DIVRE HAYAMIM BET – SECOND CHRONICLES
upon the pavement, and worshipped, and gave tehilla to
vuvh, saying, For He is tov; for His chesed endures
le-olam-va-ed.
4 Then the melech and all the people offered sacrifices
before vuvh.
5 And melech Shlomo offered a sacrifice of twenty two
thousand oxen, and a hundred twenty thousand sheep:
so the melech and all the people dedicated the Bayit of
Elohim.
6 And the Kohanim waited on their offices: the Lewiym
also with the instruments of music for vuvh, which
Dawid the melech had made to give tehilla to vuvh,
because His chesed endures le-olam-va-ed, when Dawid
gave tehilla also by their hands; and the Kohanim
sounded shofars before them, and kol Yisrael stood.
7 Moreover Shlomo set apart the middle of the court
that was before the Bayit of vuvh: for there he offered
burnt offerings, and the fat of the shalom offerings,
because the bronze altar which Shlomo had made was
not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat
offerings, and the fat.
8 Also at the same time Shlomo kept the moed seven
days, and kol Yisrael with him, a very great
congregation, from the entering in of Hamath to the
river of Mitzrayim. 4267
9 And in the eighth day they made a miqra kodesh: for
they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the
moed seven days.
10 And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he
sent the people away into their tents, with simcha and
happy levim; for the tov that vuvh had showed to
Dawid, and to Shlomo, and to Yisrael His people.
11 So Shlomo finished the Bayit of vuvh, and the
melech’s bayit: and all that entered into Shlomo’s lev to
make in the Bayit of vuvh, and in his own bayit, he
prosperously accomplished.
12 And vuvh appeared to Shlomo by night, and said to
him, I have heard your tefillah, and have chosen this
place to Myself for a Bayit of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up the shamayim that there is no rain, or if I
command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send
pestilence among My people;
14 If My people, who are called by My Name, 4268 shall
humble themselves, and make tefillah, and seek My face,
and teshuvah from their wicked ways; then will I hear
from the shamayim, and will forgive their sin, and will
heal their land.
15 Now My eyes shall be open, and My ears attentive to
the tefillah that is made in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and set-apart this Bayit, that
My Name may be there le-olam-va-ed: and My eyes and
My lev shall be there perpetually.
17 And as for you, if you will have your halacha before
Me, as Dawid your abba had his halacha before Me,
and do according to all that I have commanded you,
and shall observe My chukim and My mishpatim;
18 Then will I establish the kesay of your malchut, as I
have covenanted with Dawid your abba, saying, There
shall not cease from your lineage a man to be ruler in
Yisrael.
19 But if you turn away, and forsake My chukim and My
mishpatim, which I have set before you, and shall go
and serve other elohim, and worship them;
- 567 -
20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of My land
which I have given them; and this Bayit, which I have
set apart for My Name, will I cast out of My sight, and
will make it to be a mishle and a mockery among all
nations.
21 And this Bayit, which is high, shall be an
astonishment to everyone that passes by it; so that they
shall say, Why has vuvh done this to this land, and to
this Bayit?
22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook vuvh
Elohim of their ahvot, who brought them forth out of the
land of Mitzrayim, and laid hold on other elohim, and
worshipped them, and served them: therefore has He
brought all this evil upon them.

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, that
Shlomo had built the Bayit of vuvh, and his own bayit,
2 That the cities that Chiram had restored to Shlomo,
Shlomo built them, and caused the children of Yisrael to
dwell there. 4269
3 And Shlomo went to Hamath-Tzovah, and prevailed
against it.
4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the
storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
5 Also he built Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon
the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
6 And Baalath, and all the storage cities that Shlomo
had, and all the mirkavah cities, and the cities of the
horsemen, and all that Shlomo desired to build in
Yahrushalayim, and in Levanon, 4270 and throughout all
the lands of his rule. 4271
7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and
the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and
the Yevusites, who were not of Yisrael,
8 But of their children, who were left after them in the
land, whom the children of Yisrael did not destroy,
Shlomo made them compulsory labor until this day.
9 But of the children of Yisrael did Shlomo make no
avadim for his work; but they were men of war, and
heads of his captains, and captains of his mirkavot and
horsemen.
10 And these were the rulers of melech Shlomo’s
officers, even two hundred fifty, that ruled over the
people.
11 And Shlomo brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out
of the city of Dawid to the bayit that he had built for
her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the bayit of
Dawid melech of Yisrael, because the place is kadosh,
where the Ark of vuvh has come to rest.
12 Then Shlomo offered burnt offerings to vuvh on the
altar of vuvh, that he had built before the porch,
13 Even according to the daily requirement, offering
according to the mishpatim of Moshe, on the Shabbats,
and on the Rosh Chodashim, and on the shalosh
regalim, three times in the year, even in the moed of
Pesach, and in the moed of Shavuot, and in the moed of
Sukkot.
14 And he appointed, according to the order of Dawid
his abba, the courses of the Kohanim to their service,
and the Lewiym to their charges, to give tehilla and
serve before the Kohanim, as the duty of each day
required: the gatekeepers also by their courses at every
gate: for so had Dawid the man of Elohim commanded.
