Chronicles 7-9
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 Yahweh filled the house.
2Ch
7:2 The priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, because
the glory of Yahweh filled Yahweh's house.
2Ch
7:3 All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down,
and the glory of Yahweh was on the house; and they bowed themselves
with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and
gave thanks to Yahweh, saying,
For he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever.
2Ch
7:4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before
Yahweh.
2Ch
7:5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of
cattle, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all
the people dedicated the house of God.
2Ch
7:6 The priests stood, according to their offices; the Levites also
with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to
give thanks to Yahweh, (for his loving kindness endures for ever),
when David praised by their ministry: and the priests sounded
trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.
2Ch
7:7 Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court holy that was
before the house of Yahweh; for there he offered the burnt offerings,
and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which
Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the
meal offering, and the fat.
2Ch
7:8 So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all
Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath
to the brook of Egypt.
2Ch
7:9 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the
dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
2Ch
7:10 On the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the
people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness
that Yahweh had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his
people.
2Ch
7:11 Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the king's
house: and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon's
heart to make in the house of Yahweh, and in his own house.
2Ch
7:12 Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have
heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house
of sacrifice.
2Ch
7:13 If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command
the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my
people;
2Ch
7:14 if my people, who 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 my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer
that is made in this place.
2Ch
7:16 For now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name
may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there
perpetually.
2Ch
7:17 As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father
walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will
keep my statutes and my ordinances;
2Ch
7:18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as
I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you
a man to be ruler in Israel.
2Ch
7:19 But if you 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 made holy for my name,
will I cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a
byword among all peoples.
2Ch
7:21 This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it shall
be astonished, and shall say, Why has Yahweh done thus to this land,
and to this house?
2Ch
7:22 They shall answer, Because they abandoned Yahweh, the God of
their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and
laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them, and served them:
therefore has he brought all this evil on them.
2Ch
8:1 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had
built the house of Yahweh, and his own house,
2Ch
8:2 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built
them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
2Ch
8:3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
2Ch
8:4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities,
which he built in Hamath.
2Ch
8:5 Also he built Beth Horon the upper, and Beth Horon the lower,
fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
2Ch
8:6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and
all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and
all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and
in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
2Ch
8:7 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who
were not of Israel;
2Ch
8:8 of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the
children of Israel didn't consume, of them did Solomon conscripted
forced labor to this day.
2Ch
8:9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for
his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and
rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
2Ch
8:10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two-hundred
fifty, who ruled over the people.
2Ch
8:11 Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of
David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, My wife
shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the
places where the ark of Yahweh has come are holy.
2Ch
8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of
Yahweh, which he had built before the porch,
2Ch
8:13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to
the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and
on the set feasts, three times in the year, even
in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in
the feast of tents.
2Ch
8:14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father,
the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to
their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the
duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions
at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
2Ch
8:15 They didn't depart from the commandment of the king to the
priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the
treasures.
2Ch
8:16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the
foundation of the house of Yahweh, and until it was finished. So
the house of Yahweh was completed.
2Ch
8:17 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore
in the land of Edom.
2Ch
8:18 Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea
by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of
Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents
of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
2Ch
9:1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came
to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great
train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and
precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she talked with
him of all that was in her heart.
2Ch
9:2 Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything
hid from Solomon which he didn't tell her.
2Ch
9:3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the
house that he had built,
2Ch
9:4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and
the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers
also, and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the
house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.
2Ch
9:5 She said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my
own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
2Ch
9:6 However I didn't believe their words, until I came, and my eyes
had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was
not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.
2Ch
9:7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand
continually before you, and hear your wisdom.
2Ch
9:8 Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on
his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God: because your God loved
Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he you king over
them, to do justice and righteousness.
2Ch
9:9 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and
spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any
such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
2Ch
9:10 The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who
brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
2Ch
9:11 The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of
Yahweh, and for the king's house, and harps and stringed instruments
for the singers: and there were none like these seen before in the
land of Judah.
2Ch
9:12 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king.
So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
2Ch
9:13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six
hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
2Ch
9:14 besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all
the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and
silver to Solomon.
2Ch
9:15 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six
hundred shekels
of beaten gold went to one buckler.
2Ch
9:16 he made
three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels
of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the
forest of Lebanon.
2Ch
9:17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it
with pure gold.
2Ch
9:18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of
gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by
the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
2Ch
9:19 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on
the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
2Ch
9:20 All king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the
vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold:
silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
2Ch
9:21 For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants
of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing
gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
2Ch
9:22 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches
and wisdom.
2Ch
9:23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to
hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
2Ch
9:24 They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and
vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules,
a rate year by year.
2Ch
9:25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and
twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities,
and with the king at Jerusalem.
2Ch
9:26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of
the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
2Ch
9:27 The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made
cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for
abundance.
2Ch
9:28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all
lands.
2Ch
9:29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren't
they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the
prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer
concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
2Ch
9:30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
2Ch
9:31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city
of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black

for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the

at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
