2 Chronicles 6
1.Solomon, having blessed the people, blessed God
12.Solomon's prayer in the consecration of the temple, upon the bronze platform.














When Your people go to war against their enemies
This phrase reflects the reality of ancient Israel's frequent military engagements. The Israelites often found themselves in conflict with surrounding nations, as seen throughout the historical books of the Old Testament. Warfare was a common aspect of life, and the Israelites believed that their success in battle depended on their faithfulness to God. This is consistent with the covenantal promises found inDeuteronomy 28, where obedience to God would result in blessings, including victory over enemies.

wherever You send them
This acknowledges God's sovereignty and guidance in the affairs of Israel. The Israelites believed that God directed their steps, including military campaigns. This is reminiscent of the divine guidance seen in the conquest of Canaan under Joshua, where God instructed and led the Israelites to victory. It underscores the belief that God is actively involved in the lives of His people, directing them according to His purposes.

and when they pray to You
Prayer is a central theme in the relationship between God and His people. It is an act of dependence and faith, seeking divine intervention and favor. The importance of prayer is emphasized throughout Scripture, such as in1 Thessalonians 5:17, which encourages believers to "pray without ceasing." In the context of warfare, prayer was seen as a crucial element for success, acknowledging that victory ultimately comes from God.

in the direction of this city You have chosen
The city referred to here is Jerusalem, which holds significant theological and historical importance. Jerusalem was chosen by God as the central place of worship and the location of the Temple. This choice is rooted in passages like2 Samuel 7, where God establishes Jerusalem as the city of David and the future site of the Temple. Praying towards Jerusalem symbolizes unity and focus on God's chosen place for His presence.

and the house I have built for Your Name
This refers to Solomon's Temple, a central place of worship for the Israelites. The Temple was not just a physical structure but a symbol of God's presence among His people. It was built to honor God's name and serve as a place where His glory dwelled. The Temple's significance is seen in its detailed construction described in1 Kings 6-7 and its role in Israel's religious life. It also foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ, who referred to His body as the temple (John 2:19-21), indicating that He is the ultimate dwelling place of God's presence.

Persons / Places / Events
1.Solomon
The king of Israel who built the temple in Jerusalem and is offering this prayer of dedication.

2.The Israelites

3.Jerusalem
The city chosen by God, where the temple is located, serving as a focal point for prayer.

Teaching Points
The Centrality of God's Chosen Place
The temple in Jerusalem was a physical representation of God's presence. Today, believers are reminded that God dwells within us through the Holy Spirit, making our bodies His temple (1 Corinthians 6:19).

Prayer as a Weapon in Spiritual Warfare
Just as the Israelites were to pray toward the temple when going to war, Christians are called to engage in spiritual warfare through prayer, seeking God's guidance and strength (Ephesians 6:18).

God's Sovereignty in Battles
The verse underscores that God sends His people into battles. Believers can trust in God's sovereignty and His purposes, knowing that He is in control of every situation (Romans 8:28).

The Importance of Obedience
The Israelites were to go to war "wherever You send them," highlighting the importance of obedience to God's commands. Christians are called to follow God's leading in their lives, trusting His plans (Proverbs 3:5-6).

What Does 2 Chronicles 6:34 Mean
When Your people go to war

“When Your people go to war…” (2 Chronicles 6:34) pictures Israel heading into literal battles under the banner of the LORD.

• “Your people” reminds us of the covenant ownership seen inExodus 19:5–6 and reiterated inDeuteronomy 7:6-8.

• War was never random; the LORD Himself commanded and directed it (Deuteronomy 20:1-4;1 Samuel 17:45-47).

• David exalted, “Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who trains my hands for battle” (Psalm 144:1), underscoring that victory flows from God, not mere human strategy.

against their enemies

Solomon acknowledges real, flesh-and-blood foes—Ammon, Moab, Philistia, and others (Judges 3;2 Chronicles 20:1).

• Yet Israel’s history shows that hostility toward God’s people is ultimately hostility toward God Himself (Psalm 83:1-5).

• The New Testament broadens the picture: while earthly enemies remain, a deeper conflict rages “against the powers of this dark world” (Ephesians 6:12).

wherever You send them

“Wherever You send them” reveals God’s sovereign right to deploy His people.

• Joshua was told, “Do not be afraid; … the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

• Israel camped and marched at God’s command (Numbers 9:17-23).

• The same sending God now commissions believers: “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21).

and when they pray to You

Prayer is the hinge between human effort and divine power.

• Solomon links victory to intercession, not to superior swords (2 Chronicles 20:5-12).

• “You who hear prayer, to You all men will come” (Psalm 65:2).

• Persistent, believing prayer remains central for God’s people today (1 Thessalonians 5:17;James 5:16).

in the direction of this city You have chosen

The chosen city is Jerusalem (1 Kings 11:36). Facing it during prayer acknowledged God’s covenant center.

•Psalm 48:1-2 calls Zion “the joy of all the earth.”

•Isaiah 62:6-7 portrays watchmen crying out for Jerusalem’s vindication, signaling the city’s ongoing prophetic significance.

and the house I have built for Your Name

The temple represented God’s manifest presence (2 Chronicles 5:13-14).

• Fire fell at its dedication, confirming divine approval (2 Chronicles 7:1-3).

• Jesus later pointed to Himself as the greater temple (John 2:19-21), and Paul affirms that believers are now God’s dwelling (1 Corinthians 3:16).

• Still, Solomon’s request shows that fixed, tangible reminders of God’s nearness anchor faith in concrete history.

summary

Solomon prays that whenever Israel marches into battle, they remember who sends them, where their help lies, and to Whom they belong. Turning toward God’s chosen city and temple was an act of dependence, declaring that victory comes from the LORD alone. Today the principle endures: wherever God places His people, earnest prayer, covenant identity, and trust in His presence secure the triumph He ordains.

(34)Toward this city.--Literally,the way of this city. So in2Chronicles 6:38, "the way of their land."

Verses 34, 35. - The different supposition of these verses, compared with vers. 24, 25, is plain. Here we are reminded how right it is to implore a blessing before we go out to our allotted labour, or even on some specially and divinely appointed enterprise.
