleph > of them [to be] bearers <5449 cabbal 
> of burdens <5449 cabbal >, and fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > 
thousand <0505 >eleph > [to be] hewers <2672 chatsab > in the

cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > of image <6816 tsa<tsua< > work <4639

 11 And the wings <3671 kanaph > of the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > 
[were] twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520 >ammah > long <0753

 12 And [one] wing <3671 kanaph > of the other <0259 >echad >

 13 The wings <3671 kanaph > of these <0428 >el-leh > cherubims 
<3742 k@ruwb > spread <6566 paras > themselves forth twenty

 14 And he made <6213 <asah > the vail <6532 poreketh > [of]

that [was] on <5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh > of each of them 
[was] five <2568 chamesh > cubits <0520 >ammah >.



 16 And he made <6213 <asah > chains <8333 sharah@rah >, [as] in 
the oracle <1687 d@biyr >, and put <5414 nathan > [them] on

 1. Moreover he made <6213 <asah > an altar <4196 mizbeach > of 
brass <5178 n@chosheth >, twenty <6242 <esriym > cubits <0520

 2 Also he made <6213 <asah > a molten <3332 yatsaq > sea <3220

the height <6967 qowmah > thereof; and a line <6957 qav > of 
thirty <7970 sh@lowshiym > cubits <0520 >ammah > did compass 
<5437 cabab > it round <5439 cabiyb > about.



 3 And under <8478 tachath > it [was] the similitude <1823 
d@muwth > of oxen <1241 baqar >, which did compass <5437 cabab > 
it round <5439 cabiyb > about: ten <6235 <eser > in a cubit

cast <4166 muwtsaqah >.



 4 It stood <5975 <amad > upon twelve oxen <1241 baqar >, three

 and the sea <3220 yam > [was set] above <4605 ma<al > upon them,
 and all <3605 kol > their hinder <0268 >achowr > parts [were] 
inward <1004 bayith >.



 5 And the thickness <5672 <abiy > of it [was] an handbreadth 
<2947 tephach >, and the brim <8193 saphah > of it like <3651

 6 He made <6213 <asah > also ten <6235 <eser > lavers <3595 
kiyowr >, and put <5414 nathan > five <2568 chamesh > on the 
right <3225 yamiyn > hand, and five <2568 chamesh > on the left 
<8040 s@mo>wl >, to wash <7364 rachats > in them: such things as 
they offered <4639 ma<aseh > for the burnt <5930 <olah > 
offering they washed <1740 duwach > in them; but the sea <3220 
yam > [was] for the priests <3548 kohen > to wash <7364 rachats

 7 And he made <6213 <asah > ten <6235 <eser > candlesticks 
<4501 m@nowrah > of gold <2091 zahab > according to their form 
<4941 mishpat >, and set <5414 nathan > [them] in the temple 
<1964 heykal >, five <2568 chamesh > on the right <3225 yamiyn > 
hand, and five <2568 chamesh > on the left <8040 s@mo>wl >.



 8 He made <6213 <asah > also ten <6235 <eser > tables <7979 
shulchan >, and placed <3240 yanach > [them] in the temple <1964 
heykal >, five <2568 chamesh > on the right <3225 yamiyn > side, 
and five <2568 chamesh > on the left <8040 s@mo>wl >. And he 
made <6213 <asah > an hundred <3967 me>ah > basons <4219 mizraq

 9 Furthermore he made <6213 <asah > the court <2691 chatser > 
of the priests <3548 kohen >, and the great <1419 gadowl > court 
<5835 <azarah >, and doors <1817 deleth > for the court <5835 
<azarah >, and overlaid <6823 tsaphah > the doors <1817 deleth > 
of them with brass <5178 n@chosheth >.



