1 Then Solomon said, |The LORD said he would live in a dark cloud. 2 But I have built you a high temple, a home for you to live in permanently.| 3 Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly from Israel while they were standing. 4 |Thanks be to the LORD God of Israel. With his mouth he made a promise to my father David; with his hand he carried it out. He said, 5 'Ever since I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I didn't choose any city from the tribes of Israel as a place to build a temple for my name. And I didn't choose any man to be prince over my people Israel. 6 But now I've chosen Jerusalem to be a place for my name; I've chosen David to rule my people Israel.' 2 Chronicles 6:1-6, God's Word Translation.
