1 Kings 8:10-14

10Now it happened that when the priests had come out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the Lord’s house,

11so the priests could not stand [in their positions] to minister because of the cloud, for the glory and brilliance of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house (temple).

12Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness [of the cloud].

13I have certainly built You a lofty house, A place for You to dwell in forever.”

14Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
