Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:13] For Solomon had made a bronze base and put it in the middle of the temple court, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high. He stood on it, fell on his knees opposite all Israel’s assembly, and spread out his hands toward heaven.
Classification & Notes
Different
Text: Hebrew uses the word otherwise rendered basin for the structure supporting Solomon; platform expresses its function here. Greek explicitly calls it a base in the temple court. All three dimensions and the kneeling posture agree.
Verse 6:14 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)

Verse 6:15 Different

Verse 6:18 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:18] But will God truly dwell with humanity on earth? Look, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You—how much less this house that I have built!
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:18] But will God truly dwell with human beings on earth? If heaven and the heaven of heaven will not suffice for You, what is this house that I have built?
Classification & Notes
Different
Text: Hebrew says cannot contain and argues how much less; Greek says will not suffice and asks what this house is. Both deny that the building measures God’s greatness. Rabbinic: The commentary presented as Rashi interprets this as astonishment at God’s accommodation of His presence and explains that the house serves prayer [R1]. Saints: Augustine, Confessions I.2–3, asks how God can dwell within a person while heaven and earth cannot contain Him, and argues that God sustains what He fills. This is thematic reception of divine transcendence and indwelling, not an explicit commentary on Chronicles [S1].
Verse 6:19 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:19] Yet turn toward Your servant’s prayer and his supplication, YHWH my God, to hear the cry and prayer that Your servant prays before You.

Verse 6:21 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:21] Hear the supplications of Your servant and Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from Your dwelling place, from heaven; hear and forgive.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:21] Hear the supplication of Your servant and Your people Israel, whatever they pray toward this place. Hear in Your dwelling place, from heaven; hear and be propitious.
Classification & Notes
Different
Text: Hebrew explicitly asks forgiveness; Greek asks that God be propitious. Greek combines in Your dwelling place with from heaven, while Hebrew uses from in both phrases.
Petitions for judgment and restoration
Verse 6:22 Different

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:23] then hear from heaven, act, and judge Your servants, repaying the lawless and returning his ways upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.
Classification & Notes
Similar
Text: The requests for retributive judgment and vindication agree; Greek describes the offender as lawless.
Verse 6:24 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:24] If Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they sin against You, and they return, confess Your name, and pray and seek favor before You in this house,
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:24] If Your people Israel are crushed before the enemy, if they sin against You, and they return, confess Your name, and pray and supplicate before You in this house,

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:26] When heaven is shut and there is no rain because they will sin against You, and they pray toward this place, praise Your name, and turn from their sins because You humble them,
Classification & Notes
Different
Text: Greek uses praise and humble where Hebrew uses confess or acknowledge and afflict. Both connect drought with repentance under divine discipline.
Verse 6:27 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:27] then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel, teaching them the good way in which they should walk. Give rain upon Your land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:27] then hear from heaven and be propitious toward the sins of Your servants and Your people Israel, for You will make known to them the good way in which they should walk. Give rain upon Your land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
Classification & Notes
Different
Text: Hebrew’s teaching corresponds to Greek making known. The recurring forgive and be propitious distinction remains; both request rain on the inherited land.
Verse 6:28 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:28] If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, blight, mildew, locust, or devouring locust; if enemies besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague or sickness there may be,
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:28] If there is famine upon the land, if there is death, damage from wind or yellowing, locust or consuming locust; if the enemy oppresses them before their cities; in every plague and every suffering,

Verse 6:30 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:30] then hear from heaven, Your established dwelling place, and forgive. Give to each person according to all his ways, whose heart You know, for You alone know the heart of humanity’s sons,
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:30] then hear from heaven, from Your prepared dwelling place, and be propitious. Give to a man according to his ways, as You know his heart, for You alone know the heart of human beings,

Different
Text: Greek explicitly says every foreigner, describes an uplifted rather than outstretched arm, and says this place rather than this house. Both shift from a singular foreigner to plural they.
Verse 6:33 Similar
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:33] then hear from heaven, from Your established dwelling place, and do everything for which the foreigner calls to You, so that all earth’s peoples may know Your name and fear You as Your people Israel do, and know that Your name is called over this house that I have built.
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:33] then hear from heaven, from Your prepared dwelling place, and do everything for which the foreigner invokes You, so that all earth’s peoples may know Your name and fear You as Your people Israel do, and know that Your name has been invoked over this house that I have built.

Verse 6:42 Different
Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)
[BHS 6:42] YHWH God, do not turn away the face of Your anointed ones. Remember the steadfast deeds of David Your servant.”
Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)
[LXX 6:42] Lord God, do not turn away the face of Your anointed one. Remember the mercies of David Your servant.”
Classification & Notes
Different
Text: The displayed BHS running form has the additional yod of a plural Your anointed ones; Greek is singular. The Hebrew text displayed with the commentary in R1 instead has the singular form, but no critical apparatus has been collated to adjudicate this display difference. The final genitive may concern David’s faithful deeds or mercies associated with him; the translation does not silently decide the direction of that relationship.
