🌙 2 Chronicles 3

2 Chronicles 3 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Then Solomon began to build Yahweh’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold.” 2 Chronicles 3 opens with these words: “Then Solomon began to build Yahweh’s house at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh appeared to David his father, which he prepared in…” The line to keep is 2 Chronicles 3:3: “Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width…” Carry the word “foundation” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 2 Chronicles 3:3: “Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 2 Chronicles 3? Then try this: Read “Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God’s house. The length by cubits after…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
