Since the
day that I brought
forth my
people Israel out of
Egypt, I
chose no
city out of all the
tribes of
Israel to
build an
house, that my
name might be therein; but I
chose David to be over my
people Israel.

And it was in the
heart of
David my
father to
build an
house for the
name of the
LORD God of
Israel.

And the
LORD said unto
David my
father, Whereas it was in thine
heart to
build an
house unto my
name, thou didst
well that it was in thine
heart.

Nevertheless thou shalt not
build the
house; but thy
son that shall come forth
out of thy
loins, he shall
build the
house unto my
name.

And the
LORD hath
performed his
word that he
spake, and I am risen
up in the room of
David my
father, and
sit on the
throne of
Israel, as the
LORD promised, and have
built an
house for the
name of the
LORD God of
Israel.

And I have
set there a
place for the
ark, wherein is the
covenant of the
LORD, which he
made with our
fathers, when he brought them
out of the
land of
Egypt.

And
Solomon stood before the
altar of the
LORD in the presence
of all the
congregation of
Israel, and spread
forth his
hands toward
heaven:

And he
said,
LORD God of
Israel, there is no
God like thee, in
heaven above, or on
earth beneath, who
keepest covenant and
mercy with thy
servants that
walk before thee with all their
heart:

Who hast
kept with thy
servant David my
father that thou
promisedst him: thou
spakest also with thy
mouth, and hast
fulfilled it with thine
hand, as it is this
day.