 10 And he set <5414 nathan > the sea <3220 yam > on the right

end, over <4136 muwl > against <4136 muwl > the south <5045

 11. And Huram <2361 Chuwram > made <6213 <asah > the pots <5518 
ciyr >, and the shovels <3257 ya< >, and the basons <4219 mizraq

<4399 m@la>kah > that he was to make <6213 <asah > for king 
<4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > for the house <1004

 12 [To wit], the two <8147 sh@nayim > pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, 
and the pommels <1543 gullah >, and the chapiters <3805 
kothereth > [which were] on <5921 <al > the top <7218 ro>sh > of 
the two pillars <5982 <ammuwd >, and the two <8147 sh@nayim > 
wreaths <7639 s@bakah > to cover <3680 kacah > the two <8147

 13 And four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > pomegranates 
<7416 rimmown > on the two <8147 sh@nayim > wreaths <7639 
s@bakah >; two <8147 sh@nayim > rows <2905 tuwr > of 
pomegranates <7416 rimmown > on each <0259 >echad > wreath <7639 
s@bakah >, to cover <3680 kacah > the two <8147 sh@nayim > 
pommels <1543 gullah > of the chapiters <3805 kothereth > which 
<0834 >aher > [were] upon the pillars <5982 <ammuwd >.



 14 He made <6213 <asah > also bases <4350 m@kownah >, and 
lavers <3595 kiyowr > made <6213 <asah > he upon the bases <4350 
m@kownah >;



 15 One <0259 >echad > sea <3220 yam >, and twelve oxen <1241

 16 The pots <5518 ciyr > also, and the shovels <3257 ya< >, and 
the fleshhooks <4207 mazleg >, and all <3605 kol > their 
instruments <3627 k@liy >, did Huram <2361 Chuwram > his father

Sh@lomoh > for the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > of bright <4838 maraq > brass <5178 n@chosheth >.



 17 In the plain <3603 kikkar > of Jordan <3383 Yarden > did the 
king <4428 melek > cast <3332 yatsaq > them, in the clay <4568 
ma<abeh > ground <0127 >adamah > between <0996 beyn > Succoth 
<5523 Cukkowth > and Zeredathah.



 18 Thus Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 <asah > all <3605

 19 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 <asah > all <3605

<5921 <al > the shewbread [was set];



 20 Moreover the candlesticks <4501 m@nowrah > with their lamps

[and] that perfect <4357 miklah > gold <2091 zahab >;



 22 And the snuffers <4212 m@zamm@rah >, and the basons <4219

[were of] gold <2091 zahab >.



2Chronicles 5



 1. Thus all the work <4399 m@la>kah > that Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh > made <6213 <asah > for the house <1004 bayith > of 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was finished <7999 shalam >: and 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > brought <0935 bow> > in [all <3605 kol

dedicated <6944 qodesh >; and the silver <3701 keceph >, and the

k@liy >, put <5414 nathan > he among the treasures <0214 >owtsar

 2 Then <0227 >az > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > assembled <6950 
qahal > the elders <2205 zaqen > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and 
all <3605 kol > the heads <7218 ro>sh > of the tribes <4294

<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, to bring <5927 <alah > up the ark <0727

Y@hovah > out of the city <5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David >, 
which <1958 hiy > [is] Zion <6726 Tsiyown >.



 3 Wherefore all <3605 kol > the men <0376 >iysh > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > assembled <6950 qahal > themselves unto the 
king <4428 melek > in the feast <2282 chag > which <1931 huw> > 
[was] in the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > month <2320 chodesh >.



 4 And all <3605 kol > the elders <2205 zaqen > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > came <0935 bow> >; and the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > 
took <5375 nasa> > up the ark <0727 >arown >.



 5 And they brought <5927 <alah > up the ark <0727 >arown >, and 
the tabernacle <0168 >ohel > of the congregation <4150 mow<ed >, 
and all <3605 kol > the holy <6944 qodesh > vessels <3627 k@liy

priests <3548 kohen > [and] the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > bring 
<5927 <alah > up.



