1 Kings 8:9-21

9There was nothing in the arkH727 exceptH7535 the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68, which MosesH4872 putH3240 there at HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenant with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.1 10And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 had come outH3318 of the holyH6944 place, that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, 11So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not standH5975 to ministerH8334 becauseH6440 of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

12Then spokeH559 SolomonH8010, The LORDH3068 saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thick darknessH6205. 13I have surelyH1129 builtH1129 thee an houseH1004 to dwell inH2073, a settled placeH4349 for thee to abide inH3427 for everH5769. 14And the kingH4428 turnedH5437 his faceH6440 aboutH5437, and blessedH1288 all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478: (and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 were standingH5975;) 15And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who spokeH1696 with his mouthH6310 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hath with his handH3027 fulfilledH4390 it, sayingH559, 16Since the dayH3117 that I brought forthH3318 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 from EgyptH4714, I have chosenH977 no cityH5892 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 an houseH1004, that my nameH8034 might be in it; 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 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 18And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, ThoughH3282H834 it was in thy heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 to my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 that it was in thy heartH3824. 19NeverthelessH7535 thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 that shall come forth outH3318 of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 to my nameH8034. 20And the LORDH3068 hath performedH6965 his wordH1697 that he spokeH1696, and I have risenH6965 in the stead of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as the LORDH3068 promisedH1696, and have builtH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 21And I have setH7760 there a placeH4725 for the arkH727, in which is the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, which he madeH3772 with our fathersH1, when he brought them fromH3318 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
