The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place ,
into the oracle of the house ,
to the most holy place ,
even under the wings of the cherubim .

For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark ,
and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above .

Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt ,
I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house ,
that my name might be there ;
but I chose David to be over my people Israel .'

Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name ,
you did well that it was in your heart .

you shall not build the house ;
but your son who shall come forth out of your body ,
he shall build the house for my name .'

Yahweh has established his word that he spoke ;
for I have risen up in the place of David my father ,
and I sit on the throne of Israel ,
as Yahweh promised ,
and have built the house for the name of Yahweh ,
the God of Israel .

There I have set a place for the ark ,
in which is the covenant of Yahweh ,
which he made with our fathers ,
when he brought them out of the land of Egypt ."
