15 saying, “Bless Israel's God, the LORD, who spoke directly to my father David and now has kept his promise:

1 Kings 8:15 In-Context

13 but I have indeed built you a lofty temple as a place where you can live forever."
14 The king turned around, and while the entire assembly of Israel was standing there, he blessed them,
15 saying, “Bless Israel's God, the LORD, who spoke directly to my father David and now has kept his promise:
16 ‘From the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt I haven't selected a city from any Israelite tribe as a site for the building of a temple for my name. But now I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'
17 My father David wanted to build a temple for the name of the LORD, Israel's God.
