[2 Chronicles 1]
1:1 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² was strengthened²³⁸⁸ in his kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God⁴³⁰ was with him, and magnified¹⁴³¹ him exceedingly.⁴⁶⁰⁵
1:2 Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ spake⁵⁵⁹ unto all Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to the captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands⁵⁰⁵ and of hundreds,³⁹⁶⁷ and to the judges,⁸¹⁹⁹ and to every governor⁵³⁸⁷ in all Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the fathers.¹
1:3 So Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and all the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ with him, went³²¹² to the high place¹¹¹⁶ that was at Gibeon;¹³⁹¹ for there was the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation⁴¹⁵⁰ of God,⁴³⁰ which Moses⁴⁸⁷² the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had made⁶²¹³ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷
1:4 But⁶¹ the ark⁷²⁷ of God⁴³⁰ had David¹⁷³² brought up⁵⁹²⁷ from Kirjathjearim⁷¹⁵⁷ to the place which David¹⁷³² had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ for it: for he had pitched⁵¹⁸⁶ a tent¹⁶⁸ for it at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
1:5^C Moreover the brasen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ that Bezaleel¹²¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Uri,²²¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hur,²³⁵⁴ had made,⁶²¹³ he put⁷⁷⁶⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle⁴⁹⁰⁸ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ and the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ sought¹⁸⁷⁵ unto it.
1:6 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ went up⁵⁹²⁷ thither to the brasen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which was at the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ upon it.
1:7 In that night³⁹¹⁵ did God⁴³⁰ appear⁷²⁰⁰ unto Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Ask⁷⁵⁹² what I shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee.
1:8 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto God,⁴³⁰ Thou hast shewed⁶²¹³ great¹⁴¹⁹ mercy²⁶¹⁷ unto David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and hast made me to reign⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.
1:9 Now, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ let thy promise¹⁶⁹⁷ unto David¹⁷³² my father¹ be established:⁵³⁹ for thou hast made me king⁴⁴²⁷ over a people⁵⁹⁷¹ like the dust⁶⁰⁸³ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in multitude.⁷²²⁷
1:10^C Give⁵⁴¹⁴ me now wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge,⁴⁰⁹³ that I may go out³³¹⁸ and come in⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ this people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for who can judge⁸¹⁹⁹ this thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ that is so great?¹⁴¹⁹
1:11^C And God⁴³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Because this was in thine heart,³⁸²⁴ and thou hast not asked⁷⁵⁹² riches,⁶²³⁹ wealth,⁵²³³ or honour,³⁵¹⁹ nor the life⁵³¹⁵ of thine enemies,⁸¹³⁰ neither yet hast asked⁷⁵⁹² long⁷²²⁷ life;³¹¹⁷ but hast asked⁷⁵⁹² wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ for thyself, that thou mayest judge⁸¹⁹⁹ my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ over whom I have made thee king:⁴⁴²⁷
1:12^C Wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and knowledge⁴⁰⁹³ is granted⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thee; and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee riches,⁶²³⁹ and wealth,⁵²³³ and honour,³⁵¹⁹ such as none of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ have had that have been before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, neither shall there any after³¹⁰ thee have the like.
1:13 Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ came⁹³⁵ from his journey to the high place¹¹¹⁶ that was at Gibeon¹³⁹¹ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
1:14 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gathered⁶²² chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen:⁶⁵⁷¹ and he had a thousand⁵⁰⁵ and four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots,⁷³⁹³ and twelve^81476240 thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ which he placed³²⁴⁰ in the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and with the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
1:15 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁵⁴¹⁴ silver³⁷⁰¹ and gold²⁰⁹¹ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as plenteous as stones,⁶⁸ and cedar trees⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he as the sycomore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that are in the vale⁸²¹⁹ for abundance.⁷²³⁰
1:16 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had horses⁵⁴⁸³ brought⁴¹⁶¹ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and linen yarn:⁴⁷²³ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ merchants⁵⁵⁰³ received³⁹⁴⁷ the linen yarn⁴⁷²³ at a price.⁴²⁴²
1:17 And they fetched up,⁵⁹²⁷ and brought forth³³¹⁸ out of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ a chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ for six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and an horse⁵⁴⁸³ for an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty:²⁵⁷² and so brought they out³³¹⁸ horses for all the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and for the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ by their means.³⁰²⁷

[2 Chronicles 2]
2:1^C And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ determined⁵⁵⁹ to build¹¹²⁹ an house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and an house¹⁰⁰⁴ for his kingdom.⁴⁴³⁸
2:2 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ told out⁵⁶⁰⁸ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ to bear burdens,⁵⁴⁴⁹ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵³⁷⁶ to hew²⁶⁷² in the mountain,²⁰²² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ to oversee⁵³²⁹ them.
2:3 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to Huram²³⁶¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Tyre,⁶⁸⁶⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ As thou didst deal⁶²¹³ with David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and didst send⁷⁹⁷¹ him cedars⁷³⁰ to build¹¹²⁹ him an house¹⁰⁰⁴ to dwell³⁴²⁷ therein, even so deal with me.
2:4 Behold, I build¹¹²⁹ an house¹⁰⁰⁴ to the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to dedicate⁶⁹⁴² it to him, and to burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him sweet⁵⁵⁶¹ incense,⁷⁰⁰⁴ and for the continual⁸⁵⁴⁸ shewbread,⁴⁶³⁵ and for the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ morning¹²⁴² and evening,⁶¹⁵³ on the sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and on the new moons,²³²⁰ and on the solemn feasts⁴¹⁵⁰ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God.⁴³⁰ This is an ordinance for ever⁵⁷⁶⁹ to Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
2:5 And the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which I build¹¹²⁹ is great:¹⁴¹⁹ for great¹⁴¹⁹ is our God⁴³⁰ above all gods.⁴³⁰
2:6 But who is able^61133581 to build¹¹²⁹ him an house,¹⁰⁰⁴ seeing the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ cannot contain³⁵⁵⁷ him? who am I then, that I should build¹¹²⁹ him an house,¹⁰⁰⁴ save only⁵¹⁸ to burn sacrifice⁶⁹⁹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him?
2:7^C Send⁷⁹⁷¹ me now therefore a man³⁷⁶ cunning²⁴⁵⁰ to work⁶²¹³ in gold,²⁰⁹¹ and in silver,³⁷⁰¹ and in brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and in iron,¹²⁷⁰ and in purple,⁷¹⁰ and crimson,³⁷⁵⁸ and blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and that can skill³⁰⁴⁵ to grave^66056603 with the cunning men²⁴⁵⁰ that are with me in Judah³⁰⁶³ and in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ whom David¹⁷³² my father¹ did provide.³⁵⁵⁹
2:8^C Send⁷⁹⁷¹ me also cedar⁷³⁰ trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ fir trees,¹²⁶⁵ and algum trees,⁴¹⁸ out of Lebanon:³⁸⁴⁴ for I know³⁰⁴⁵ that thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ can skill³⁰⁴⁵ to cut³⁷⁷² timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ in Lebanon;³⁸⁴⁴ and, behold, my servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ shall be with thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰
2:9 Even to prepare³⁵⁵⁹ me timber⁶⁰⁸⁶ in abundance:⁷²³⁰ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which I am about to build¹¹²⁹ shall be wonderful⁶³⁸¹ great.¹⁴¹⁹
2:10 And, behold, I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ to thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ the hewers²⁴⁰⁴ that cut³⁷⁷² timber,⁶⁰⁸⁶ twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ measures³⁷³⁴ of beaten⁴³⁴⁷ wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ measures³⁷³⁴ of barley,⁸¹⁸⁴ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths¹³²⁴ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths¹³²⁴ of oil.⁸⁰⁸¹
2:11 Then Huram²³⁶¹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Tyre⁶⁸⁶⁵ answered⁵⁵⁹ in writing,³⁷⁹¹ which he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Because the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath loved¹⁶⁰ his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ he hath made⁵⁴¹⁴ thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over them.
