2 Chronicles 6:1-11

1Then spake SolomonH8010, The LORDH3068 hath saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thickH6205 darknessH6205.

2But I have builtH1129 thee an houseH1004 of habitationH2073, and a placeH4349 for thee to dwellH3427 in for everH5769.

3And the kingH4428 turnedH5437 his faceH6440, and blessedH1288 allH3605 the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478: and allH3605 the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 stoodH5975.

4And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 spake with his mouthH6310 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hath with his handsH3027 fulfilledH4390 it, sayingH559,

5SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 forthH3318 my peopleH5971 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I choseH977 noH3808 cityH5892 outH3318 of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 in, that my nameH8034 might be there; neitherH3808 choseH977 I anyH3605 manH376 to be princeH5057 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.

7NowH1961 it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

8But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Whereas it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 that it was in thine heartH3824:

9neverthelessH3588 thou shalt notH3808 buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for my nameH8034.

10And the LORDH3068 hath performed his wordH1697 that he spake; for I am risenH6965 upH6965 in the roomH1004 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as the LORDH3068 promisedH1696, and have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

11And there have I setH7760 the arkH727, whereinH834 is the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, whichH834 he madeH3772 with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