 6 Also king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, and all 
<3605 kol > the congregation <5712 <edah > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > that were assembled <3259 ya<ad > unto him before 
<6440 paniym > the ark <0727 >arown >, sacrificed <2076 zabach > 
sheep <6629 tso>n > and oxen <1241 baqar >, which <0834 >aher > 
could not be told <5608 caphar > nor <3808 lo> > numbered <4487

 7 And the priests <3548 kohen > brought <0935 bow> > in the ark 
<0727 >arown > of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > unto his place <4725 maqowm >, to the oracle <1687

 8 For the cherubims <3742 k@ruwb > spread <6566 paras > forth 
[their] wings <3671 kanaph > over <5921 <al > the place <4725 
maqowm > of the ark <0727 >arown >, and the cherubims <3742 
k@ruwb > covered <3680 kacah > the ark <0727 >arown > and the 
staves <0905 bad > thereof above <4605 ma<al >.



 9 And they drew <0748 >arak > out the staves <0905 bad > [of 
the ark <0727 >arown >], that the ends <7218 ro>sh > of the 
staves <0905 bad > were seen <7200 ra>ah > from the ark before 
the oracle <1687 d@biyr >; but they were not seen <7200 ra>ah > 
without <2351 chuwts >. And there <8033 sham > it is unto this 
<2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 10 [There was] nothing <0369 >ayin > in the ark <0727 >arown > 
save <7535 raq > the two <8147 sh@nayim > tables <3871 luwach > 
which <0834 >aher > Moses <4872 Mosheh > put <5414 nathan >

children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, when they came 
<3318 yatsa> > out of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >.



 11. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, when the priests <3548 
kohen > were come <3318 yatsa> > out of the holy <6944 qodesh > 
[place]: (for all <3605 kol > the priests <3548 kohen > [that

[and] did not [then] wait <8104 shamar > by course <4256 
machaloqeth >:



 12 Also the Levites <3881 Leviyiy > [which were] the singers 
<7891 shiyr >, all <3605 kol > of them of Asaph <0623 >Acaph >, 
of Heman <1968 Heyman >, of Jeduthun <3038 Y@duwthuwn >, with 
their sons <1121 ben > and their brethren <0251 >ach >, [being] 
arrayed <3847 labash > in white linen <0948 buwts >, having 
cymbals <4700 m@tseleth > and psalteries <5035 nebel > and harps 
<3658 kinnowr >, stood <5975 <amad > at the east <4217 mizrach > 
end of the altar <4196 mizbeach >, and with them an hundred 
<3967 me>ah > and twenty <6242 <esriym > priests <3548 kohen > 
sounding <2690 chatsar > with trumpets <2689 chatsots@rah >:)



 13 It came <1961 hayah > even to pass, as the trumpeters <2689 
chatsots@rah > and singers <7891 shiyr > [were] as one <0259

heard <8085 shama< > in praising <1984 halal > and thanking 
<3034 yadah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; and when they lifted 
<7311 ruwm > up [their] voice <6963 qowl > with the trumpets and 
cymbals <4700 m@tseleth > and instruments <3627 k@liy > of 
musick <7892 shiyr >, and praised <1984 halal > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, [saying], For [he is] good <2896 towb >; for his 
mercy <2617 checed > [endureth] for ever <5769 <owlam >: that 
[then] the house <1004 bayith > was filled <4390 male> > with a 
cloud <6051 <anan >, [even] the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >;



 14 So that the priests <3548 kohen > could <3201 yakol > not 
stand <5975 <amad > to minister <8334 sharath > by reason <6440 
paniym > of the cloud <6051 <anan >: for the glory <3519 kabowd

 1. Then <0227 >az > said <0559 >amar > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >,
 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath said <0559 >amar > that he would