2:12 Huram²³⁶¹ said⁵⁵⁹ moreover, Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that made⁶²¹³ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and earth,⁷⁷⁶ who hath given⁵⁴¹⁴ to David¹⁷³² the king⁴⁴²⁸ a wise²⁴⁵⁰ son,¹¹²¹ endued³⁰⁴⁵ with prudence⁷⁹²² and understanding,⁹⁹⁸ that might build¹¹²⁹ an house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and an house¹⁰⁰⁴ for his kingdom.⁴⁴³⁸
2:13 And now I have sent⁷⁹⁷¹ a cunning²⁴⁵⁰ man,³⁷⁶ endued³⁰⁴⁵ with understanding,⁹⁹⁸ of Huram²³⁶¹ my father's,¹
2:14 The son¹¹²¹ of a woman⁸⁰² of the daughters¹³²³ of Dan,¹⁸³⁵ and his father¹ was a man³⁷⁶ of Tyre,⁶⁸⁷⁶ skilful³⁰⁴⁵ to work⁶²¹³ in gold,²⁰⁹¹ and in silver,³⁷⁰¹ in brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ in iron,¹²⁷⁰ in stone,⁶⁸ and in timber,⁶⁰⁸⁶ in purple,⁷¹³ in blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and in fine linen,⁹⁴⁸ and in crimson;³⁷⁵⁸ also to grave⁶⁶⁰⁵ any manner of graving,⁶⁶⁰³ and to find out²⁸⁰³ every device⁴²⁸⁴ which shall be put⁵⁴¹⁴ to him, with thy cunning men,²⁴⁵⁰ and with the cunning men²⁴⁵⁰ of my lord¹¹³ David¹⁷³² thy father.¹
2:15 Now therefore the wheat,²⁴⁰⁶ and the barley,⁸¹⁸⁴ the oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and the wine,³¹⁹⁶ which my lord¹¹³ hath spoken⁵⁵⁹ of, let him send⁷⁹⁷¹ unto his servants:⁵⁶⁵⁰
2:16 And we will cut³⁷⁷² wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ out of Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ as much as thou shalt need:⁶⁸⁷⁸ and we will bring⁹³⁵ it to thee in floats⁷⁵¹³ by sea³²²⁰ to Joppa;³³⁰⁵ and thou shalt carry it up⁵⁹²⁷ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
2:17^C And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ numbered⁵⁶⁰⁸ all the strangers^5821616 that were in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ after³¹⁰ the numbering⁵⁶¹⁰ wherewith David¹⁷³² his father¹ had numbered⁵⁶⁰⁸ them; and they were found⁴⁶⁷² an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² thousand⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred.³⁹⁶⁷
2:18 And he set⁶²¹³ threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ of them to be bearers of burdens,⁵⁴⁴⁹ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵ to be hewers²⁶⁷² in the mountain,²⁰²² and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ and six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ overseers⁵³²⁹ to set⁵⁶⁴⁷ ➔ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ a work.⁵⁶⁴⁷

[2 Chronicles 3]
3:1^C Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ began²⁴⁹⁰ to build¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ in mount²⁰²² Moriah,⁴¹⁷⁹ where the LORD appeared⁷²⁰⁰ unto David¹⁷³² his father,¹ in the place⁴⁷²⁵ that David¹⁷³² had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ in the threshingfloor¹⁶³⁷ of Ornan⁷⁷¹ the Jebusite.²⁹⁸³
3:2 And he began²⁴⁹⁰ to build¹¹²⁹ in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ day of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month,²³²⁰ in the fourth⁷⁰² year⁸¹⁴¹ of his reign.⁴⁴³⁸
3:3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ was instructed³²⁴⁵ for the building¹¹²⁹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰ The length⁷⁵³ by cubits⁵²⁰ after the first⁷²²³ measure⁴⁰⁶⁰ was threescore⁸³⁴⁶ cubits,⁵²⁰ and the breadth⁷³⁴¹ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits.⁵²⁰
3:4 And the porch¹⁹⁷ that was in the front⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the house, the length⁷⁵³ of it was according to the breadth⁷³⁴¹ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits,⁵²⁰ and the height¹³⁶³ was an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty:⁶²⁴² and he overlaid⁶⁸²³ it within⁶⁴⁴¹ with pure²⁸⁸⁹ gold.²⁰⁹¹
3:5 And the greater¹⁴¹⁹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ he cieled²⁶⁴⁵ with fir¹²⁶⁵ tree,⁶⁰⁸⁶ which he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ with fine²⁸⁹⁶ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and set⁵⁹²⁷ thereon palm trees⁸⁵⁶¹ and chains.⁸³³³
3:6 And he garnished⁶⁸²³ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ with precious³³⁶⁸ stones⁶⁸ for beauty:⁸⁵⁹⁷ and the gold²⁰⁹¹ was gold²⁰⁹¹ of Parvaim.⁶⁵¹⁶
3:7 He overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ also the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the beams,⁶⁹⁸² the posts,⁵⁵⁹² and the walls⁷⁰²³ thereof, and the doors¹⁸¹⁷ thereof, with gold;²⁰⁹¹ and graved⁶⁶⁰⁵ cherubims³⁷⁴² on the walls.⁷⁰²³
3:8 And he made⁶²¹³ the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the length⁷⁵³ whereof was according to⁶⁴⁴⁰ the breadth⁷³⁴¹ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits,⁵²⁰ and the breadth⁷³⁴¹ thereof twenty⁶²⁴² cubits:⁵²⁰ and he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ it with fine²⁸⁹⁶ gold,²⁰⁹¹ amounting to six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ talents.³⁶⁰³
3:9 And the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of the nails⁴⁵⁴⁸ was fifty²⁵⁷² shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of gold.²⁰⁹¹ And he overlaid²⁶⁴⁵ the upper chambers⁵⁹⁴⁴ with gold.²⁰⁹¹
3:10^C And in the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ house¹⁰⁰⁴ he made⁶²¹³ two⁸¹⁴⁷ cherubims³⁷⁴² of image⁶⁸¹⁶ work,⁴⁶³⁹ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ them with gold.²⁰⁹¹
3:11 And the wings³⁶⁷¹ of the cherubims³⁷⁴² were twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ long:⁷⁵³ one²⁵⁹ wing³⁶⁷¹ of the one cherub was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wall⁷⁰²³ of the house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and the other³¹² wing³⁶⁷¹ was likewise five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other³¹² cherub.³⁷⁴²
3:12 And one wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other²⁵⁹ cherub³⁷⁴² was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits,⁵²⁰ reaching⁵⁰⁶⁰ to the wall⁷⁰²³ of the house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and the other³¹² wing³⁶⁷¹ was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ also, joining¹⁶⁹⁵ to the wing³⁶⁷¹ of the other³¹² cherub.³⁷⁴²
3:13 The wings³⁶⁷¹ of these cherubims³⁷⁴² spread themselves forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits:⁵²⁰ and they stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ on their feet,⁷²⁷² and their faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ were inward.¹⁰⁰⁴
3:14^C And he made⁶²¹³ the vail⁶⁵³² of blue,⁸⁵⁰⁴ and purple,⁷¹³ and crimson,³⁷⁵⁸ and fine linen,⁹⁴⁸ and wrought⁵⁹²⁷ cherubims³⁷⁴² thereon.
3:15 Also he made⁶²¹³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars⁵⁹⁸² of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ high,⁷⁵³ and the chapiter⁶⁸⁵⁸ that was on the top⁷²¹⁸ of each of them was five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits.⁵²⁰
3:16 And he made⁶²¹³ chains,⁸³³³ as in the oracle,¹⁶⁸⁷ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ them on the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the pillars;⁵⁹⁸² and made⁶²¹³ an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ pomegranates,⁷⁴¹⁶ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ them on the chains.⁸³³³
3:17 And he reared up⁶⁹⁶⁵ the pillars⁵⁹⁸² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ one²⁵⁹ on the right hand,³²²⁵ and the other²⁵⁹ on the left;⁸⁰⁴⁰ and called⁷¹²¹ the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that on the right hand^32333227 Jachin,³¹⁹⁹ and the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that on the left⁸⁰⁴² Boaz.¹¹⁶²

[2 Chronicles 4]
4:1^C Moreover he made⁶²¹³ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ the length⁷⁵³ thereof, and twenty⁶²⁴² cubits⁵²⁰ the breadth⁷³⁴¹ thereof, and ten⁶²³⁵ cubits⁵²⁰ the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ thereof.
4:2 Also he made⁶²¹³ a molten³³³² sea³²²⁰ of ten⁶²³⁵ cubits⁵²⁰ from brim⁸¹⁹³ to brim,⁸¹⁹³ round⁵⁶⁹⁶ in compass,⁵⁴³⁹ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ the height⁶⁹⁶⁷ thereof; and a line⁶⁹⁵⁷ of thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ cubits⁵²⁰ did compass⁵⁴³⁷ it round about.⁵⁴³⁹
4:3 And under it was the similitude¹⁸²³ of oxen,¹²⁴¹ which did compass⁵⁴³⁷ it round about:⁵⁴³⁹ ten⁶²³⁵ in a cubit,⁵²⁰ compassing⁵³⁶² the sea³²²⁰ round about.⁵⁴³⁹ Two⁸¹⁴⁷ rows²⁹⁰⁵ of oxen¹²⁴¹ were cast,³³³² when it was cast.⁴¹⁶⁶
4:4 It stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ upon twelve^81476240 oxen,¹²⁴¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the north,⁶⁸²⁸ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the west,³²²⁰ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the south,⁵⁰⁴⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ looking⁶⁴³⁷ toward the east:⁴²¹⁷ and the sea³²²⁰ was set above⁴⁶⁰⁵ upon them, and all their hinder parts²⁶⁸ were inward.¹⁰⁰⁴
4:5 And the thickness⁵⁶⁷² of it was an handbreadth,²⁹⁴⁷ and the brim⁸¹⁹³ of it like the work⁴⁶³⁹ of the brim⁸¹⁹³ of a cup,³⁵⁶³ with flowers⁶⁵²⁵ of lilies;⁷⁷⁹⁹ and it received²³⁸⁸ and held³⁵⁵⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ baths.¹³²⁴
4:6 He made⁶²¹³ also ten⁶²³⁵ lavers,³⁵⁹⁵ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right hand,³²²⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left,⁸⁰⁴⁰ to wash⁷³⁶⁴ in them: such things as they offered⁴⁶³⁹ for the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ they washed¹⁷⁴⁰ in them; but the sea³²²⁰ was for the priests³⁵⁴⁸ to wash in.⁷³⁶⁴
4:7 And he made⁶²¹³ ten⁶²³⁵ candlesticks⁴⁵⁰¹ of gold²⁰⁹¹ according to their form,⁴⁹⁴¹ and set⁵⁴¹⁴ them in the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right hand,³²²⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left.⁸⁰⁴⁰
4:8 He made⁶²¹³ also ten⁶²³⁵ tables,⁷⁹⁷⁹ and placed³²⁴⁰ them in the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ on the right side,³²²⁵ and five²⁵⁶⁸ on the left.⁸⁰⁴⁰ And he made⁶²¹³ an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ basons⁴²¹⁹ of gold.²⁰⁹¹
4:9 Furthermore he made⁶²¹³ the court²⁶⁹¹ of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and the great¹⁴¹⁹ court,⁵⁸³⁵ and doors¹⁸¹⁷ for the court,⁵⁸³⁵ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of them with brass.⁵¹⁷⁸
4:10 And he set⁵⁴¹⁴ the sea³²²⁰ on the right³²³³ side³⁸⁰² of the east end,⁶⁹²⁴ over against⁴¹³⁶ the south.⁵⁰⁴⁵
4:11 And Huram²³⁶¹ made⁶²¹³ the pots,⁵⁵¹⁸ and the shovels,³²⁵⁷ and the basons.⁴²¹⁹ And Huram^23612438 finished^36156213 the work⁴³⁹⁹ that he was to make⁶²¹³ for king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God;⁴³⁰
4:12 To wit, the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pillars,⁵⁹⁸² and the pommels,¹⁵⁴³ and the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which were on the top⁷²¹⁸ of the two pillars,⁵⁹⁸² and the two⁸¹⁴⁷ wreaths⁷⁶³⁹ to cover³⁶⁸⁰ the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pommels¹⁵⁴³ of the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which were on the top⁷²¹⁸ of the pillars;⁵⁹⁸²
4:13 And four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ on the two⁸¹⁴⁷ wreaths;⁷⁶³⁹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ rows²⁹⁰⁵ of pomegranates⁷⁴¹⁶ on each²⁵⁹ wreath,⁷⁶³⁹ to cover³⁶⁸⁰ the two⁸¹⁴⁷ pommels¹⁵⁴³ of the chapiters³⁸⁰⁵ which were upon⁶⁴⁴⁰ the pillars.⁵⁹⁸²
4:14 He made⁶²¹³ also bases,⁴³⁵⁰ and lavers³⁵⁹⁵ made⁶²¹³ he upon the bases;⁴³⁵⁰
4:15 One²⁵⁹ sea,³²²⁰ and twelve^81476240 oxen¹²⁴¹ under it.
