1 Then said Solomon, The Lord hath said that he would dwell in the thicke darkenesse.
2 But I haue built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for euer.
3 And the King turned his face and blessed the whole Congregation of Israel, (and all the Congregation of Israel stood)
4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath with his handes fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father Dauid, saying,
5 Since the day that I brought foorth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no citie among all the tribes of Israel to builde an house in, that my Name might be there, neither chose I any man to be a ruler ouer my people Israel:
6 But I haue chosen Ierusalem, that my name might be there, and haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel.
7 Now it was in the heart of Dauid my father to build an house for the Name of the Lord God of Israel.
8 But the Lord said to Dauid my father: Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to builde an house for my Name, thou diddest well in that it was in thine heart.
9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house, but thy sonne which shall come foorth out of thy loynes, he shall build the house for my Name.
10 The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen vp in the roome of Dauid my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and haue built the house for the Name of the Lord God of Israel.
11 And in it haue I put the Arke, wherein is the Couenant of the Lord, that hee made with the children of Israel.
