2 Chronicles 6:5-17

5Since the dayH3117 that I brought forthH3318 my peopleH5971 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 I choseH977 no cityH5892 among all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 in, that my nameH8034 might be there; neither choseH977 I any manH376 to be a rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: 6But I have chosenH977 JerusalemH3389, that my nameH8034 might be there; and have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 7Now it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 8But YhwhH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Forasmuch as it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 in that it was in thine heartH3824: 9NotwithstandingH7535 thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 which shall come forthH3318 out of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for my nameH8034. 10YhwhH3068 therefore hath performedH6965 his wordH1697 that he hath spokenH1696: for I am risen upH6965 in the room of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and am setH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as YhwhH3068 promisedH1696, and have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 11And in itH8033 have I putH7760 the arkH727, wherein is the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068, that he madeH3772 with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

12And he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of YhwhH3068 in the presence of all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709: 13For SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 a brasenH5178 scaffoldH3595, of fiveH2568 cubitsH520 longH753, and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broadH7341, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 highH6967, and had setH5414 it in the midstH8432 of the courtH5835: and upon it he stoodH5975, and kneeled downH1288 upon his kneesH1290 before all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064,1 14And saidH559, O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee in the heavenH8064, nor in the earthH776; which keepestH8104 covenantH1285, and shewest mercyH2617 unto thy servantsH5650, that walkH1980 beforeH6440 thee with all their heartsH3820: 15Thou which hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou hast promisedH1696 him; and spakestH1696 with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilledH4390 it with thine handH3027, as it is this dayH3117. 16Now therefore, O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou hast promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 in my sightH6440 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478; yet soH7535 that thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870 to walkH3212 in my lawH8451, as thou hast walkedH1980 beforeH6440 me.2 17Now then, O YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let thy wordH1697 be verifiedH539, which thou hast spokenH1696 unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732.
