2 Chronicles 6 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Then ^H227 Solomon ^H8010 said ^H559,

“Yahweh ^H3068 has said ^H559 that He would dwell ^H7931 in the cloud of dense ^H6205 gloom ^H6205.

“Now I have built ^H1129 You a lofty ^H2073 house ^H1004,

And a place ^H4349 for Your dwelling ^H3427 forever ^H5769.”

Then the king ^H4428 turned ^H5437 his face ^H6440 around ^H5437 and blessed ^H1288 all ^H3605 the assembly ^H6951 of Israel ^H3478, while all ^H3605 the assembly ^H6951 of Israel ^H3478 was standing ^H5975.

Then he stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 the altar ^H4196 of Yahweh ^H3068 before ^H5048 all ^H3605 the assembly ^H6951 of Israel ^H3478 and spread ^H6566 out ^H6566 his hands ^H3709.

“But will God ^H430 truly ^H552 dwell ^H3427 with mankind ^H120 on the earth ^H776? Behold ^H2009, heaven ^H8064 and the [fn]highest ^H8064 heaven ^H8064 cannot ^H3808 contain ^H3557 You; how ^H637 much ^H637 H3588 less ^H637 this ^H2088 house ^H1004 which ^H834 I have built ^H1129.

“If ^H518 a man ^H376 sins ^H2398 against his neighbor ^H7453 and is made ^H5377 to take ^H422 an ^H422 oath ^H423, and he comes ^H935 and takes ^H422 an ^H422 oath ^H422 before ^H6440 Your altar ^H4196 in this ^H2088 house ^H1004,

“And if ^H518 Your people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478 are [fn]defeated ^H5062 before ^H6440 an enemy ^H340 because ^H3588 they have sinned ^H2398 against You, and they turn ^H7725 to You and confess ^H3034 Your name ^H8034, and pray ^H6419 and make ^H2603 supplication ^H2603 before ^H6440 You in this ^H2088 house ^H1004,

“When the heavens ^H8064 are shut ^H6113 up ^H6113 and there is no ^H3808 rain ^H4306 because ^H3588 they have sinned ^H2398 against You, and they pray ^H6419 toward ^H413 this ^H2088 place ^H4725 and confess ^H3034 Your name ^H8034, and turn ^H7725 from their sin ^H2403 when ^H3588 You afflict ^H6031 them;

“If ^H3588 there is famine ^H7458 in the land ^H776, if ^H3588 there is pestilence ^H1698, if ^H3588 there is scorching ^H7711 wind ^H7711 or mildew ^H3420, if ^H3588 there is locust ^H697 or grasshopper ^H2625, if ^H3588 their enemies ^H340 besiege ^H6887 them in the land ^H776 of their [fn]cities ^H8179, whatever ^H3605 plague ^H5061 or whatever ^H3605 sickness ^H4245 there is,

“Also ^H1571 concerning ^H413 the foreigner ^H5237 who ^H834 is not of Your people ^H5971 Israel ^H3478, if he comes ^H935 from a far ^H7350 country ^H776 for Your great ^H1419 name’s ^H8034 sake ^H4616 and Your strong ^H2389 hand ^H3027 and Your outstretched ^H5186 arm ^H2220, so if they come ^H935 and pray ^H6419 toward ^H413 this ^H2088 house ^H1004,

“When ^H3588 Your people ^H5971 go ^H3318 out ^H3318 to battle ^H4421 against ^H5921 their enemies ^H340, by whatever ^H834 way ^H1870 You shall send ^H7971 them, and they pray ^H6419 to You toward ^H1870 this ^H2088 city ^H5892 which ^H834 You have chosen ^H977 and the house ^H1004 which ^H834 I have built ^H1129 for Your name ^H8034,

“When ^H3588 they sin ^H2398 against You (for there ^H369 is ^H369 no ^H369 man ^H120 who ^H834 does not sin ^H2398) and You are angry ^H599 with them and give ^H5414 them over to an enemy ^H340, so that [fn]they take ^H7617 them away ^H7617 captive ^H7617 to a land ^H776 far ^H7350 off ^H7350 or ^H176 near ^H7138,

“Now ^H6258, O my God ^H430, I pray ^H4994, let Your eyes ^H5869 be open ^H6605 and Your ears ^H241 attentive ^H7183 to the prayer ^H8605 offered in this ^H2088 place ^H4725.

“So now ^H6258, arise ^H6965, O Yahweh ^H3068 God ^H430, to Your resting ^H5117 place ^H5117, You and the ark ^H727 of Your strength ^H5797; let Your priests ^H3548, O Yahweh ^H3068 God ^H430, be clothed ^H3847 with salvation ^H8668 and let Your holy ^H2623 ones ^H2623 be glad ^H8055 in what ^H2896 is ^H2896 good ^H2896.

“O Yahweh ^H3068 God ^H430, do not turn ^H7725 away ^H7725 the face ^H6440 of Your anointed ^H4899; remember ^H2142 Your lovingkindness ^H2617 to Your servant ^H5650 David ^H1732.”
