9 but you yourself will not build the house, but your son who will proceed from your loins; he himself will build the house for my name.'

10 Now Yahweh has fulfilled his word that he spoke. I have risen in the place of David my father and am seated on the throne of Israel as Yahweh has spoken. I have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh before all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.

13 (For Solomon had made a platform of bronze five cubits long and five cubits wide and three cubits high, and placed it in the midst of the outer court.) And he stood upon it, then knelt down on his knees before the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands to heaven.
