This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

2 Chronicles 2:1 - 3:17

- Solomon prepares to build the temple and a palace, requesting skilled workers and materials from Hiram of Tyre and organizing a large labor force.

- Construction of the temple begins on Mount Moriah; detailed measurements and descriptions are given of the structure, including the Most Holy Place and two bronze pillars.

Acts 19:11-20

- God performs extraordinary miracles through Paul in Ephesus, with handkerchiefs and aprons bringing healing and deliverance from evil spirits.

- Jewish exorcists try to use Jesus’ name and are overpowered; fear falls on the city, many confess their practices, and the word of the Lord spreads widely.
