14And the kingH4428 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 aboutH5437, and blessedH1288 all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478: (and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 stoodH5975;) 15And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which spakeH1696 with his mouthH6310 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hath with his handH3027 fulfilledH4390 it, sayingH559, 16Since the dayH3117 that I brought forthH3318 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, I choseH977 no cityH5892 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 an houseH1004, that my nameH8034 might be therein; but I choseH977 DavidH1732 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 17And it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 18And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, WhereasH834H3282 it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 that it was in thine heartH3824. 19NeverthelessH7535 thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 that shall come forth outH3318 of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 unto my nameH8034. 20And YhwhH3068 hath performedH6965 his wordH1697 that he spakeH1696, and I am risen upH6965 in the room of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as YhwhH3068 promisedH1696, and have builtH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 21And I have setH7760 there a placeH4725 for the arkH727, wherein is the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068, which he madeH3772 with our fathersH1, when he brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

22And SolomonH8010 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of YhwhH3068 in the presence ofH5048 all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064: 23And he saidH559, YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee, in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, or on earthH776 beneath, who keepestH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 with thy servantsH5650 that walkH1980 beforeH6440 thee with all their heartH3820: 24Who hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that thou promisedstH1696 him: thou spakestH1696 also with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilledH4390 it with thine handH3027, as it is this dayH3117.