 2 But I have built <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > of

<1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > in, that my name <8034 
shem > might be there <8033 sham >; neither <3808 lo> > chose 
<0977 bachar > I any man <0376 >iysh > to be a ruler <5057 
nagiyd > over <5921 <al > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478

 6 But I have chosen <0977 bachar > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim

have chosen <0977 bachar > David <1732 David > to be over <5921 
<al > my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 7 Now it was in the heart <3824 lebab > of David <1732 David > 
my father <25> to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > 
for the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

 8 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > to David 
<1732 David > my father <25>, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart 
<3824 lebab > to build <1129 banah > an house <1004 bayith > for 
my name <8034 shem >, thou didst well <2895 towb > in that it 
was in thine heart <3824 lebab >:



 9 Notwithstanding <7535 raq > thou shalt not build <1129 banah

come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of thy loins <2504 
chalats >, he shall build <1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > 
for my name <8034 shem >.



 10 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > therefore hath performed <6965 quwm

I am risen <6965 quwm > up in the room <8478 tachath > of David 
<1732 David > my father <25>, and am set <3427 yashab > on <5921 
<al > the throne <3678 kicce> > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, as 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > promised <1696 dabar >, and have built 
<1129 banah > the house <1004 bayith > for the name <8034 shem > 
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478

 11 And in it have I put <7760 suwm > the ark <0727 >arown >, 
wherein [is] the covenant <1285 b@riyth > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >, that he made <3772 karath > with the children <1121

 12. And he stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the altar 
<4196 mizbeach > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > in the presence 
<5048 neged > of all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > 
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and spread <6566 paras > forth his

 13 For Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had made <6213 <asah > a brasen 
<5178 n@chosheth > scaffold <3595 kiyowr >, of five <2568

three <7969 shalowsh > cubits <0520 >ammah > high <6967 qowmah >,
 and had set <5414 nathan > it in the midst <8432 tavek > of the 
court <5835 <azarah >: and upon it he stood <5975 <amad >, and 
kneeled <1288 barak > down upon his knees <1290 berek > before 
<5048 neged > all <3605 kol > the congregation <6951 qahal > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and spread <6566 paras > forth his

 14 And said <0559 >amar >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

 15 Thou which hast kept <8104 shamar > with thy servant <5650

<3117 yowm >.



 16 Now <6258 <attah > therefore, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God 
<0430 >elohiym > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, keep <8104 shamar > 
with thy servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732 David > my father 
<25> that which <0834 >aher > thou hast promised <1696 dabar > 
him, saying <0559 >amar >, There shall not fail <3772 karath >

<8104 shamar > to their way <1870 derek > to walk <3212 yalak > 
in my law <8451 towrah >, as thou hast walked <3212 yalak > 
before <6440 paniym > me.



 17 Now <6258 <attah > then, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430

spoken <1696 dabar > unto thy servant <5650 <ebed > David <1732

 18 But will God <0430 >elohiym > in very <0552 >umnam > deed 
dwell <3427 yashab > with men <0120 >adam > on <5921 <al > the 
earth <0776 >erets >? behold <2009 hinneh >, heaven <8064

 19 Have respect <6437 panah > therefore to the prayer <8605 
t@phillah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >, and to his 
supplication <8467 t@chinnah >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God 
<0430 >elohiym >, to hearken <8085 shama< > unto the cry <7440

 20 That thine eyes <5869 <ayin > may be open <6605 pathach >

 21 Hearken <8085 shama< > therefore unto the supplications 
<8469 tachanuwn > of thy servant <5650 <ebed >, and of thy

 22 If <0518 >im > a man <0376 >iysh > sin <2398 chata> >

 23 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou from heaven <8064 shamayim >, 
and do <6213 <asah >, and judge <8199 shaphat > thy servants 
<5650 <ebed >, by requiting <7725 shuwb > the wicked <7563

according to his righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >.



