👑 2 Chronicles 5

2 Chronicles 5 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of God’s house.” 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, “For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.” 2 Chronicles 5 opens with these words: “Thus all the work that Solomon did for Yahweh’s house was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated,…” The line to keep is 2 Chronicles 5:10: “There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of…” Carry the word “nothing” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 2 Chronicles 5:10: “There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 2 Chronicles 5? Then try this: Read “There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant…” 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.