4:16 The pots⁵⁵¹⁸ also, and the shovels,³²⁵⁷ and the fleshhooks,⁴²⁰⁷ and all their instruments,³⁶²⁷ did Huram²³⁶¹ his father¹ make⁶²¹³ to king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of bright⁴⁸³⁸ brass.⁵¹⁷⁸
4:17 In the plain³⁶⁰³ of Jordan³³⁸³ did the king⁴⁴²⁸ cast³³³² them, in the clay⁵⁶⁴⁵ ground¹²⁷ between Succoth⁵⁵²³ and Zeredathah.⁶⁸⁶⁸
4:18 Thus Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ all these vessels³⁶²⁷ in great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance:⁷²³⁰ for the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of the brass⁵¹⁷⁸ could not be found out.²⁷¹³
4:19^C And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ all the vessels³⁶²⁷ that were for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God,⁴³⁰ the golden²⁰⁹¹ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ also, and the tables⁷⁹⁷⁹ whereon the shewbread^38996440 was set;
4:20^C Moreover the candlesticks⁴⁵⁰¹ with their lamps,⁵²¹⁶ that they should burn¹¹⁹⁷ after the manner⁴⁹⁴¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the oracle,¹⁶⁸⁷ of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold;²⁰⁹¹
4:21 And the flowers,⁶⁵²⁵ and the lamps,⁵²¹⁶ and the tongs,⁴⁴⁵⁷ made he of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and that perfect⁴³⁵⁷ gold;²⁰⁹¹
4:22 And the snuffers,⁴²¹² and the basons,⁴²¹⁹ and the spoons,³⁷⁰⁹ and the censers,⁴²⁸⁹ of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold:²⁰⁹¹ and the entry⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the inner⁶⁴⁴² doors¹⁸¹⁷ thereof for the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place, and the doors¹⁸¹⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the temple,¹⁹⁶⁴ were of gold.²⁰⁹¹

[2 Chronicles 5]
5:1^C Thus all the work⁴³⁹⁹ that Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was finished:⁷⁹⁹⁹ and Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ brought⁹³⁵ in all the things⁶⁹⁴⁴ ➔ that David¹⁷³² his father¹ had dedicated;⁶⁹⁴⁴ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ and the gold,²⁰⁹¹ and all the instruments,³⁶²⁷ put⁵⁴¹⁴ he among the treasures²¹⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰
5:2^C Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ assembled⁶⁹⁵⁰ the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and all the heads⁷²¹⁸ of the tribes,⁴²⁹⁴ the chief⁵³⁸⁷ of the fathers¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ unto Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to bring up⁵⁹²⁷ the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ out of the city⁵⁸⁹² of David,¹⁷³² which is Zion.⁶⁷²⁶
5:3^C Wherefore all the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ assembled⁶⁹⁵⁰ themselves unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ in the feast²²⁸² which was in the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month.²³²⁰
5:4 And all the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came;⁹³⁵ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ took up⁵³⁷⁵ the ark.⁷²⁷
5:5^C And they brought up⁵⁹²⁷ the ark,⁷²⁷ and the tabernacle¹⁶⁸ of the congregation,⁴¹⁵⁰ and all the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ vessels³⁶²⁷ that were in the tabernacle,¹⁶⁸ these did the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ bring up.⁵⁹²⁷
5:6 Also king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and all the congregation⁵⁷¹² of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were assembled³²⁵⁹ unto him before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the ark,⁷²⁷ sacrificed²⁰⁷⁶ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and oxen,¹²⁴¹ which could not be told⁵⁶⁰⁸ nor numbered⁴⁴⁸⁷ for multitude.⁷²³⁰
5:7^C And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ brought in⁹³⁵ the ark⁷²⁷ of the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ unto his place,⁴⁷²⁵ to the oracle¹⁶⁸⁷ of the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ into the most⁶⁹⁴⁴ holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place, even under the wings³⁶⁷¹ of the cherubims:³⁷⁴²
5:8 For the cherubims³⁷⁴² spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ their wings³⁶⁷¹ over the place⁴⁷²⁵ of the ark,⁷²⁷ and the cherubims³⁷⁴² covered³⁶⁸⁰ the ark⁷²⁷ and the staves⁹⁰⁵ thereof above.⁴⁶⁰⁵
5:9 And they drew out⁷⁴⁸ the staves⁹⁰⁵ of the ark, that the ends⁷²¹⁸ of the staves⁹⁰⁵ were seen⁷²⁰⁰ from the ark⁷²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the oracle;¹⁶⁸⁷ but they were not seen⁷²⁰⁰ without.²³⁵¹ And there it is unto this day.³¹¹⁷
5:10^C There was nothing in the ark⁷²⁷ save the two⁸¹⁴⁷ tables³⁸⁷¹ which Moses⁴⁸⁷² put⁵⁴¹⁴ therein at Horeb,²⁷²² when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ made³⁷⁷² a covenant with the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when they came out³³¹⁸ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴
5:11 And it came to pass, when the priests³⁵⁴⁸ were come out³³¹⁸ of the holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ place: (for all the priests³⁵⁴⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² were sanctified,⁶⁹⁴² and did not then wait⁸¹⁰⁴ by course:⁴²⁵⁶
5:12^C Also the Levites³⁸⁸¹ which were the singers,⁷⁸⁹¹ all of them of Asaph,⁶²³ of Heman,¹⁹⁶⁸ of Jeduthun,³⁰³⁸ with their sons¹¹²¹ and their brethren,²⁵¹ being arrayed³⁸⁴⁷ in white linen,⁹⁴⁸ having cymbals⁴⁷⁰⁰ and psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ and harps,³⁶⁵⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ at the east end⁴²¹⁷ of the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ and with them an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounding²⁶⁹⁰ with trumpets:)²⁶⁸⁹
5:13^C It came even to pass, as the trumpeters^26902690 and singers⁷⁸⁹¹ were as one,²⁵⁹ to make one²⁵⁹ sound⁶⁹⁶³ to be heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in praising¹⁹⁸⁴ and thanking³⁰³⁴ the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and when they lifted up⁷³¹¹ their voice⁶⁹⁶³ with the trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ and cymbals⁴⁷⁰⁰ and instruments³⁶²⁷ of musick,⁷⁸⁹² and praised¹⁹⁸⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying, For he is good;²⁸⁹⁶ for his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth for ever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ that then the house¹⁰⁰⁴ was filled⁴³⁹⁰ with a cloud,⁶⁰⁵¹ even the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸
5:14^C So that the priests³⁵⁴⁸ could³²⁰¹ not stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ to minister⁸³³⁴ by reason⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the cloud:⁶⁰⁵¹ for the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had filled⁴³⁹⁰ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰

[2 Chronicles 6]
6:1 Then said⁵⁵⁹ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath said⁵⁵⁹ that he would dwell⁷⁹³¹ in the thick darkness.⁶²⁰⁵
6:2 But I have built¹¹²⁹ an house¹⁰⁰⁴ of habitation²⁰⁷³ for thee, and a place⁴³⁴⁹ for thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ for ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹
6:3 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ turned⁵⁴³⁷ his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and blessed¹²⁸⁸ the whole congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and all the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood.⁵⁹⁷⁵
6:4 And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ who hath with his hands³⁰²⁷ fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ that which he spake¹⁶⁹⁶ with his mouth⁶³¹⁰ to my father¹ David,¹⁷³² saying,⁵⁵⁹
6:5 Since the day³¹¹⁷ that I brought forth³³¹⁸ my people⁵⁹⁷¹ out of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ I chose⁹⁷⁷ no city⁵⁸⁹² among all the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to build¹¹²⁹ an house¹⁰⁰⁴ in, that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be there; neither chose⁹⁷⁷ I any man³⁷⁶ to be a ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ over my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸
6:6 But I have chosen⁹⁷⁷ Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ that my name⁸⁰³⁴ might be there; and have chosen⁹⁷⁷ David¹⁷³² to be over my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
6:7 Now it was in the heart³⁸²⁴ of David¹⁷³² my father¹ to build¹¹²⁹ an house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
6:8 But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to David¹⁷³² my father,¹ Forasmuch as it was in thine heart³⁸²⁴ to build¹¹²⁹ an house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name,⁸⁰³⁴ thou didst well²⁸⁹⁵ in that it was in thine heart:³⁸²⁴
6:9^C Notwithstanding⁷⁵³⁵ thou shalt not build¹¹²⁹ the house;¹⁰⁰⁴ but thy son¹¹²¹ which shall come forth³³¹⁸ out of thy loins,²⁵⁰⁴ he shall build¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ for my name.⁸⁰³⁴
6:10 The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ therefore hath performed⁶⁹⁶⁵ his word¹⁶⁹⁷ that he hath spoken:¹⁶⁹⁶ for I am risen up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the room of David¹⁷³² my father,¹ and am set³⁴²⁷ on the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ as the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ promised,¹⁶⁹⁶ and have built¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
6:11 And in it⁸⁰³³ have I put⁷⁷⁶⁰ the ark,⁷²⁷ wherein is the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that he made³⁷⁷² with the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
6:12 And he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the presence of all the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands:³⁷⁰⁹
6:13 For Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ a brasen⁵¹⁷⁸ scaffold,³⁵⁹⁵ of five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ long,⁷⁵³ and five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ broad,⁷³⁴¹ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ cubits⁵²⁰ high,⁶⁹⁶⁷ and had set⁵⁴¹⁴ it in the midst⁸⁴³² of the court:⁵⁸³⁵ and upon it he stood,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and kneeled down¹²⁸⁸ upon his knees¹²⁹⁰ before all the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ toward heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴
6:14 And said,⁵⁵⁹ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ there is no God⁴³⁰ like thee in the heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ nor in the earth;⁷⁷⁶ which keepest⁸¹⁰⁴ covenant,¹²⁸⁵ and shewest mercy²⁶¹⁷ unto thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ that walk¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee with all their hearts:³⁸²⁰
6:15 Thou which hast kept⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father¹ that which thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ him; and spakest¹⁶⁹⁶ with thy mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and hast fulfilled⁴³⁹⁰ it with thine hand,³⁰²⁷ as it is this day.³¹¹⁷
6:16 Now therefore, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ keep⁸¹⁰⁴ with thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David¹⁷³² my father¹ that which thou hast promised¹⁶⁹⁶ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ There shall not fail³⁷⁷² thee a man³⁷⁶ in my sight⁶⁴⁴⁰ to sit³⁴²⁷ upon the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ yet so⁷⁵³⁵ that thy children¹¹²¹ take heed⁸¹⁰⁴ to their way¹⁸⁷⁰ to walk³²¹² in my law,⁸⁴⁵¹ as thou hast walked¹⁹⁸⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me.
