2 Chronicles 6
1. Solomon, having blessed the people, blessed God
12. Solomon's prayer in the consecration of the temple, upon the bronze platform.














(39) Their supplications.--Kings, sing.; and so some MSS., LXX., Syriac, and Arabic. The plural is found nowhere else, and is probably incorrect here.

And forgive thy people.--This is the first clause of 1Kings 8:50; and from this point to the end of Solomon's Prayer, the two texts are wholly dissimilar.
