1 Kings 8:14-21

14And the kingH4428 turnedH5437 his faceH6440, and blessedH1288 the whole congregation of IsraelH3478; and the whole congregation of IsraelH3478 stoodH5975.

15And he saidH559: BlessedH1288 be Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who spokeH1696 with his mouthH6310 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hath with his handH3027 fulfilled it, sayingH559,

16Since the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 forthH3318 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, I choseH977 no cityH5892 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 in, that my nameH8034 might beH1961 there; but I have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to beH1961 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.

17And it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of Jehovah the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

18But Jehovah saidH559 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Whereas it was in thy heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 unto my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 that it was in thy heartH3824;

19nevertheless thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 out of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 unto my nameH8034.

20And Jehovah has performed his wordH1697 which he spokeH1696; and I am risenH6965 up in the room of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as Jehovah promised, and I have builtH1129 the houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of Jehovah the 3GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

21And I have setH7760 there a placeH4725 for the arkH727, wherein is the covenantH1285 of Jehovah, which he madeH3772 with our fathersH1 whenH834 he broughtH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