6:17 Now then, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ let thy word¹⁶⁹⁷ be verified,⁵³⁹ which thou hast spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ David.¹⁷³²
6:18 But will God⁴³⁰ in very deed⁵⁵² dwell³⁴²⁷ with men¹²⁰ on the earth?⁷⁷⁶ behold, heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ and the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ of heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ cannot contain³⁵⁵⁷ thee; how much less this house¹⁰⁰⁴ which I have built!¹¹²⁹
6:19 Have respect⁶⁴³⁷ therefore to the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and to his supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto the cry⁷⁴⁴⁰ and the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee:
6:20 That thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ may be open⁶⁶⁰⁵ upon this house¹⁰⁰⁴ day³¹¹⁹ and night,³⁹¹⁵ upon the place⁴⁷²⁵ whereof thou hast said⁵⁵⁹ that thou wouldest put⁷⁷⁶⁰ thy name⁸⁰³⁴ there; to hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ which thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ prayeth⁶⁴¹⁹ toward this place.⁴⁷²⁵
6:21 Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ therefore unto the supplications⁸⁴⁶⁹ of thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which they shall make⁶⁴¹⁹ toward this place:⁴⁷²⁵ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴⁷²⁵ even from heaven;⁸⁰⁶⁴ and when thou hearest,⁸⁰⁸⁵ forgive.⁵⁵⁴⁵
6:22 If a man³⁷⁶ sin²³⁹⁸ against his neighbour,⁷⁴⁵³ and an oath⁴²³ be laid⁵³⁷⁵ upon him to make him swear,⁴²² and the oath⁴²³ come⁹³⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thine altar⁴¹⁹⁶ in this house;¹⁰⁰⁴
6:23 Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and do,⁶²¹³ and judge⁸¹⁹⁹ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ by requiting⁷⁷²⁵ the wicked,⁷⁵⁶³ by recompensing⁵⁴¹⁴ his way¹⁸⁷⁰ upon his own head;⁷²¹⁸ and by justifying⁶⁶⁶³ the righteous,⁶⁶⁶² by giving⁵⁴¹⁴ him according to his righteousness.⁶⁶⁶⁶
6:24 And if thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ be put to the worse⁵⁰⁶² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the enemy,³⁴¹ because they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; and shall return⁷⁷²⁵ and confess³⁰³⁴ thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ and make supplication²⁶⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee in this house;¹⁰⁰⁴
6:25 Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and bring them again⁷⁷²⁵ unto the land¹²⁷ which thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ to them and to their fathers.¹
6:26 When the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ is shut up,⁶¹¹³ and there is no rain,⁴³⁰⁶ because they have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee; yet if they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward this place,⁴⁷²⁵ and confess³⁰³⁴ thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their sin,²⁴⁰³ when thou dost afflict⁶⁰³¹ them;
6:27 Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ the sin²⁴⁰³ of thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when thou hast taught³³⁸⁴ them the good²⁸⁹⁶ way,¹⁸⁷⁰ wherein they should walk;³²¹² and send⁵⁴¹⁴ rain⁴³⁰⁶ upon thy land,⁷⁷⁶ which thou hast given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ for an inheritance.⁵¹⁵⁹
6:28 If there be dearth⁷⁴⁵⁸ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ if there be pestilence,¹⁶⁹⁸ if there be blasting,⁷⁷¹¹ or mildew,³⁴²⁰ locusts,⁶⁹⁷ or caterpillers;²⁶²⁵ if their enemies³⁴¹ besiege⁶⁸⁸⁷ them in the cities⁸¹⁷⁹ of their land;⁷⁷⁶ whatsoever sore⁵⁰⁶¹ or whatsoever sickness⁴²⁴⁵ there be:
6:29 Then what prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ or what supplication⁸⁴⁶⁷ soever shall be made of any man,¹²⁰ or of all thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ when every one³⁷⁶ shall know³⁰⁴⁵ his own sore⁵⁰⁶¹ and his own grief,⁴³⁴¹ and shall spread forth⁶⁵⁶⁶ his hands³⁷⁰⁹ in this house:¹⁰⁰⁴
6:30 Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ and forgive,⁵⁵⁴⁵ and render⁵⁴¹⁴ unto every man³⁷⁶ according unto all his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ whose heart³⁸²⁴ thou knowest;³⁰⁴⁵ (for thou only knowest³⁰⁴⁵ the hearts³⁸²⁴ of the children¹¹²¹ of men:)¹²⁰
6:31 That they may fear³³⁷² thee, to walk³²¹² in thy ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ so long as³¹¹⁷ they live^24166440 in the land¹²⁷ which thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto our fathers.¹
6:32 Moreover concerning the stranger,⁵²³⁷ which is not of thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ but is come⁹³⁵ from a far⁷³⁵⁰ country⁷⁷⁶ for thy great¹⁴¹⁹ name's⁸⁰³⁴ sake, and thy mighty²³⁸⁹ hand,³⁰²⁷ and thy stretched out⁵¹⁸⁶ arm;²²²⁰ if they come⁹³⁵ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ in this house;¹⁰⁰⁴
6:33 Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ even from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ and do⁶²¹³ according to all that the stranger⁵²³⁷ calleth⁷¹²¹ to thee for; that all people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ may know³⁰⁴⁵ thy name,⁸⁰³⁴ and fear³³⁷² thee, as doth thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and may know³⁰⁴⁵ that this house¹⁰⁰⁴ which I have built¹¹²⁹ is called⁷¹²¹ by thy name.⁸⁰³⁴
6:34 If thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ go out³³¹⁸ to war⁴⁴²¹ against their enemies³⁴¹ by the way¹⁸⁷⁰ that thou shalt send⁷⁹⁷¹ them, and they pray⁶⁴¹⁹ unto thee toward¹⁸⁷⁰ this city⁵⁸⁹² which thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name;⁸⁰³⁴
6:35 Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplication,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause.⁴⁹⁴¹
6:36 If they sin²³⁹⁸ against thee, (for there is no man¹²⁰ which sinneth²³⁹⁸ not,) and thou be angry⁵⁹⁹ with them, and deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them over before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies,³⁴¹ and they carry them away⁷⁶¹⁷ captives⁷⁶¹⁷ unto a land⁷⁷⁶ far off⁷³⁵⁰ or near;⁷¹³⁸
6:37 Yet if they bethink^77253824 themselves in the land⁷⁷⁶ whither they are carried captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ and pray²⁶⁰³ unto thee in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ We have sinned,²³⁹⁸ we have done amiss,⁵⁷⁵³ and have dealt wickedly;⁷⁵⁶¹
6:38 If they return⁷⁷²⁵ to thee with all their heart³⁸²⁰ and with all their soul⁵³¹⁵ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of their captivity,⁷⁶²⁸ whither they have carried them captives,⁷⁶¹⁷ and pray⁶⁴¹⁹ toward¹⁸⁷⁰ their land,⁷⁷⁶ which thou gavest⁵⁴¹⁴ unto their fathers,¹ and toward the city⁵⁸⁹² which thou hast chosen,⁹⁷⁷ and toward the house¹⁰⁰⁴ which I have built¹¹²⁹ for thy name:⁸⁰³⁴
6:39 Then hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thou from the heavens,⁸⁰⁶⁴ even from thy dwelling³⁴²⁷ place,⁴³⁴⁹ their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ and their supplications,⁸⁴⁶⁷ and maintain⁶²¹³ their cause,⁴⁹⁴¹ and forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ thy people⁵⁹⁷¹ which have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee.
6:40 Now, my God,⁴³⁰ let, I beseech thee, thine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ be open,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and let thine ears²⁴¹ be attent⁷¹⁸³ unto the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ that is made in this place.⁴⁷²⁵
6:41 Now therefore arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ into thy resting⁵¹¹⁸ place, thou, and the ark⁷²⁷ of thy strength:⁵⁷⁹⁷ let thy priests,³⁵⁴⁸ O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ be clothed³⁸⁴⁷ with salvation,⁸⁶⁶⁸ and let thy saints²⁶²³ rejoice⁸⁰⁵⁵ in goodness.²⁸⁹⁶
6:42 O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ turn not away⁷⁷²⁵ the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of thine anointed:⁴⁸⁹⁹ remember²¹⁴² the mercies²⁶¹⁷ of David¹⁷³² thy servant.⁵⁶⁵⁰

[2 Chronicles 7]
7:1 Now when Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of praying,⁶⁴¹⁹ the fire⁷⁸⁴ came down³³⁸¹ from heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and consumed³⁹⁸ the burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ and the sacrifices;²⁰⁷⁷ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ filled⁴³⁹⁰ the house.¹⁰⁰⁴
7:2 And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ could³²⁰¹ not enter⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ because the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had filled⁴³⁹⁰ the LORD'S³⁰⁶⁸ house.¹⁰⁰⁴
7:3 And when all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ how the fire⁷⁸⁴ came down,³³⁸¹ and the glory³⁵¹⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ upon the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ they bowed³⁷⁶⁶ themselves with their faces⁶³⁹ to the ground⁷⁷⁶ upon the pavement,⁷⁵³¹ and worshipped,⁷⁸¹² and praised³⁰³⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying, For he is good;²⁸⁹⁶ for his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth for ever.⁵⁷⁶⁹
7:4 Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ offered²⁰⁷⁶ sacrifices²⁰⁷⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸
7:5 And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ offered²⁰⁷⁶ a sacrifice²⁰⁷⁷ of twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ oxen,¹²⁴¹ and an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep:⁶⁶²⁹ so the king⁴⁴²⁸ and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ dedicated²⁵⁹⁶ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of God.⁴³⁰
7:6 And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ waited⁵⁹⁷⁵ on their offices:⁴⁹³¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ also with instruments³⁶²⁷ of musick⁷⁸⁹² of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which David¹⁷³² the king⁴⁴²⁸ had made⁶²¹³ to praise³⁰³⁴ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ because his mercy²⁶¹⁷ endureth for ever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ when David¹⁷³² praised¹⁹⁸⁴ by their ministry;³⁰²⁷ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounded trumpets^26902690 before them, and all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stood.⁵⁹⁷⁵
7:7 Moreover Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ hallowed⁶⁹⁴² the middle⁸⁴³² of the court²⁶⁹¹ that was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ for there he offered⁶²¹³ burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and the fat²⁴⁵⁹ of the peace offerings,⁸⁰⁰² because the brasen⁵¹⁷⁸ altar⁴¹⁹⁶ which Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made⁶²¹³ was not able³²⁰¹ to receive³⁵⁵⁷ the burnt offerings,⁵⁹³⁰ and the meat offerings,⁴⁵⁰³ and the fat.²⁴⁵⁹
7:8^C Also at the same time⁶²⁵⁶ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ kept⁶²¹³ the feast²²⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ and all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with him, a very³⁹⁶⁶ great¹⁴¹⁹ congregation,⁶⁹⁵¹ from the entering in⁹³⁵ of Hamath²⁵⁷⁴ unto the river⁵¹⁵⁸ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴
