2 Chronicles 6:5

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.’

10 So the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke, and I have filled the position of my father David, and ^asit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised; and I have built the temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

11 And there I have put the ark, ^ain which is the covenant of the Lord which He made with the children of Israel.”

Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication

12 ^aThen¹ Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven);
