1 Kings 8:15-21

15He saidH559, “1BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 2whoH834 spokeH1696 with His mouthH6310 to my fatherH1 DavidH1732, and fulfilledH4390 it with His handsH3027, sayingH559, 16‘3SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 from EgyptH4714, I did not chooseH977 a cityH5892 out of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 in which to buildH1129 a houseH1004 so that 4My nameH8034 would be thereH8033, but 5I choseH977 DavidH1732 to be overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’ 176Now it was 7in the heartH3824 of my fatherH1 DavidH1732 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 18But the LordH3068 saidH559 to my fatherH1 DavidH1732, ‘BecauseH3282H834 it was 8in your heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for My nameH8034, you didH2895 wellH2895 that it was 9in your heartH3824. 1910NeverthelessH7534 you shall not buildH1129 the houseH1004, but your sonH1121 who 11will be bornH3318H2504 to you, he will buildH1129 the houseH1004 for My nameH8034.’ 20Now the LordH3068 has fulfilledH6965 His wordH1697 whichH834 He spokeH1696; for 12I have risenH6965 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 my fatherH1 DavidH1732 and I sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 13promisedH1696, and I have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 21And thereH8033 I have setH7760 a placeH4725 for the arkH727, 14in whichH834 is the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068, whichH834 He madeH3772 with our fathersH1 when He broughtH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.”
