1 Kings 8:9-21

9There was nothingH369 in the arkH727 save the twoH8147 tables of stoneH68 which MosesH4872 placed there at HorebH2722, whenH834 Jehovah madeH3772 [a covenant] with the children of IsraelH3478, whenH834 they cameH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

10And it came to pass when the priestsH3548 wereH1961 come out of the holyH6944 placeH6944, that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of Jehovah,

11and the priestsH3548 could not standH5975 to do their service because of the cloudH6051; for the gloryH3519 of Jehovah had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of Jehovah.

12ThenH227 saidH559 SolomonH8010: Jehovah saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thickH6205 darknessH6205.

13I have indeed builtH1129 a houseH1004 of habitation for thee, a settled placeH4349 for thee to abide in for everH5769.

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.
