Context of 2 Chronicles 6:10

8But the Lord told him, ‘You wanted to build the Temple to honor my name. Your intention is good, 9but you are not the one to do it. One of your own sons will build the Temple to honor me.’ “And now the Lord has fulfilled the promise he made, for I have become king in my father’s place, and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised. I have built this Temple to honor the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 11There I have placed the Ark, which contains the covenant that the Lord made with the people of Israel.” 12Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the entire community of Israel, and he lifted his hands in prayer.
