1 Kings 8:9-21

9There was nothingH369 in the arkH727 exceptH7535 the twoH8147 stoneH68 tabletsH3871 thatH834 MosesH4872 had placedH5117 in itH8033 at HorebH2722,1 whereH834 the LORDH3068 had made a covenantH3772 withH5973 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 after they had come outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

10AndH1961 when the priestsH3548 came outH3318 ofH4480 the Holy PlaceH6944, the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 11so that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 notH3808 stand thereH5975 to ministerH8334 becauseH6440 of the cloudH6051. ForH3588 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

12ThenH227 SolomonH8010 declaredH559:

14And as the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 stoodH5975 there, the kingH4428 turned aroundH5437H6440 and blessedH1288 them allH3605H6951H3478 15and saidH559:

“BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who has fulfilledH4390 with His own handH3027 what He spokeH1696 with His mouthH6310 toH854 my fatherH1 DavidH1732, sayingH559, 16‘SinceH4480 the dayH3117 I brought My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, I have notH3808 chosenH977 a cityH5892 from anyH3605 tribeH7626 of IsraelH3478 in which to buildH1129 a houseH1004 so that My NameH8034 would beH1961 thereH8033. But I have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to beH1961 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’

17Now it wasH1961 inH5973 the heartH3824 of my fatherH1 DavidH1732 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the NameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 18But the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 my fatherH1 DavidH1732, ‘SinceH3282 it wasH1961 inH5973 your heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for My NameH8034, you have done wellH2895H3588 to have thisH1961 inH5973 your heartH3824. 19NeverthelessH7535, youH859 are notH3808 the one to build itH1129H1004; butH3588H518 your sonH1121, your own offspringH3318H2504H1931, will buildH1129 the houseH1004 for My NameH8034.’

20Now the LORDH3068 has fulfilledH6965 the wordH1697 thatH834 He spokeH1696. I have succeededH6965H8478 my fatherH1 DavidH1732, and I sitH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, asH834 the LORDH3068 promisedH1696. I have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the NameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 21And there I have providedH7760H8033 a placeH4725 for the arkH727, which containsH834 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 thatH834 He madeH3772 withH5973 our fathersH1 when He brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.”
