14:006:007 Now it was in the heart of David my father
to build an house
for
the name of the lord God of Israel.
14:006:008 But the lord said to David my father,
Forasmuch as it was in
thine
heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well
in
that
it was in thine heart:
14:006:009 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the
house; but thy son
which
shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the
house
for my name.
14:006:010 The lord therefore hath performed
his word that he hath
spoken:
for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and
am
set on the throne of Israel, as the lord promised,
and have
built
the house for the name of the lord God of Israel.
14:006:011 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is
the covenant of the
lord,
that he made with the children of Israel.
14:006:012 And he stood before the altar of the lord
in the presence of
all
the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
14:006:013 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold
of five cubits long,
and
five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set
it
in
the midst of the court: and upon it he stood,
and kneeled
down
upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel,
and
spread
forth his hands toward heaven.
14:006:014 And said, O lord God of Israel, there
is no God like thee in
the
heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and
shewest
mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with
all
their hearts:
14:006:015 Thou which hast kept with thy servant David
my father that
which
thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth,
and
hast
fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
14:006:016 Now therefore, O lord God of Israel,
keep with thy servant
David
my father that which thou hast promised him, saying,
There
shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the
throne
of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their
way
to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
14:006:017 Now then, O lord God of Israel, let
thy word be verified,
which
thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
14:006:018 But will God in very deed dwell with men
on the earth? behold,
heaven
and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how
much
less
this house which I have built!
14:006:019 Have respect therefore to the prayer of
thy servant, and to
his
supplication, O lord my God, to hearken unto the
cry and
the
prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
