2 Chronicles 8: So the house was completed

Read 2 Chronicles 8:1-18 before you meet.

In a few lines

"So the LORD’s house was completed" (8:16) uses the word 2 Chronicles also uses for a heart "perfect toward him" (16:9). And Solomon built "storage cities" (8:4), as Israel once built "storage cities for Pharaoh" (Exodus 1:11), but "of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work" (8:9).

The verse to carry

“Now all the work of Solomon was accomplished from the day of the foundation of the LORD’s house until it was finished. So the LORD’s house was completed.”

2 Chronicles 8:16

To talk about

  1. 1. "So the LORD’s house was completed" (8:16), at the end of twenty years of building (8:1). What long work, for God or for people you love, are you in the middle of, and what helps you keep going to the end?

  2. 2. Solomon said the places where the LORD's ark had come are holy (8:11). Where or when have you sensed God has been with you, and how does that change the way you treat that place or time?

  3. 3. Solomon kept offerings "as the duty of every day required" and at feasts "three times per year" (8:13). What daily and yearly rhythms help you keep God at the center, and which would you like to start?