 24 And if <0518 >im > thy people <5971 <am > Israel <3478

 25 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou from the heavens <8064

of thy people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and bring

 26 When the heaven <8064 shamayim > is shut <6113 <atsar > up, 
and there is no <3808 lo> > rain <4306 matar >, because <3588

place <4725 maqowm >, and confess <3034 yadah > thy name <8034

when <3588 kiy > thou dost afflict <6031 <anah > them;



 27 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou from heaven <8064 shamayim >, 
and forgive <5545 calach > the sin <2403 chatta>ah > of thy 
servants <5650 <ebed >, and of thy people <5971 <am > Israel

 28 If <3588 kiy > there be dearth <7458 ra<ab > in the land

 if <3588 kiy > there be blasting <7711 sh@dephah >, or mildew

 29 [Then] what <0834 >aher > prayer <8605 t@phillah > [or] what

his own sore <5061 nega< > and his own grief <4341 mak>ob >, and 
shall spread <6566 paras > forth his hands <3709 kaph > in this 
<2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >:



 30 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou from heaven <8064 shamayim > 
thy dwelling <3427 yashab > place <4349 makown >, and forgive 
<5545 calach >, and render <5415 n@than > unto every man <0120

whose heart <3824 lebab > thou knowest <3045 yada< >; (for thou

children <1121 ben > of men <0120 >adam >:)



 31 That they may fear <3372 yare> > thee, to walk <3212 yalak >

 32 Moreover <1571 gam > concerning <0413 >el > the stranger 
<5237 nokriy >, which <0834 >aher > is not of thy people <5971

out arm <2220 z@rowa< >; if they come <0935 bow> > and pray 
<6419 palal > in this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >;



 33 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou from the heavens <8064

makown >, and do <6213 <asah > according to all <3605 kol > that 
the stranger <5237 nokriy > calleth <7121 qara> > to thee for; 
that all <3605 kol > people <5971 <am > of the earth <0776

 34 If <3588 kiy > thy people <5971 <am > go <3318 yatsa> > out

 35 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou from the heavens <8064 
shamayim > their prayer <8605 t@phillah > and their supplication 
<8467 t@chinnah >, and maintain <6213 <asah > their cause <4941

 36 If <3588 kiy > they sin <2398 chata> > against thee, (for 
[there is] no <0369 >ayin > man <0120 >adam > which <0834 >aher

with them, and deliver <5414 nathan > them over <6440 paniym > 
before <6440 paniym > [their] enemies <0341 >oyeb >, and they 
carry <7617 shabah > them away <7617 shabah > captives <7617

 37 Yet [if] they bethink themselves in the land <0776 >erets > 
whither they are carried <7617 shabah > captive <7617 shabah >, 
and turn <7725 shuwb > and pray <2603 chanan > unto thee in the 
land <0776 >erets > of their captivity <7633 shibyah >, saying 
<0559 >amar >, We have sinned <2398 chata> >, we have done amiss 
<5753 <avah >, and have dealt wickedly <7561 rasha< >;



 38 If they return <7725 shuwb > to thee with all <3605 kol > 
their heart <3820 leb > and with all <3605 kol > their soul 
<5315 nephesh > in the land <0776 >erets > of their captivity 
<7633 shibyah >, whither <0834 >aher > they have carried <7617

toward <1870 derek > their land <0776 >erets >, which <0834

chosen <0977 bachar >, and toward the house <1004 bayith > which 
<0834 >aher > I have built <1129 banah > for thy name <8034 shem

 39 Then hear <8085 shama< > thou from the heavens <8064 
shamayim >, [even] from thy dwelling <3427 yashab > place <4349 
makown >, their prayer <8605 t@phillah > and their supplications

which <0834 >aher > have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee.



 40 Now <6258 <attah >, my God <0430 >elohiym >, let, I beseech

2Chronicles 7



 1. Now when Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had <1961 hayah > made an

kabowd > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > filled <4390 male> > the 
house <1004 bayith >.



