2 Chronicles 6:5-17

5Since the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 forthH3318 my peopleH5971 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I choseH977 no cityH5892 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 in, that my nameH8034 might beH1961 there; neither choseH977 I any manH376 to beH1961 princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: 6but I have chosenH977 JerusalemH3389, that my nameH8034 might beH1961 there, and have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to beH1961 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 7Now it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 8But Jehovah saidH559 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Whereas it was in thy heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 that it was in thy heartH3824: 9nevertheless thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 out of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for my nameH8034. 10And Jehovah hath performed his wordH1697 that he spake; for I am risenH6965 up in the room of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as Jehovah promised, and have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 11And there have I setH7760 the arkH727, wherein is the covenantH1285 of Jehovah, which he madeH3772 with the children of IsraelH3478.

12And he stoodH5975 before the altarH4196 of Jehovah in the presenceH6440 of all the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709 13(for SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 a brazen scaffold, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 long, and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broad, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 high, and had setH5414 it in the midstH8432 of the court; and upon it he stoodH5975, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064); 14and he saidH559, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee, in heavenH8064, or on earthH776; who keepest covenantH1285 and lovingkindness with thy servantsH5650, that walkH1980 before thee with all their heartH3820; 15who hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilled it with thy handH3027, as it is this dayH3117. 16NowH6258 thereforeH6258, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou hast promised him, sayingH559, There shall not fail thee a manH376 in my sight to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, if onlyH7535 thy children takeH8104 heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH1980 in my lawH8451 as thou hast walkedH1980 before me. 17NowH6258 thereforeH6258, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let thy wordH1697 be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732.
