Context — The LORD’s Response to Solomon
11When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,
12the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
13If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,
14and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. 15Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.Cross References

2 Chronicles 7:13 Summary
This verse, 2 Chronicles 7:13, reminds us that God is in control of everything, including the natural world, and that He can withhold blessing or bring judgment if we turn away from Him. When God closes the sky, sends locusts, or allows plagues, it's a call to His people to repent and turn back to Him, as seen in (2 Chronicles 7:14) and (Deuteronomy 30:1-10). This verse encourages us to be humble, pray, and seek God's face, especially in times of hardship or struggle, and to trust in His sovereignty and love, as mentioned in (Psalm 103:1-22). By doing so, we can experience God's forgiveness and healing, and live in obedience to His will.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the conditions that lead to God's judgment in 2 Chronicles 7:13?
The conditions mentioned in 2 Chronicles 7:13 that lead to God's judgment are the closing of the sky so there is no rain, the command to locusts to devour the land, or the sending of a plague among His people, which can be seen as a call to repentance, similar to what is described in Deuteronomy 28:1-68 and Leviticus 26:1-46.
Is God's judgment only limited to the Israelites?
No, God's judgment is not limited to the Israelites, as seen in 2 Chronicles 7:13, but it is a call to all His people, including believers today, to turn from their wicked ways and seek His face, as stated in 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Romans 2:1-16.
What does it mean for God to 'close the sky so there is no rain'?
The phrase 'close the sky so there is no rain' in 2 Chronicles 7:13 is a metaphor for God's control over the natural world and His ability to withhold blessing, as seen in Deuteronomy 11:13-17 and 1 Kings 17:1, which ultimately serves as a reminder of His sovereignty and our dependence on Him.
How does this verse relate to the broader context of 2 Chronicles?
2 Chronicles 7:13 is part of a larger narrative that emphasizes God's covenant with His people and the importance of obedience, as seen in 2 Chronicles 7:12, where God appears to Solomon and establishes the temple as a house of sacrifice, highlighting the significance of worship and repentance in the life of believers, as also mentioned in 1 Chronicles 16:1-36.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that God may be calling me to repentance in my own life, and how can I respond to His call?
- How does the concept of God's sovereignty over creation, as seen in 2 Chronicles 7:13, impact my daily life and decisions?
- What role does prayer and seeking God's face play in times of judgment or hardship, and how can I cultivate a deeper prayer life in response to this verse?
- In what ways can I apply the principles of 2 Chronicles 7:13 to my own community or church, and how can we collectively respond to God's call to repentance?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 7:13
[See comments on 2 Chronicles 7:12].
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:13
If I command the locusts, i.e. use my authority and power over them to cause them to do so. A metaphor elsewhere used in reference to unreasonable creatures, as , who are not properly capable of a command, or of obedience.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 7:13
2 Chronicles 7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;Ver. 13. If I shut up heaven, &c.] In answer this is to that prayer of Solomon, 1 Kings 8:35; 1 Kings 8:37.

(13) If I shut up heaven that there be no rain.—Deuteronomy 11:17; 2 Chronicles 6:26. If.—Hçn, as in Jeremiah 3:1; Isaiah 54:15. The locusts.—Hâgâb, a winged and edible species (Leviticus 11:22).