 2 And the priests <3548 kohen > could <3201 yakol > not enter 
<0935 bow> > into <0413 >el > the house <1004 bayith > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, because <3588 kiy > the glory <3519 kabowd

LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >.



 3 And when all <3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of Israel

came <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad >, and the glory <3519

 4 Then the king <4428 melek > and all <3605 kol > the people 
<5971 <am > offered <2076 zabach > sacrifices <2077 zebach > 
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.



 5 And king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offered <2076

with instruments <3627 k@liy > of musick <7892 shiyr > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, which <0834 >aher > David <1732 David > 
the king <4428 melek > had made <6213 <asah > to praise <3034 
yadah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, because <3588 kiy > his mercy 
<2617 checed > [endureth] for ever <5769 <owlam >, when David 
<1732 David > praised <1984 halal > by their ministry <3027 yad

trumpets before <5048 neged > them, and all <3605 kol > Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > stood <5975 <amad >.



 7 Moreover Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > hallowed <6942 qadash > the 
middle <8484 tiykown > of the court <2691 chatser > that [was] 
before <6440 paniym > the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah >: for there <8033 sham > he offered <6213 <asah > burnt 
<5930 <olah > offerings, and the fat <2459 cheleb > of the peace 
<8002 shelem > offerings, because <3588 kiy > the brasen <5178 
n@chosheth > altar <4196 mizbeach > which <0834 >aher > Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > had made <6213 <asah > was not able <3201 yakol

the meat offerings <4503 minchah >, and the fat <2459 cheleb >.



 8 Also at the same <1931 huw> > time <6256 <eth > Solomon <8010 
Sh@lomoh > kept <6213 <asah > the feast <2282 chag > seven <7651 
sheba< > days <3117 yowm >, and all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > with him, a very <3966 m@<od > great <1419 gadowl > 
congregation <6951 qahal >, from the entering <0935 bow> > in of 
Hamath <2574 Chamath > unto the river <5158 nachal > of Egypt 
<4714 Mitsrayim >.



 9 And in the eighth <8066 sh@miyniy > day <3117 yowm > they 
made <6213 <asah > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116 
<atsarah >: for they kept <6213 <asah > the dedication <2598 
chanukkah > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > seven <7651 sheba< > 
days <3117 yowm >, and the feast <2282 chag > seven <7651 sheba<

 10 And on the three <7969 shalowsh > and twentieth <6242 
<esriym > day <3117 yowm > of the seventh <7637 sh@biy<iy > 
month <2320 chodesh > he sent <7971 shalach > the people <5971 
<am > away into their tents <0168 >ohel >, glad <8056 sameach > 
and merry <2896 towb > in heart <3820 leb > for the goodness 
<2896 towb > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had shewed <6213 
<asah > unto David <1732 David >, and to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

 11 Thus Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > finished <3615 kalah > the 
house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and the king's 
<4428 melek > house <1004 bayith >: and all <3605 kol > that 
came <0935 bow> > into <5921 <al > Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > 
heart <3820 leb > to make <6213 <asah > in the house <1004 
bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and in his own house <1004 
bayith >, he prosperously <6743 tsalach > effected <6743 tsalach

 12. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > appeared <7200 ra>ah > to 
Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > by night <3915 layil >, and said <0559

place <4725 maqowm > to myself for an house <1004 bayith > of 
sacrifice <2077 zebach >.



 13 If <2005 hen > I shut <6113 <atsar > up heaven <8064 
shamayim > that there be no <3808 lo> > rain <4306 matar >, or 
if <2005 hen > I command <6680 tsavah > the locusts <2284 chagab

people <5971 <am >;



 14 If my people <5971 <am >, which <0834 >aher > are called 
<7121 qara> > by my name <8034 shem >, shall humble <3665 kana<

face <6440 paniym >, and turn <7725 shuwb > from their wicked 
<7451 ra< > ways <1870 derek >; then will I hear <8085 shama< > 
from heaven <8064 shamayim >, and will forgive <5545 calach > 
their sin <2403 chatta>ah >, and will heal <7495 rapha> > their 
land <0776 >erets >.



