2 Chronicles 6:5-17

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.

12And he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 in the presenceH6440 of allH3605 the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spreadH6566 forth his handsH3709:

13(for SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 a brasen scaffold, of fiveH2568 cubitsH520 longH753, and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broadH5048, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 highH6967, and had setH5414 it in the midstH8432 of the courtH5835; and uponH5921 it he stoodH5975, and kneeledH1290 downH5414 uponH5921 his kneesH1290 beforeH5048 allH3605 the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spreadH6566 forthH5414 his handsH3709 towardH5921 heavenH8064:)

14and he saidH559, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is noH369 GodH430 like thee, in the heavenH8064, or in the earthH776; who keepest covenantH1285 and mercyH3068 with thy servantsH5650, that walkH1980 beforeH6440 thee with allH3605 their heartH3820:

15who hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that whichH834 thou didst promiseH1696 him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilledH4390 it with thine handH3027, as it is this dayH3117.

16NowH6258 therefore, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that whichH834 thou hast promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, There shall notH3808 failH3772 thee a manH376 in my sightH6440 to sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478; ifH518 onlyH7535 thy childrenH1121 takeH8104 heedH8104 to their wayH1870, to walkH1980 in my lawH8451 as thou hast walkedH1980 beforeH6440 meH6440.

17NowH6258 therefore, O LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, letH6258 thy wordH1697 be verifiedH539, whichH834 thou spakest unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732.
