Based on my research using BibleWorks 7, the ten chapters in Scripture with the most words all have more than 1700 words each. All 10 chapters are in the Old Testament.
Five of the 10 are from the Pentateuch, and Leviticus is the only book that has more than one chapter that is in the top 10. Two of 10 are from the Major Prophets.
Here are the 10 longest chapters in the Bible by the total number of words that they have, in ascending order:
Leviticus 14 – 1713 words
1 Samuel 17 – 1719 words
Genesis 24 – 1816 words
Ezekiel 16 – 1820 words
Jeremiah 51 – 1853 words
