2 Chronicles 2:4-5
"Now I am about to build a temple
for the Name of the LORD my God and
to dedicate it to him for burning
fragrant incense before him, for setting
out the consecrated bread regularly,
and for making burnt offerings every
morning and evening and on the
Sabbaths, at the New Moons and at the
appointed festivals of the LORD our
God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
"The temple I am going to build
will be great, because our God is
greater than all other gods."
2 Chronicles 2:12
And Hiram added:
"Praise be to the LORD, the God of
Israel, who made heaven and earth!
He has given King David a wise son,
endowed with intelligence and
discernment, who will build a temple
for the LORD and a palace for himself."
[see all 2 Chronicles 2]
2 Chronicles 3:3
The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide (using the cubit of the old standard). [about 90 feet long and 30 feet wide, or about 27 meters long and 9 meters wide.]
[see all 2 Chronicles 3 - 4]
2 Chronicles 5:1
When all the work Solomon had done for the temple of the LORD was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated--the silver and gold and all the furnishings--and he placed them in the treasuries of God's temple.
2 Chronicles 5:13-14
The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang:
"He is good;
his love endures forever."
Then the temple of the LORD was filled with the cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the temple of God.
[see all 2 Chronicles 5]