7:9 And in the eighth⁸⁰⁶⁶ day³¹¹⁷ they made⁶²¹³ a solemn assembly:⁶¹¹⁶ for they kept⁶²¹³ the dedication²⁵⁹⁸ of the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ and the feast²²⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days.³¹¹⁷
7:10 And on the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ and twentieth⁶²⁴² day³¹¹⁷ of the seventh⁷⁶³⁷ month²³²⁰ he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ ➔ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ away⁷⁹⁷¹ into their tents,¹⁶⁸ glad⁸⁰⁵⁶ and merry²⁸⁹⁶ in heart³⁸²⁰ for the goodness²⁸⁹⁶ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had shewed⁶²¹³ unto David,¹⁷³² and to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and to Israel³⁴⁷⁸ his people.⁵⁹⁷¹
7:11 Thus Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ finished³⁶¹⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and all that came⁹³⁵ into Solomon's⁸⁰¹⁰ heart³⁸²⁰ to make⁶²¹³ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and in his own house,¹⁰⁰⁴ he prosperously effected.⁶⁷⁴³
7:12 And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ appeared⁷²⁰⁰ to Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ by night,³⁹¹⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ thy prayer,⁸⁶⁰⁵ and have chosen⁹⁷⁷ this place⁴⁷²⁵ to myself for an house¹⁰⁰⁴ of sacrifice.²⁰⁷⁷
7:13 If²⁰⁰⁵ I shut up⁶¹¹³ heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ that there be no rain,⁴³⁰⁶ or if I command⁶⁶⁸⁰ the locusts²²⁸⁴ to devour³⁹⁸ the land,⁷⁷⁶ or if I send⁷⁹⁷¹ pestilence¹⁶⁹⁸ among my people;⁵⁹⁷¹
7:14^C If my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which are called⁷¹²¹ by my name,⁸⁰³⁴ shall humble³⁶⁶⁵ themselves, and pray,⁶⁴¹⁹ and seek¹²⁴⁵ my face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and turn⁷⁷²⁵ from their wicked⁷⁴⁵¹ ways;¹⁸⁷⁰ then will I hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ from heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and will forgive⁵⁵⁴⁵ their sin,²⁴⁰³ and will heal⁷⁴⁹⁵ their land.⁷⁷⁶
7:15 Now mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ shall be open,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and mine ears²⁴¹ attent⁷¹⁸³ unto the prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ that is made in this place.⁴⁷²⁵
7:16 For now have I chosen⁹⁷⁷ and sanctified⁶⁹⁴² this house,¹⁰⁰⁴ that my name⁸⁰³⁴ may be there for⁵⁷⁰⁴ ever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ and mine heart³⁸²⁰ shall be there perpetually.³¹¹⁷
7:17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk³²¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me, as David¹⁷³² thy father¹ walked,¹⁹⁸⁰ and do⁶²¹³ according to all that I have commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee, and shalt observe⁸¹⁰⁴ my statutes²⁷⁰⁶ and my judgments;⁴⁹⁴¹
7:18 Then will I stablish⁶⁹⁶⁵ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of thy kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ according as I have covenanted³⁷⁷² with David¹⁷³² thy father,¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ There shall not fail³⁷⁷² thee a man³⁷⁶ to be ruler⁴⁹¹⁰ in Israel.³⁴⁷⁸
7:19 But if ye turn away,⁷⁷²⁵ and forsake⁵⁸⁰⁰ my statutes²⁷⁰⁸ and my commandments,⁴⁶⁸⁷ which I have set⁵⁴¹⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ you, and shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and worship⁷⁸¹² them;
7:20^C Then will I pluck them up by the roots⁵⁴²⁸ out of my land¹²⁷ which I have given⁵⁴¹⁴ them; and this house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which I have sanctified⁶⁹⁴² for my name,⁸⁰³⁴ will I cast out⁷⁹⁹³ of my sight,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and will make⁵⁴¹⁴ it to be a proverb⁴⁹¹² and a byword⁸¹⁴⁸ among all nations.⁵⁹⁷¹
7:21 And this house,¹⁰⁰⁴ which is high,⁵⁹⁴⁵ shall be an astonishment⁸⁰⁷⁴ to every one that passeth⁵⁶⁷⁴ by it; so that he shall say,⁵⁵⁹ Why hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ done⁶²¹³ thus unto this land,⁷⁷⁶ and unto this house?¹⁰⁰⁴
7:22 And it shall be answered,⁵⁵⁹ Because they forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ which brought them forth³³¹⁸ out of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and laid hold²³⁸⁸ on other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ and worshipped⁷⁸¹² them, and served⁵⁶⁴⁷ them: therefore hath he brought⁹³⁵ all this evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon them.

[2 Chronicles 8]
8:1 And it came to pass at the end⁷⁰⁹³ of twenty⁶²⁴² years,⁸¹⁴¹ wherein Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had built¹¹²⁹ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and his own house,¹⁰⁰⁴
8:2 That the cities⁵⁸⁹² which Huram²³⁶¹ had restored⁵⁴¹⁴ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ built¹¹²⁹ them, and caused the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to dwell³⁴²⁷ there.
8:3 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ went³²¹² to Hamathzobah,²⁵⁷⁸ and prevailed²³⁸⁸ against it.
8:4 And he built¹¹²⁹ Tadmor⁸⁴¹² in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and all the store⁴⁵⁴³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² which he built¹¹²⁹ in Hamath.²⁵⁷⁴
8:5 Also he built¹¹²⁹ Bethhoron¹⁰³² the upper,⁵⁹⁴⁵ and Bethhoron¹⁰³² the nether,⁸⁴⁸¹ fenced⁴⁶⁹² cities,⁵⁸⁹² with walls,²³⁴⁶ gates,¹⁸¹⁷ and bars;¹²⁸⁰
8:6 And Baalath,¹¹⁹¹ and all the store⁴⁵⁴³ cities⁵⁸⁹² that Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had, and all the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ and all that Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ desired^28362837 to build¹¹²⁹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and in Lebanon,³⁸⁴⁴ and throughout all the land⁷⁷⁶ of his dominion.⁴⁴⁷⁵
8:7 As for all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were left³⁴⁹⁸ of the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ and the Perizzites,⁶⁵²² and the Hivites,²³⁴⁰ and the Jebusites,²⁹⁸³ which were not of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸
8:8 But of their children,¹¹²¹ who were left³⁴⁹⁸ after³¹⁰ them in the land,⁷⁷⁶ whom the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ consumed³⁶¹⁵ not, them did Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ make to pay⁵⁹²⁷ tribute⁴⁵²² until this day.³¹¹⁷
8:9 But of the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ did Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ make⁵⁴¹⁴ no servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ for his work;⁴³⁹⁹ but they were men⁵⁸² of war,⁴⁴²¹ and chief⁸²⁶⁹ of his captains,⁷⁹⁹¹ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ of his chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen.⁶⁵⁷¹
8:10 And these were the chief⁸²⁶⁹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon's⁸⁰¹⁰ officers,^53245333 even two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty,²⁵⁷² that bare rule⁷²⁸⁷ over the people.⁵⁹⁷¹
8:11 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ brought up⁵⁹²⁷ the daughter¹³²³ of Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ out of the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that he had built¹¹²⁹ for her: for he said,⁵⁵⁹ My wife⁸⁰² shall not dwell³⁴²⁷ in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ because the places are holy,⁶⁹⁴⁴ whereunto the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath come.⁹³⁵
8:12 Then Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ offered⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ on the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ which he had built¹¹²⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the porch,¹⁹⁷
8:13 Even after a certain rate¹⁶⁹⁷ every day,³¹¹⁷ offering⁵⁹²⁷ according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of Moses,⁴⁸⁷² on the sabbaths,⁷⁶⁷⁶ and on the new moons,²³²⁰ and on the solemn feasts,⁴¹⁵⁰ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ times⁶⁴⁷¹ in the year,⁸¹⁴¹ even in the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread,⁴⁶⁸² and in the feast²²⁸² of weeks,⁷⁶²⁰ and in the feast²²⁸² of tabernacles.⁵⁵²¹
8:14 And he appointed,⁵⁹⁷⁵ according to the order⁴⁹⁴¹ of David¹⁷³² his father,¹ the courses⁴²⁵⁶ of the priests³⁵⁴⁸ to their service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ to their charges,⁴⁹³¹ to praise¹⁹⁸⁴ and minister⁸³³⁴ before the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ as the duty¹⁶⁹⁷ of every day³¹¹⁷ required:³¹¹⁷ the porters⁷⁷⁷⁸ also by their courses⁴²⁵⁶ at every gate:⁸¹⁷⁹ for so had David¹⁷³² the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ commanded.⁴⁶⁸⁷
8:15 And they departed⁵⁴⁹³ not from the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ unto the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and Levites³⁸⁸¹ concerning any matter,¹⁶⁹⁷ or concerning the treasures.²¹⁴
8:16 Now all the work⁴³⁹⁹ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ was prepared³⁵⁵⁹ unto the day³¹¹⁷ of the foundation⁴¹⁴³ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and until it was finished.³⁶¹⁵ So the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was perfected.⁸⁰⁰³
8:17 Then went¹⁹⁸⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ to Eziongeber,⁶¹⁰⁰ and to Eloth,³⁵⁹ at the sea³²²⁰ side⁸¹⁹³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Edom.¹²³
8:18 And Huram²³⁶¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him by the hands³⁰²⁷ of his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ ships,⁵⁹¹⁵⁹¹ and servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ that had knowledge³⁰⁴⁵ of the sea;³²²⁰ and they went⁹³⁵ with the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ to Ophir,²¹¹ and took³⁹⁴⁷ thence four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and brought⁹³⁵ them to king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

[2 Chronicles 9]
9:1^C And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ of the fame⁸⁰⁸⁸ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she came⁹³⁵ to prove⁵²⁵⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ with hard questions²⁴²⁰ at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great³⁵¹⁵ company,²⁴²⁸ and camels¹⁵⁸¹ that bare⁵³⁷⁵ spices,¹³¹⁴ and gold²⁰⁹¹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ and when she was come⁹³⁵ to Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with him of all that was in her heart.³⁸²⁴
9:2 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her all her questions:¹⁶⁹⁷ and there was nothing hid⁵⁹⁵⁶ from Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ which he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her not.
9:3^C And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ had seen⁷²⁰⁰ the wisdom²⁴⁵¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that he had built,¹¹²⁹
9:4^C And the meat³⁹⁷⁸ of his table,⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the sitting⁴¹⁸⁶ of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and the attendance⁴⁶¹² of his ministers,⁸³³⁴ and their apparel;⁴⁴⁰³ his cupbearers⁸²⁴⁸ also, and their apparel;⁴⁴⁰³ and his ascent⁵⁹⁴⁴ by which he went up⁵⁹²⁷ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ there was no more spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in her.
