¹ Then said ^H559 Solomon, ^H8010 The LORD ^H3068 hath said ^H559 that he would dwell ^H7931 in the thick darkness. ^H6205

² But I have built ^H1129 an house ^H1004 of habitation ^H2073 for thee, and a place ^H4349 for thy dwelling ^H3427 for ever. ^H5769

³ And the king ^H4428 turned ^H5437 his face, ^H6440 and blessed ^H1288 the whole congregation ^H6951 of Israel: ^H3478 and all the congregation ^H6951 of Israel ^H3478 stood. ^H5975

⁴ And he said, ^H559 Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 who hath with his hands ^H3027 fulfilled ^H4390 that which he spake ^H1696 with his mouth ^H6310 to my father ^H1 David, ^H1732 saying, ^H559

⁵ Since the day ^H3117 that I brought forth ^H3318 my people ^H5971 out of the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 I chose ^H977 no city ^H5892 among all the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 to build ^H1129 an house ^H1004 in, that my name ^H8034 might be there; neither chose ^H977 I any man ^H376 to be a ruler ^H5057 over my people ^H5971 Israel: ^H3478

⁶ But I have chosen ^H977 Jerusalem, ^H3389 that my name ^H8034 might be there; and have chosen ^H977 David ^H1732 to be over my people ^H5971 Israel. ^H3478

⁷ Now it was in the heart ^H3824 of David ^H1732 my father ^H1 to build ^H1129 an house ^H1004 for the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel. ^H3478

⁸ But the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 Forasmuch as it was in thine heart ^H3824 to build ^H1129 an house ^H1004 for my name, ^H8034 thou didst well ^H2895 in that it was in thine heart: ^H3824

⁹ Notwithstanding ^H7535 thou shalt not build ^H1129 the house; ^H1004 but thy son ^H1121 which shall come forth ^H3318 out of thy loins, ^H2504 he shall build ^H1129 the house ^H1004 for my name. ^H8034

¹⁰ The LORD ^H3068 therefore hath performed ^H6965 his word ^H1697 that he hath spoken: ^H1696 for I am risen up ^H6965 in the room of David ^H1732 my father, ^H1 and am set ^H3427 on the throne ^H3678 of Israel, ^H3478 as the LORD ^H3068 promised, ^H1696 and have built ^H1129 the house ^H1004 for the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel. ^H3478

¹¹ And in it ^H8033 have I put ^H7760 the ark, ^H727 wherein is the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD, ^H3068 that he made ^H3772 with the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478