 15 Now <6258 <attah > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > shall be open 
<6605 pathach >, and mine ears <0241 >ozen > attent <7183 
qashshab > unto the prayer <8605 t@phillah > [that is made] in 
this <2088 zeh > place <4725 maqowm >.



 16 For now <6258 <attah > have I chosen <0977 bachar > and 
sanctified <6942 qadash > this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, 
that my name <8034 shem > may be there <8033 sham > for ever 
<5769 <owlam >: and mine eyes <5869 <ayin > and mine heart <3820 
leb > shall be there <8033 sham > perpetually.



 17 And as for thee, if <0518 >im > thou wilt walk <3212 yalak > 
before <6440 paniym > me, as David <1732 David > thy father <25> 
walked <1980 halak >, and do <6213 <asah > according to all 
<3605 kol > that I have commanded <6680 tsavah > thee, and shalt 
observe <8104 shamar > my statutes <2706 choq > and my judgments 
<4941 mishpat >;



 18 Then will I stablish <6965 quwm > the throne <3678 kicce> > 
of thy kingdom <4438 malkuwth >, according as I have covenanted 
<3772 karath > with David <1732 David > thy father <25>, saying 
<0559 >amar >, There shall not fail <3772 karath > thee a man 
<0376 >iysh > [to be] ruler <4910 mashal > in Israel <3478 
Yisra>el >.



 19 But if <0518 >im > ye turn <7725 shuwb > away, and forsake 
<5800 <azab > my statutes <2708 chuqqah > and my commandments 
<4687 mitsvah >, which <0834 >aher > I have set <5414 nathan > 
before <6440 paniym > you, and shall go <1980 halak > and serve 
<5647 <abad > other <0312 >acher > gods <0430 >elohiym >, and 
worship <7812 shachah > them;



 20 Then will I pluck <5428 nathash > them up by the roots <5428 
nathash > out of my land <0127 >adamah > which <0834 >aher > I 
have given <5414 nathan > them; and this <2088 zeh > house <1004 
bayith >, which <0834 >aher > I have sanctified <6942 qadash > 
for my name <8034 shem >, will I cast <7993 shalak > out of my 
sight <6440 paniym >, and will make <5414 nathan > it [to be] a 
proverb <4912 mashal > and a byword <8148 sh@niynah > among all 
<3605 kol > nations <5971 <am >.



 21 And this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith >, which <0834 >aher

that he shall say <0559 >amar >, Why <4100 mah > hath the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > done <6213 <asah > thus <3602 kakah > unto this 
<2063 zo>th > land <0776 >erets >, and unto this <2088 zeh > 
house <1004 bayith >?



 22 And it shall be answered <0559 >amar >, Because they forsook 
<5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of 
their fathers <1>, which <0834 >aher > brought <3318 yatsa> > 
them forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of 
Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and laid hold <2388 chazaq > on other

 1. And it came <1961 hayah > to pass at the end <7093 qets > of 
twenty <6242 <esriym > years <8141 shaneh >, wherein <0834 >aher

<1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and his own house 
<1004 bayith >,



 2 That the cities <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > Huram <2438 
Chiyram > had restored <5414 nathan > to Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > to dwell 
<3427 yashab > there <8033 sham >.



 3 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > went <3212 yalak > to 
Hamathzobah <2578 Chamath Tsowbah >, and prevailed <2388 chazaq

 4 And he built <1129 banah > Tadmor <8412 Tadmor > in the

mick@nah > cities <5892 <iyr >, which <0834 >aher > he built 
<1129 banah > in Hamath <2574 Chamath >.



