2 Chronicles 7:4-14
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before the Lord. 5King Solomon offered as a sacrifice 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 6The priests stood at their posts; the Levites also, with the instruments for music to the Lord that King David had made for giving thanks to the Lord — for his steadfast love endures forever — whenever David offered praises by their ministry; opposite them the priests sounded trumpets, and all Israel stood.
8At that time Solomon held the feast for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt.
9And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for they had kept the dedication of the altar seven days and the feast seven days.
10On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the prosperity that the Lord had granted to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.
11Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord and the king 's house. All that Solomon had planned to do in the house of the Lord and in his own house he successfully accomplished.
12Then the Lord appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him: "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
13When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people,
14if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
