2 Chronicles 6:4-15

4And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who hath with his handsH3027 fulfilledH4390 that which he spokeH1696 with his mouthH6310 to my fatherH1 DavidH1732, sayingH559, 5Since the dayH3117 that I brought forthH3318 my peopleH5971 from 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 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 8But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Forasmuch as it was in thy heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 in that it was in thy heartH3824: 9HoweverH7535 thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 who shall come forthH3318 out of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for my nameH8034. 10The LORDH3068 therefore hath performedH6965 his wordH1697 that he hath spokenH1696: for I am raised upH6965 in the stead of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and am seatedH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as the LORDH3068 promisedH1696, and have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 11And in itH8033 have I putH7760 the arkH727, in which is the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, that he madeH3772 with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

12And he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 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 kneeledH1288 upon his kneesH1290 before all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064,1 14And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee in the heavenH8064, nor on the earthH776; who keepestH8104 covenantH1285, and showest mercyH2617 to thy servantsH5650, that walkH1980 beforeH6440 thee with all their heartsH3820: 15Thou who hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou hast promisedH1696 him; and hast spokenH1696 with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilledH4390 it with thy handH3027, as it is this dayH3117.
