2 Chronicles 6:1-6 ▼

1 Then Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,

2 and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”

3 And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,

4 and he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has fulfilled [it], saying,

5 From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel;

6 and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.
