11:008:009 There was nothing in the ark save the two
tables of stone,
which
Moses put there at Horeb, when the lord made a
covenant
with
the children of Israel, when they came out of the land
of
Egypt.
11:008:010 And it came to pass, when the priests were
come out of the
holy
place, that the cloud filled the house of the lord,
11:008:011 So that the priests could not stand to
minister because of the
cloud:
for the glory of the lord had filled the house
of the
lord.
11:008:012 Then spake Solomon, The lord said
that he would dwell in the
thick
darkness.
11:008:013 I have surely built thee an house to dwell
in, a settled place
for
thee to abide in for ever.
11:008:014 And the king turned his face about, and
blessed all the
congregation
of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel
stood;)
11:008:015 And he said, Blessed be the lord God
of Israel, which spake
with
his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand
fulfilled
it, saying,
11:008:016 Since the day that I brought forth my people
Israel out of
Egypt,
I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to
build
an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose
David
to be over my people Israel.
11:008:017 And it was in the heart of David my father
to build an house
for
the name of the lord God of Israel.
11:008:018 And the lord said unto David my father,
Whereas it was in
thine
heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well
that
it was in thine heart.
11:008:019 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house;
but thy son that
shall
come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house
unto
my name.
11:008:020 And the lord hath performed his word
that he spake, and I am
risen
up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne
of
Israel, as the lord promised, and have built an
house for
the
name of the lord God of Israel.
11:008:021 And I have set there a place for the ark,
wherein is the
covenant
of the lord, which he made with our fathers, when
he
brought
them out of the land of Egypt.
11:008:022 And Solomon stood before the altar of the
lord in the presence
of
all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his
hands
toward
heaven:
11:008:023 And he said, lord God of Israel, there
is no God like thee, in
heaven
above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and
mercy
with thy servants that walk before thee with all their
heart:
