1 Then Solomon said, |The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick cloud. 2 But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever.| 3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood. 4 He said, |Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has 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; nor did I choose any man to be a leader over my people Israel: 6 but I chose Jerusalem, that my name may be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.' 2 Chronicles 6:1-6, New Heart English Bible.
