[ To whomever it concerns: I would like to point out that I am in no way, shape or form a Preacher. I am not formally educated in the Holy Bible. Yes, I have read and studied it since I was very young, but I do not consider that an 'education' like that of a registered Preacher.

I am NOT able to share everything about every verse/chapter. In fact, there are MUCH deeper studies that I don't share. 1. Because there isn't enough room to write and 2. Alot of the studies can branch into even deeper studies with even more information. What I am able to share, is only a tiny, tiny seed of information.

Where do I get my Bible Info? I listen to online Bible studies: Pastor Arnold and Dennis Murray as well as read a Study-Bible daily.

I am still learning and will always study the Bible. But that is a personal habit.

Please, going forward, understand that (not just for myself, but with all preachers/teachers) people are not perfect, and mistakes are made.

Nothing about me, just an 'every-other-day-or-so' updated Bible Study for anyone interested.

*** I use an old KJV (study) bible for all these studies. When you see added notes/details under verses, they are either things learned in Bible Studies by the Pastors I listen to or (more often) notes from my personal KJV (study type) Bible.

Due to a busier schedule, I will not be able to upload as frequently as before. God bless and Happy Gaming ;-)

I have noticed that in several Bibles (new and old) that they use italic when a word that was not in the original script/writing is used. Seeing as this info, should be used, going forward I will be adding the italic as it appears in my Bible.

(1 Samuel and 2 Samuel are considered 1 Kings and 2 Kings. While 1 Kings and 2 Kings are considered 3 Kings and 4 Kings respectively.)

[1] Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the *chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

-2 Samuel 6:17, “And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.”.

-2 Samuel 5:7, “Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.”
& 6:12 and 16, “[12]And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.[16] And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.”.

[2] And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

-Leviticus 23:34, “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.”
2 Chronicles 7:8, “Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.”.

-Numbers 4:15, “And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.”.

[4] And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

-2 Chronicles 1:3, “So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.”.

[5] And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

-2 Samuel 6:13, “And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.”.

[6] And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

-2 Samuel 6:17, “And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.”.

-Exodus 26:33 and 34, “[33] And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy. [34] And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.”
1 Kings 6:19, “And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.”.

-1 Kings 6:27, “And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.”.

[7] For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

[8] And they drew out the staves, that the (1)ends of the staves were seen out in the (2)holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

-Exodus 25:14, “And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.”.

-(2) (Or), ark: [As 2 Chronicles 5:9, “And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.”.]

[9] There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when* the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

-Exodus 25:21, “And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.”
Deuteronomy 10:2, “And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brackets, and thou shalt put them in the ark.”.

-Deuteronomy 10:5, “And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.”
Hebrew 9:4, “Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;”.

-Exodus 40:20, “And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:”.

-Exodus 34:27 and 28, “[27] And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. [28] And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.”.

[10] And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

-Exodus 40:34, “Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.”.

[11] So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

[12] Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

[13] I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

[14] And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)

[15] And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

[16] Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

-1 Samuel 16:1, “”
2 Samuel 7:8, “”
1 Chronicles 28:4, “”.

[17] And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

[18] And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.

[19] Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

[20] And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

[21] And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

[22] And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:

[23] And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:

[24] Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.

[25] Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There(1) shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; (2)so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

-(1), (Hebrew) There shall not be cut off unto thee a man from my sight.

[26] And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
-2 Samuel 7:25.

[27] But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

[28] Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:

[29] That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward* this place.

[30] And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray *toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.

[31] If any man trespass against his neighbour, *and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

-* (Hebrew), and he require an oath of him, [Leviticus 5:1.]

[32] Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

[33] When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee *in this house:

[34] Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

[35] When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:

[36] Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

[37] If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their *cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;

-Leviticus 26:16, 25 and 26.
Deuteronomy 28:21, 22, 27, 38, 42 and 52.
2 Chronicles 20:9.

[38] What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

[39] Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

[40] That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

[41] Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;

[42] (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

[43] Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that *this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

[44] If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD* toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:

[45] Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their *cause.

[46] If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

-2 Chronicles 6:36.
Proverbs 20:9.
Ecclesiastes 7:20.
James 3:2.
1 John 1:8 and 10.

[47] Yet if they shall *bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

[48] And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

[49] Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their *cause,

[50] And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

[51] For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

[52] That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

[53] For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

[54] And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

[55] And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

[56] Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not *failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

[57] The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

[58] That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.

[59] And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel *at all times, as the matter shall require:

[60] That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.

[61] Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

[62] And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.

[63] And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

[64] The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

[65] And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

[66] On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they *blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
