2 Chronicles 6:40–7:3

40 Now, O my God, mlet your eyes be open nand your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

41  “And now arise, O Lord God, and go to your oresting place,

you and the ark of your might.

Let your priests, O Lord God, be pclothed with salvation,

and let your saints qrejoice in your goodness.

42  O Lord God, rdo not turn away the face of your anointed one!

sRemember your steadfast love for David your servant.”

Fire from Heaven

7 tAs soon as Solomon finished his prayer, ufire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, vand the glory of the Lord filled the temple. 2 And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord filled the Lord’s house. 3 When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying, “For he is good, wfor his steadfast love endures forever.”
