Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
006:010 Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I am risen up
in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel,
as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name
of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
006:011 There have I set the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh,
which he made with the children of Israel.
006:012 He stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all
the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands
006:013 (for Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, five cubits long,
and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it
in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled
down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel,
and spread forth his hands toward heaven;)
006:014 and he said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you,
in heaven, or on earth; who keep covenant and loving kindness
with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
006:015 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you
did promise him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have
fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
006:016 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant
David my father that which you have promised him, saying,
There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne
of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way,
to walk in my law as you have walked before me.
006:017 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified,
which you spoke to your servant David.
006:018 But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth?
Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you;
how much less this house which I have built!
006:019 Yet have you respect to the prayer of your servant,
and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry
and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
006:020 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night,
even toward the place where you have said that you would put
your name; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall
pray toward this place.
006:021 Listen to the petitions of your servant, and of your
people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place:
yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven;
and when you hear, forgive.
006:022 If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him
to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your
altar in this house;
006:023 then hear from heaven, and do, and judge your servants,
bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his
own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according
to his righteousness.
006:024 If your people Israel be struck down before the enemy,
