3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Yisra'el: and all the assembly of Yisra'el stood.
4 He said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,

7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Yisra'el.
