2 I have surely built You an exalted house,
And aa place for You to dwell in forever.”
And aa place for You to dwell in forever.”
Solomon’s Speech upon Completion of the Work
3 Then the king turned around and ablessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
4 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His hands what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, asaying,
5 ‘Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man to be a ruler over My people Israel.
6 aYet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I bhave chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
7 Now ait was in the heart of my father David to build a1 temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
8 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart.
9 Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My aname.’
