praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever:
that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

Chronicles 6:5
5 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:
2 Chronicles 6:6
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen
David to be over my people Israel.
2 Chronicles 6:7
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of
the LORD God of Israel.
2 Chronicles 6:8

build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:
2 Chronicles 6:9

forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. 2 Chronicles 6:10
10 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.
2 Chronicles 6:11

made with the children of Israel. 2 Chronicles 6:12

Chronicles 6:14

nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants,
that walk before thee with all their hearts: 2 Chronicles 6:15
15 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.
2 Chronicles 6:16
16 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.
2 Chronicles 6:17
17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast
spoken unto thy servant David.
2 Chronicles 6:18
18 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!
2 Chronicles 6:19
19 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:
2 Chronicles 6:20
20 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. 2 Chronicles 6:21
21 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. 2 Chronicles 6:22
22 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; 2 Chronicles
6:23

the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the
righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness. 2 Chronicles 6:24
24 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; 2 Chronicles 6:25
25 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.
2 Chronicles 6:26
26 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; 2 Chronicles 6:27

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.
2 Chronicles 6:28
28 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:
2 Chronicles 6:29
29 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: 2 Chronicles 6:30
30 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:) 2 Chronicles 6:31
31 That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the
land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 2 Chronicles 6:32
32 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; 2 Chronicles 6:33
33 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. 2
Chronicles 6:34
34 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; 2 Chronicles 6:35
35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and
maintain their cause.
2 Chronicles 6:36
36 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; 2 Chronicles 6:37
37 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; 2 Chronicles 6:38
38 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:
2 Chronicles 6:39
39 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. 2 Chronicles 6:40
40 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. 2 Chronicles 6:41
41 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. 2 Chronicles 6:42
42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies
of David thy servant.
