"And Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice." — 2 Chronicles 7:12 (ASV)

Ver. 12-22. And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night

From here, to the end of the chapter, much the same things are related as in (1 Kings 9:2–9) , (See Gill on 1 Kings 9:2), (See Gill on 1 Kings 9:3), (See Gill on 1 Kings 9:4), (See Gill on 9:5), (See Gill on 1 Kings 9:6), (See Gill on 1 Kings 9:7), (See Gill on 1 Kings 9:8), (See Gill on 1 Kings 9:9), excepting (2 Chronicles 7:13–15) which contain an answer to the particular requests made by Solomon in case of a famine or pestilence, that when the people of Israel should humble themselves in prayer and supplication, the Lord would be attentive to them, and forgive them, (2 Chronicles 6:26–30) and which is given as a specimen, and as encouragement to expect the same treatment in all other cases mentioned in Solomon's prayer, they so behaving.
