13 aI have surely built You an exalted house,
bAnd a place for You to dwell in forever.”
bAnd a place for You to dwell in forever.”
Solomon’s Speech at Completion of the Work
14 Then the king turned around and ablessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
15 And he said: a“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who bspoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying,
16 ‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that aMy name might be there; but I chose bDavid to be over My people Israel.’
17 Now ait was in the heart of my father David to build a1 temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
