2 Chronicles 6:1-11

1ThenH227 saidH559 SolomonH8010: Jehovah saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thickH6205 darknessH6205.

2But I have builtH1129 a houseH1004 of habitation for thee, even a settled placeH4349 for thee to abide in for everH5769.

3And the kingH4428 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 and blessedH1288 the whole congregation of IsraelH3478; and the whole congregation of IsraelH3478 stoodH5975.

4And he saidH559: BlessedH1288 be Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who spokeH1696 with his mouthH6310 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hath with his handsH3027 fulfilled it, sayingH559,

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 I have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to beH1961 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.

7And it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of Jehovah the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

8But 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;

9nevertheless 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.

10And 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.

11And in it have I putH7760 the arkH727, wherein is the covenantH1285 of Jehovah, which he madeH3772 with the children of IsraelH3478.
