Introduction
Solomon having ended his prayer, the fire of the Lord comes down from heaven and consumes the offerings, 2 Chronicles 7:1 . The people and the priests see this, and glorify God, and offer sacrifices, 2 Chronicles 7:2-4 . Solomon offers twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep; and the priests and Levites attend in their offices, 2 Chronicles 7:5 , 2 Chronicles 7:6 . He keeps the feast seven days, and the dedication of the altar seven days, and dismisses the people, 2 Chronicles 7:7-11 . The Lord appears unto him by night, and assures him that he has heard his prayer, 2 Chronicles 7:12-16 ; promises him and his posterity a perpetual government, if they be obedient, 2 Chronicles 7:17 , 2 Chronicles 7:18 ; but utter destruction should they disobey, and become idolaters, 2 Chronicles 7:19-22 .