 5 Also he built <1129 banah > Bethhoron <1032 Beyth Chowrown > 
the upper <5945 >elyown >, and Bethhoron <1032 Beyth Chowrown > 
the nether <8481 tachtown >, fenced <4692 matsowr > cities <5892

bars <1280 b@riyach >;



 6 And Baalath <1191 Ba<alath >, and all <3605 kol > the store 
<4543 mick@nah > cities <5892 <iyr > that Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh

and throughout all <3605 kol > the land <0776 >erets > of his 
dominion <4475 memshalah >.



 7 [As for] all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > [that were] 
left <3498 yathar > of the Hittites <2850 Chittiy >, and the 
Amorites <0567 >Emoriy >, and the Perizzites <6522 P@rizziy >,

Yebuwciy >, which <0834 >aher > [were] not of Israel <3478

<8010 Sh@lomoh > make to pay <5927 <alah > tribute <4522 mac > 
until <5704 <ad > this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >.



 9 But of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
did Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > make <5414 nathan > no <3808 lo> > 
servants <5650 <ebed > for his work <4399 m@la>kah >; but they 
[were] men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah >, and chief 
<8269 sar > of his captains <7991 shaliysh >, and captains <8269

 10 And these <0428 >el-leh > [were] the chief <8269 sar > of 
king <4428 melek > Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh > officers <5324 
natsab >, [even] two hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572 
chamishshiym >, that bare <7287 radah > rule <7287 radah > over 
the people <5971 <am >.



 11 And Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > brought <5927 <alah > up the 
daughter <1323 bath > of Pharaoh <6547 Par<oh > out of the city 
<5892 <iyr > of David <1732 David > unto the house <1004 bayith

in the house <1004 bayith > of David <1732 David > king <4428

 12. Then <0227 >az > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > offered <5927

before <6440 paniym > the porch <0197 >uwlam >,



 13 Even after a certain <1697 dabar > rate <1697 dabar > every 
day <3117 yowm >, offering <5927 <alah > according to the 
commandment <4687 mitsvah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh >, on the 
sabbaths <7676 shabbath >, and on the new <2320 chodesh > moons

<7620 shabuwa< >, and in the feast <2282 chag > of tabernacles 
<5521 cukkah >.



 14 And he appointed <5975 <amad >, according to the order <4941 
mishpat > of David <1732 David > his father <25>, the courses 
<4256 machaloqeth > of the priests <3548 kohen > to their

their charges <4931 mishmereth >, to praise <1984 halal > and 
minister <8334 sharath > before <5048 neged > the priests <3548 
kohen >, as the duty <1697 dabar > of every day <3117 yowm > 
required <3117 yowm >: the porters <7778 show<er > also by their

<3651 ken > had David <1732 David > the man <0376 >iysh > of God 
<0430 >elohiym > commanded <4687 mitsvah >.



 15 And they departed <5493 cuwr > not from the commandment 
<4687 mitsvah > of the king <4428 melek > unto the priests <3548 
kohen > and Levites <3881 Leviyiy > concerning any <3605 kol >

 16 Now all <3605 kol > the work <4399 m@la>kah > of Solomon 
<8010 Sh@lomoh > was prepared <3559 kuwn > unto the day <3117

was finished <3615 kalah >. [So] the house <1004 bayith > of the 
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > was perfected <8003 shalem >.



 17 Then <0227 >az > went <1980 halak > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >

 18 And Huram <2438 Chiyram > sent <7971 shalach > him by the

the servants <5650 <ebed > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > to Ophir

four <0702 >arba< > hundred <3967 me>ah > and fifty <2572

brought <0935 bow> > [them] to king <4428 melek > Solomon <8010

2Chronicles 9



 1. And when the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> >

 3 And when the queen <4436 malkah > of Sheba <7614 Sh@ba> > had

his ascent <5944 <aliyah > by which <0834 >aher > he went <5927

 5 And she said <0559 >amar > to the king <4428 melek >, [It