9:5 And she said⁵⁵⁹ to the king,⁴⁴²⁸ It was a true⁵⁷¹ report¹⁶⁹⁷ which I heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in mine own land⁷⁷⁶ of thine acts,¹⁶⁹⁷ and of thy wisdom:²⁴⁵¹
9:6^C Howbeit I believed⁵³⁹ not their words,¹⁶⁹⁷ until I came,⁹³⁵ and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ had seen⁷²⁰⁰ it: and, behold, the one half²⁶⁷⁷ of the greatness⁴⁷⁶⁸ of thy wisdom²⁴⁵¹ was not told⁵⁰⁴⁶ me: for thou exceedest³²⁵⁴ the fame⁸⁰⁵² that I heard.⁸⁰⁸⁵
9:7 Happy⁸³⁵ are thy men,⁵⁸² and happy⁸³⁵ are these thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ which stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ thy wisdom.²⁴⁵¹
9:8 Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ which delighted²⁶⁵⁴ in thee to set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee on his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ to be king⁴⁴²⁸ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God:⁴³⁰ because thy God⁴³⁰ loved¹⁶⁰ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to establish⁵⁹⁷⁵ them for ever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ therefore made⁵⁴¹⁴ he thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over them, to do⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice.⁶⁶⁶⁶
9:9^C And she gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of spices¹³¹⁴ great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance,⁷²³⁰ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ neither was there any such spice¹³¹⁴ as the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰
9:10 And the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ also of Huram,²³⁶¹ and the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ which brought⁹³⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ from Ophir,²¹¹ brought⁹³⁵ algum⁴¹⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones.⁶⁸
9:11 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁶²¹³ of the algum⁴¹⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ terraces⁴⁵⁴⁶ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and to the king's⁴⁴²⁸ palace,¹⁰⁰⁴ and harps³⁶⁵⁸ and psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ for singers:⁷⁸⁹¹ and there were none such¹⁹⁹² seen⁷²⁰⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah.³⁰⁶³
9:12 And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ all her desire,²⁶⁵⁶ whatsoever she asked,⁷⁵⁹² beside that which she had brought⁹³⁵ unto the king.⁴⁴²⁸ So she turned,²⁰¹⁵ and went away³²¹² to her own land,⁷⁷⁶ she and her servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰
9:13 Now the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of gold²⁰⁹¹ that came⁹³⁵ to Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ in one²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ was six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and six⁸³³⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of gold;²⁰⁹¹
9:14 Beside that which chapmen^5828446 and merchants⁵⁵⁰³ brought.⁹³⁵ And all the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Arabia⁶¹⁵² and governors⁶³⁴⁶ of the country⁷⁷⁶ brought⁹³⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ and silver³⁷⁰¹ to Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰
9:15 And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ targets⁶⁷⁹³ of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to one²⁵⁹ target.⁶⁷⁹³
9:16 And three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shields⁴⁰⁴³ made he of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to one²⁵⁹ shield.⁴⁰⁴³ And the king⁴⁴²⁸ put⁵⁴¹⁴ them in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon.³⁸⁴⁴
9:17^C Moreover the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁶²¹³ a great¹⁴¹⁹ throne³⁶⁷⁸ of ivory,⁸¹²⁷ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ it with pure²⁸⁸⁹ gold.²⁰⁹¹
9:18 And there were six⁸³³⁷ steps⁴⁶⁰⁹ to the throne,³⁶⁷⁸ with a footstool³⁵³⁴ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ which were fastened²⁷⁰ to the throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and stays³⁰²⁷ on each side of the sitting³⁴²⁷ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ lions⁷³⁸ standing⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁶⁸¹ the stays:³⁰²⁷
9:19 And twelve^81476240 lions⁷³⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ there on the one side and on the other upon the six⁸³³⁷ steps.⁴⁶⁰⁹ There was not the like made⁶²¹³ in any kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷
9:20 And all the drinking⁴⁹⁴⁵ vessels³⁶²⁷ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ were of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and all the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ were of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold:²⁰⁹¹ none were of silver;³⁷⁰¹ it was not any³⁹⁷² thing accounted²⁸⁰³ of in the days³¹¹⁷ of Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰
9:21 For the king's⁴⁴²⁸ ships⁵⁹¹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Tarshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ with the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Huram:²³⁶¹ every three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ once²⁵⁹ came⁹³⁵ the ships⁵⁹¹ of Tarshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ bringing⁵³⁷⁵ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and silver,³⁷⁰¹ ivory,⁸¹⁴³ and apes,⁶⁹⁷¹ and peacocks.⁸⁵⁰⁰
9:22 And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ passed¹⁴³¹ all the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in riches⁶²³⁹ and wisdom.²⁴⁵¹
9:23^C And all the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ sought¹²⁴⁵ the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ to hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ his wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ that God⁴³⁰ had put⁵⁴¹⁴ in his heart.³⁸²⁰
9:24 And they brought⁹³⁵ every man³⁷⁶ his present,⁴⁵⁰³ vessels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and raiment,⁸⁰⁰⁸ harness,⁵⁴⁰² and spices,¹³¹⁴ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and mules,⁶⁵⁰⁵ a rate¹⁶⁹⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ by year.⁸¹⁴¹
9:25 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ stalls⁷²³ for horses⁵⁴⁸³ and chariots,⁴⁸¹⁸ and twelve^81476240 thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen;⁶⁵⁷¹ whom he bestowed³²⁴⁰ in the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and with the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
9:26 And he reigned⁴⁹¹⁰ over all the kings⁴⁴²⁸ from the river⁵¹⁰⁴ even unto the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and to the border¹³⁶⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴
9:27 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁵⁴¹⁴ silver³⁷⁰¹ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as stones,⁶⁸ and cedar trees⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he as the sycomore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that are in the low plains⁸²¹⁹ in abundance.⁷²³⁰
9:28 And they brought³³¹⁸ unto Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ horses⁵⁴⁸³ out of Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ and out of all lands.⁷⁷⁶
9:29 Now the rest⁷⁶⁰⁵ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ are they not written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and in the prophecy⁵⁰¹⁶ of Ahijah²⁸¹ the Shilonite,⁷⁸⁸⁸ and in the visions²³⁷⁸ of Iddo³²⁶⁰ the seer²³⁷⁴ against Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat?⁵⁰²⁸
9:30^C And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ over all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ forty⁷⁰⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹
9:31 And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with his fathers,¹ and he was buried⁶⁹¹² in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² his father:¹ and Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.

[2 Chronicles 10]
10:1 And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ went³²¹² to Shechem:⁷⁹²⁷ for to Shechem⁷⁹²⁷ were all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ come⁹³⁵ to make him king.⁴⁴²⁷
10:2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ who was in Egypt,⁴⁷¹⁴ whither he had fled¹²⁷² from the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, that Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ returned⁷⁷²⁵ out of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴
10:3 And they sent⁷⁹⁷¹ and called⁷¹²¹ him. So Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ and spake¹⁶⁹⁶ to Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹
10:4^C Thy father¹ made our yoke⁵⁹²³ grievous:⁷¹⁸⁵ now therefore ease⁷⁰⁴³ thou somewhat the grievous⁷¹⁸⁶ servitude⁵⁶⁵⁶ of thy father,¹ and his heavy³⁵¹⁵ yoke⁵⁹²³ that he put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon us, and we will serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ thee.
10:5 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Come again⁷⁷²⁵ unto me after three⁷⁹⁶⁹ days.³¹¹⁷ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ departed.³²¹²
10:6 And king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ took counsel³²⁸⁹ with the old²²⁰⁵ men that had stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ his father¹ while he yet lived,²⁴¹⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ What³⁴⁹ counsel give³²⁸⁹ ye me to return⁷⁷²⁵ answer¹⁶⁹⁷ to this people?⁵⁹⁷¹
10:7 And they spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ If thou be kind²⁸⁹⁶ to this people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and please⁷⁵²¹ them, and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ good²⁸⁹⁶ words¹⁶⁹⁷ to them, they will be thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ for ever.³¹¹⁷
10:8 But he forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ which the old men²²⁰⁵ gave³²⁸⁹ him, and took counsel³²⁸⁹ with the young men³²⁰⁶ that were brought up¹⁴³¹ with him, that stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.
10:9 And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, What advice³²⁸⁹ give ye that we may return⁷⁷²⁵ answer¹⁶⁹⁷ to this people,⁵⁹⁷¹ which have spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ to me, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ease⁷⁰⁴³ somewhat the yoke⁵⁹²³ that thy father¹ did put⁵⁴¹⁴ upon us?
10:10 And the young men³²⁰⁶ that were brought up¹⁴³¹ with him spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus shalt thou answer⁵⁵⁹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto thee, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thy father¹ made³⁵¹³ ➔ our yoke⁵⁹²³ heavy,³⁵¹³ but make thou it somewhat lighter⁷⁰⁴³ for us; thus shalt thou say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, My little⁶⁹⁹⁵ finger shall be thicker⁵⁶⁶⁶ than my father's¹ loins.⁴⁹⁷⁵
10:11 For whereas⁶²⁵⁸ my father¹ put⁶⁰⁰⁶ a heavy³⁵¹⁵ yoke⁵⁹²³ upon you, I will put more³²⁵⁴ to your yoke:⁵⁹²³ my father¹ chastised³²⁵⁶ you with whips,⁷⁷⁵² but I will chastise you with scorpions.⁶¹³⁷
10:12 So Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ came⁹³⁵ to Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ on the third⁷⁹⁹² day,³¹¹⁷ as the king⁴⁴²⁸ bade,¹⁶⁹⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Come again⁷⁷²⁵ to me on the third⁷⁹⁹² day.³¹¹⁷
10:13 And the king⁴⁴²⁸ answered⁶⁰³⁰ them roughly;⁷¹⁸⁶ and king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ the counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ of the old men,²²⁰⁵
10:14^C And answered¹⁶⁹⁶ them after the advice⁶⁰⁹⁸ of the young men,³²⁰⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ My father¹ made your yoke⁵⁹²³ heavy,³⁵¹³ but I will add³²⁵⁴ thereto: my father¹ chastised³²⁵⁶ you with whips,⁷⁷⁵² but I will chastise you with scorpions.⁶¹³⁷
10:15 So the king⁴⁴²⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ not unto the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ for the cause⁵²⁵² was of God,⁴³⁰ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ might perform⁶⁹⁶⁵ his word,¹⁶⁹⁷ which he spake¹⁶⁹⁶ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Ahijah²⁸¹ the Shilonite⁷⁸⁸⁸ to Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat.⁵⁰²⁸
10:16^C And when all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that the king⁴⁴²⁸ would not hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto them, the people⁵⁹⁷¹ answered⁷⁷²⁵ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ What portion²⁵⁰⁶ have we in David?¹⁷³² and we have none inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ in the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse:³⁴⁴⁸ every man³⁷⁶ to your tents,¹⁶⁸ O Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and now, David,¹⁷³² see⁷²⁰⁰ to thine own house.¹⁰⁰⁴ So all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went³²¹² to their tents.¹⁶⁸
10:17^C But as for the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ over them.
