1 Then spoke Solomon: The LORD hath said that He would dwell in the thick darkness. 2 But I have built Thee a house of habitation, And a place for Thee to dwell in for ever. 3 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel; and all the congregation of Israel stood. 4 And he said: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth unto David my father, and hath with His hands fulfilled it, saying: 5 Since the day that I brought forth My people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that My name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over My people Israel; 6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name might be there; and have chosen David to be over My people Israel. 2 Chronicles 6:1-6, JPS Tanakh 1917.