10:18 Then king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ Hadoram¹⁹¹³ that was over the tribute;⁴⁵²² and the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stoned⁷²⁷⁵ him with stones,⁶⁸ that he died.⁴¹⁹¹ But king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made speed⁵⁵³ to get him up⁵⁹²⁷ to his chariot,⁴⁸¹⁸ to flee⁵¹²⁷ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
10:19^C And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ rebelled⁶⁵⁸⁶ against the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of David¹⁷³² unto this day.³¹¹⁷

[2 Chronicles 11]
11:1 And when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was come⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ he gathered⁶⁹⁵⁰ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men, which were warriors,^62134421 to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ that he might bring⁷⁷²⁵ ➔ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ again⁷⁷²⁵ to Rehoboam.⁷³⁴⁶
11:2 But the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came to Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ saying,⁵⁵⁹
11:3 Speak⁵⁵⁹ unto Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and to all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹
11:4^C Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Ye shall not go up,⁵⁹²⁷ nor fight³⁸⁹⁸ against your brethren:²⁵¹ return⁷⁷²⁵ every man³⁷⁶ to his house:¹⁰⁰⁴ for this thing¹⁶⁹⁷ is done¹⁹⁶¹ of me. And they obeyed⁸⁰⁸⁵ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ from going³²¹² against Jeroboam.³³⁷⁹
11:5 And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and built¹¹²⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² for defence⁴⁶⁹² in Judah.³⁰⁶³
11:6 He built¹¹²⁹ even Bethlehem,¹⁰³⁵ and Etam,⁵⁸⁶² and Tekoa,⁸⁶²⁰
11:7 And Bethzur,¹⁰⁴⁹ and Shoco,⁷⁷⁵⁵ and Adullam,⁵⁷²⁵
11:8 And Gath,¹⁶⁶¹ and Mareshah,⁴⁷⁶² and Ziph,²¹²⁸
11:9 And Adoraim,¹¹⁵ and Lachish,³⁹²³ and Azekah,⁵⁸²⁵
11:10 And Zorah,⁶⁸⁸¹ and Aijalon,³⁵⁷ and Hebron,²²⁷⁵ which are in Judah³⁰⁶³ and in Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities.⁵⁸⁹²
11:11 And he fortified²³⁸⁸ the strong holds,⁴⁶⁹⁴ and put⁵⁴¹⁴ captains⁵⁰⁵⁷ in them, and store²¹⁴ of victual,³⁹⁷⁸ and of oil⁸⁰⁸¹ and wine.³¹⁹⁶
11:12 And in every several city⁵⁸⁹² he put shields⁶⁷⁹³ and spears,⁷⁴²⁰ and made them exceeding^72353966 strong,²³⁸⁸ having Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin¹¹⁴⁴ on his side.
11:13^C And the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that were in all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ resorted³³²⁰ to him out of all their coasts.¹³⁶⁶
11:14 For the Levites³⁸⁸¹ left⁵⁸⁰⁰ their suburbs⁴⁰⁵⁴ and their possession,²⁷² and came³²¹² to Judah³⁰⁶³ and Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and his sons¹¹²¹ had cast them off²¹⁸⁶ from executing the priest's office³⁵⁴⁷ unto the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸
11:15 And he ordained⁵⁹⁷⁵ him priests³⁵⁴⁸ for the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and for the devils,⁸¹⁶³ and for the calves⁵⁶⁹⁵ which he had made.⁶²¹³
11:16^C And after³¹⁰ them out of all the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ such as set⁵⁴¹⁴ their hearts³⁸²⁴ to seek¹²⁴⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹
11:17 So they strengthened²³⁸⁸ the kingdom⁴⁴³⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and made Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ strong,⁵⁵³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years:⁸¹⁴¹ for three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ they walked¹⁹⁸⁰ in the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of David¹⁷³² and Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰
11:18 And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ took³⁹⁴⁷ him Mahalath⁴²⁵⁸ the daughter^13231121 of Jerimoth³⁴⁰⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² to wife,⁸⁰² and Abihail³² the daughter¹³²³ of Eliab⁴⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse;³⁴⁴⁸
11:19 Which bare³²⁰⁵ him children;¹¹²¹ Jeush,³²⁶⁶ and Shamariah,⁸¹¹⁴ and Zaham.²⁰⁹³
11:20 And after³¹⁰ her he took³⁹⁴⁷ Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Absalom;⁵³ which bare³²⁰⁵ him Abijah,²⁹ and Attai,⁶²⁶² and Ziza,²¹²⁴ and Shelomith.⁸⁰¹⁹
11:21 And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ loved¹⁵⁷ Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the daughter¹³²³ of Absalom⁵³ above all his wives⁸⁰² and his concubines:⁶³⁷⁰ (for he took⁵³⁷⁵ eighteen^80836240 wives,⁸⁰² and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ concubines;⁶³⁷⁰ and begat³²⁰⁵ twenty⁶²⁴² and eight⁸⁰⁸³ sons,¹¹²¹ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ daughters.)¹³²³
11:22 And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made⁵⁹⁷⁵ Abijah²⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Maachah⁴⁶⁰¹ the chief,⁷²¹⁸ to be ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ among his brethren:²⁵¹ for he thought to make him king.⁴⁴²⁷
11:23 And he dealt wisely,⁹⁹⁵ and dispersed⁶⁵⁵⁵ of all his children¹¹²¹ throughout all the countries⁷⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ and Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ unto every fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ city:⁵⁸⁹² and he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ them victual⁴²⁰² in abundance.⁷²³⁰ And he desired⁷⁵⁹² many¹⁹⁹⁵ wives.⁸⁰²

[2 Chronicles 12]
12:1^C And it came to pass, when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ had established³⁵⁵⁹ the kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and had strengthened²³⁹³ himself, he forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with him.
12:2^C And it came to pass, that in the fifth²⁵⁴⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ Shishak⁷⁸⁹⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ because they had transgressed⁴⁶⁰³ against the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸
12:3 With twelve hundred^3967505 chariots,⁷³⁹³ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen:⁶⁵⁷¹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were without number⁴⁵⁵⁷ that came⁹³⁵ with him out of Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴ the Lubims,³⁸⁶⁴ the Sukkiims,⁵⁵²⁵ and the Ethiopians.³⁵⁶⁹
12:4 And he took³⁹²⁰ the fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² which pertained to Judah,³⁰⁶³ and came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
12:5^C Then came⁹³⁵ Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ to Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ and to the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ that were gathered together⁶²² to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Shishak,⁷⁸⁹⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Ye have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ me, and therefore have I also⁶³⁷ left⁵⁸⁰⁰ you in the hand³⁰²⁷ of Shishak.⁷⁸⁹⁵
12:6 Whereupon the princes⁸²⁶⁹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ humbled³⁶⁶⁵ themselves; and they said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is righteous.⁶⁶⁶²
12:7 And when the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that they humbled³⁶⁶⁵ themselves, the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came to Shemaiah,⁸⁰⁹⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ They have humbled³⁶⁶⁵ themselves; therefore I will not destroy⁷⁸⁴³ them, but I will grant⁵⁴¹⁴ them some⁴⁵⁹² deliverance;⁶⁴¹³ and my wrath²⁵³⁴ shall not be poured out⁵⁴¹³ upon Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ by the hand³⁰²⁷ of Shishak.⁷⁸⁹⁵
12:8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants;⁵⁶⁵⁰ that they may know³⁰⁴⁵ my service,⁵⁶⁵⁶ and the service⁵⁶⁵⁶ of the kingdoms⁴⁴⁶⁷ of the countries.⁷⁷⁶
12:9^C So Shishak⁷⁸⁹⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and took away³⁹⁴⁷ the treasures²¹⁴ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the treasures²¹⁴ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house;¹⁰⁰⁴ he took³⁹⁴⁷ all: he carried away³⁹⁴⁷ also the shields⁴⁰⁴³ of gold²⁰⁹¹ which Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had made.⁶²¹³
12:10 Instead of which king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ made⁶²¹³ shields⁴⁰⁴³ of brass,⁵¹⁷⁸ and committed⁶⁴⁸⁵ them to the hands³⁰²⁷ of the chief⁸²⁶⁹ of the guard,⁷³²³ that kept⁸¹⁰⁴ the entrance⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house.¹⁰⁰⁴
12:11 And when¹⁷⁶⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ entered⁹³⁵ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the guard⁷³²³ came⁹³⁵ and fetched⁵³⁷⁵ them, and brought them again⁷⁷²⁵ into the guard⁷³²³ chamber.⁸³⁷²
12:12 And when he humbled³⁶⁶⁵ himself, the wrath⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ turned⁷⁷²⁵ from him, that he would not destroy⁷⁸⁴³ him altogether:³⁶¹⁷ and also in Judah³⁰⁶³ things¹⁶⁹⁷ went well.²⁸⁹⁶
12:13^C So king⁴⁴²⁸ Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ strengthened²³⁸⁸ himself in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and reigned:⁴⁴²⁷ for Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was one²⁵⁹ and forty⁷⁰⁵ years⁸¹⁴¹ old¹¹²¹ when he began to reign,⁴⁴²⁷ and he reigned⁴⁴²⁷ seventeen^76516240 years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ the city⁵⁸⁹² which the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had chosen⁹⁷⁷ out of all the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to put⁷⁷⁶⁰ his name⁸⁰³⁴ there. And his mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ was Naamah⁵²⁷⁹ an Ammonitess.⁵⁹⁸⁵
12:14 And he did⁶²¹³ evil,⁷⁴⁵¹ because he prepared³⁵⁵⁹ not his heart³⁸²⁰ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸
12:15 Now the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Rehoboam,⁷³⁴⁶ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ are they not written³⁷⁸⁹ in the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Shemaiah⁸⁰⁹⁸ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and of Iddo⁵⁷¹⁴ the seer²³⁷⁴ concerning genealogies?³¹⁸⁷ And there were wars⁴⁴²¹ between Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ and Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ continually.³¹¹⁷
12:16^C And Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with his fathers,¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² and Abijah²⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.

[2 Chronicles 13]
13:1 Now in the eighteenth^80836240 year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ began Abijah²⁹ to reign⁴⁴²⁷ over Judah.³⁰⁶³
13:2^C He reigned⁴⁴²⁷ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹ His mother's⁵¹⁷ name⁸⁰³⁴ also was Michaiah⁴³²² the daughter¹³²³ of Uriel²²² of Gibeah.¹³⁹⁰ And there was war⁴⁴²¹ between Abijah²⁹ and Jeroboam.³³⁷⁹
13:3 And Abijah²⁹ set⁶³¹ ➔ the battle⁴⁴²¹ in array⁶³¹ with an army²⁴²⁸ of valiant men¹³⁶⁸ of war,⁴⁴²¹ even four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men:³⁷⁶ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ also set the battle⁴⁴²¹ in array⁶¹⁸⁶ against him with eight⁸⁰⁸³ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men,³⁷⁶ being mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valour.²⁴²⁸
13:4 And Abijah²⁹ stood up⁶⁹⁶⁵ upon mount²⁰²² Zemaraim,⁶⁷⁸⁷ which is in mount²⁰²² Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me, thou Jeroboam,³³⁷⁹ and all Israel;³⁴⁷⁸
13:5^C Ought ye not to know³⁰⁴⁵ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ over Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to David¹⁷³² for ever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ even to him and to his sons¹¹²¹ by a covenant¹²⁸⁵ of salt?⁴⁴¹⁷
13:6 Yet Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ the servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David,¹⁷³² is risen up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and hath rebelled⁴⁷⁷⁵ against his lord.¹¹³
13:7 And there are gathered⁶⁹⁰⁸ unto him vain⁷³⁸⁶ men,⁵⁸² the children¹¹²¹ of Belial,¹¹⁰⁰ and have strengthened⁵⁵³ themselves against Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ when Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ was young⁵²⁸⁸ and tenderhearted,^73903824 and could not withstand²³⁸⁸ them.⁶⁴⁴⁰
13:8^C And now ye think⁵⁵⁹ to withstand²³⁸⁸ the kingdom^64404467 of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ in the hand³⁰²⁷ of the sons¹¹²¹ of David;¹⁷³² and ye be a great⁷²²⁷ multitude,¹⁹⁹⁵ and there are with you golden²⁰⁹¹ calves,⁵⁶⁹⁵ which Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ made⁶²¹³ you for gods.⁴³⁰
13:9 Have ye not cast out⁵⁰⁸⁰ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and have made⁶²¹³ you priests³⁵⁴⁸ after the manner of the nations⁵⁹⁷¹ of other lands?⁷⁷⁶ so that whosoever cometh⁹³⁵ to consecrate^43903027 himself with a young^11211241 bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ rams,³⁵² the same may be a priest³⁵⁴⁸ of them that are no³⁸⁰⁸ gods.⁴³⁰
13:10 But as for us, the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is our God,⁴³⁰ and we have not forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him; and the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ which minister⁸³³⁴ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ are the sons¹¹²¹ of Aaron,¹⁷⁵ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ wait upon their business:⁴³⁹⁹
13:11 And they burn⁶⁹⁹⁹ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ every morning¹²⁴² and every evening⁶¹⁵³ burnt sacrifices⁵⁹³⁰ and sweet⁵⁵⁶¹ incense:⁷⁰⁰⁴ the shewbread^38994635 also set they in order upon the pure²⁸⁸⁹ table;⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the candlestick⁴⁵⁰¹ of gold²⁰⁹¹ with the lamps⁵²¹⁶ thereof, to burn¹¹⁹⁷ every evening:⁶¹⁵³ for we keep⁸¹⁰⁴ the charge⁴⁹³¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ but ye have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ him.
13:12 And, behold, God⁴³⁰ himself is with us for our captain,⁷²¹⁸ and his priests³⁵⁴⁸ with sounding⁸⁶⁴³ trumpets²⁶⁸⁹ to cry alarm⁷³²¹ against you. O children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ fight³⁸⁹⁸ ye not against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of your fathers;¹ for ye shall not prosper.⁶⁷⁴³
13:13 But Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ caused an ambushment³⁹⁹³ to come⁹³⁵ about⁵⁴³⁷ behind³¹⁰ them: so they were before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the ambushment³⁹⁹³ was behind³¹⁰ them.
13:14 And when Judah³⁰⁶³ looked back,⁶⁴³⁷ behold, the battle⁴⁴²¹ was before⁶⁴⁴⁰ and behind:²⁶⁸ and they cried⁶⁸¹⁷ unto the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sounded^26902690 with the trumpets.²⁶⁸⁹
13:15 Then the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ gave a shout:⁷³²¹ and as the men³⁷⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ shouted,⁷³²¹ it came to pass, that God⁴³⁰ smote⁵⁰⁶² Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ and all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Abijah²⁹ and Judah.³⁰⁶³
13:16 And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ fled⁵¹²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah:³⁰⁶³ and God⁴³⁰ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into their hand.³⁰²⁷
13:17 And Abijah²⁹ and his people⁵⁹⁷¹ slew⁵²²¹ them with a great⁷²²⁷ slaughter:⁴³⁴⁷ so there fell down⁵³⁰⁷ slain²⁴⁹¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ five²⁵⁶⁸ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chosen⁹⁷⁷ men.³⁷⁶
13:18 Thus the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ were brought³⁶⁶⁵ under at that time,⁶²⁵⁶ and the children¹¹²¹ of Judah³⁰⁶³ prevailed,⁵⁵³ because they relied⁸¹⁷² upon the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹
13:19 And Abijah²⁹ pursued⁷²⁹¹ after³¹⁰ Jeroboam,³³⁷⁹ and took³⁹²⁰ cities⁵⁸⁹² from him, Bethel¹⁰⁰⁸ with the towns¹³²³ thereof, and Jeshanah³⁴⁶⁶ with the towns¹³²³ thereof, and Ephrain⁶⁰⁸⁵ with the towns¹³²³ thereof.
13:20 Neither did Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ recover⁶¹¹³ strength³⁵⁸¹ again in the days³¹¹⁷ of Abijah:²⁹ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ struck⁵⁰⁶² him, and he died.⁴¹⁹¹
13:21 But Abijah²⁹ waxed mighty,²³⁸⁸ and married⁵³⁷⁵ fourteen^7026240 wives,⁸⁰² and begat³²⁰⁵ twenty⁶²⁴² and two⁸¹⁴⁷ sons,¹¹²¹ and sixteen^83376240 daughters.¹³²³
13:22 And the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Abijah,²⁹ and his ways,¹⁸⁷⁰ and his sayings,¹⁶⁹⁷ are written³⁷⁸⁹ in the story⁴⁰⁹⁷ of the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ Iddo.⁵⁷¹⁴

[2 Chronicles 14]
14:1 So Abijah²⁹ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with his fathers,¹ and they buried⁶⁹¹² him in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David:¹⁷³² and Asa⁶⁰⁹ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead. In his days³¹¹⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ was quiet⁸²⁵² ten⁶²³⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹
14:2^C And Asa⁶⁰⁹ did⁶²¹³ that which was good²⁸⁹⁶ and right³⁴⁷⁷ in the eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God:⁴³⁰
14:3^C For he took away⁵⁴⁹³ the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ of the strange⁵²³⁶ gods, and the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and brake down⁷⁶⁶⁵ the images,⁴⁶⁷⁶ and cut down¹⁴³⁸ the groves:⁸⁴²
14:4^C And commanded⁵⁵⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ and to do⁶²¹³ the law⁸⁴⁵¹ and the commandment.⁴⁶⁸⁷
14:5^C Also he took away⁵⁴⁹³ out of all the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah³⁰⁶³ the high places¹¹¹⁶ and the images:²⁵⁵³ and the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ was quiet⁸²⁵² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him.
14:6^C And he built¹¹²⁹ fenced⁴⁶⁹⁴ cities⁵⁸⁹² in Judah:³⁰⁶³ for the land⁷⁷⁶ had rest,⁸²⁵² and he had no war⁴⁴²¹ in those years;⁸¹⁴¹ because the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ had given him rest.⁵¹¹⁷
14:7^C Therefore he said⁵⁵⁹ unto Judah,³⁰⁶³ Let us build¹¹²⁹ these cities,⁵⁸⁹² and make about⁵⁴³⁷ them walls,²³⁴⁶ and towers,⁴⁰²⁶ gates,¹⁸¹⁷ and bars,¹²⁸⁰ while the land⁷⁷⁶ is yet before⁶⁴⁴⁰ us; because we have sought¹⁸⁷⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God,⁴³⁰ we have sought¹⁸⁷⁵ him, and he hath given us rest⁵¹¹⁷ on every side.⁵⁴³⁹ So they built¹¹²⁹ and prospered.⁶⁷⁴³
14:8^C And Asa⁶⁰⁹ had an army²⁴²⁸ of men that bare⁵³⁷⁵ targets⁶⁷⁹³ and spears,⁷⁴²⁰ out of Judah³⁰⁶³ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand;⁵⁰⁵ and out of Benjamin,¹¹⁴⁴ that bare⁵³⁷⁵ shields⁴⁰⁴³ and drew¹⁸⁶⁹ bows,⁷¹⁹⁸ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ thousand:⁵⁰⁵ all these were mighty men¹³⁶⁸ of valour.²⁴²⁸
14:9^C And there came out³³¹⁸ against them Zerah²²²⁶ the Ethiopian³⁵⁶⁹ with an host²⁴²⁸ of a thousand⁵⁰⁵ thousand,⁵⁰⁵ and three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots;⁴⁸¹⁸ and came⁹³⁵ unto Mareshah.⁴⁷⁶²
14:10 Then Asa⁶⁰⁹ went out³³¹⁸ against⁶⁴⁴⁰ him, and they set the battle⁴⁴²¹ in array⁶¹⁸⁶ in the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of Zephathah⁶⁸⁵⁹ at Mareshah.⁴⁷⁶²
14:11^C And Asa⁶⁰⁹ cried⁷¹²¹ unto the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God,⁴³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ it is nothing with thee to help,⁵⁸²⁶ whether⁹⁹⁶ with many,⁷²²⁷ or with them that have no power:³⁵⁸¹ help⁵⁸²⁶ us, O LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God;⁴³⁰ for we rest⁸¹⁷² on thee, and in thy name⁸⁰³⁴ we go⁹³⁵ against this multitude.¹⁹⁹⁵ O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ thou art our God;⁴³⁰ let not man⁵⁸² prevail⁶¹¹³ against thee.
14:12^C So the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ smote⁵⁰⁶² the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Asa,⁶⁰⁹ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Judah;³⁰⁶³ and the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ fled.⁵¹²⁷
14:13 And Asa⁶⁰⁹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were with him pursued⁷²⁹¹ them unto Gerar:¹⁶⁴² and the Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ were overthrown,⁵³⁰⁷ that they could not recover⁴²⁴¹ themselves; for they were destroyed⁷⁶⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and before⁶⁴⁴⁰ his host;⁴²⁶⁴ and they carried away⁵³⁷⁵ very³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²³⁵ spoil.⁷⁹⁹⁸
14:14 And they smote⁵²²¹ all the cities⁵⁸⁹² round about⁵⁴³⁹ Gerar;¹⁶⁴² for the fear⁶³⁴³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came upon them: and they spoiled⁹⁶² all the cities;⁵⁸⁹² for there was exceeding much⁷²²⁷ spoil⁹⁶¹ in them.
14:15 They smote⁵²²¹ also the tents¹⁶⁸ of cattle,⁴⁷³⁵ and carried away⁷⁶¹⁷ sheep⁶⁶²⁹ and camels¹⁵⁸¹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹
