nkjv 1Kings:8:12-21
nkjv@1Kings:8:12 @ Then Solomon spoke: "The LORD said He would dwell in the dark cloud.
nkjv@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever."
nkjv@1Kings:8:14 @ Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
nkjv@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said: "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying,
nkjv@1Kings:8:16 @ "Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.'
nkjv@1Kings:8:17 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
nkjv@1Kings:8:18 @ But the LORD said to my father David, "Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.
nkjv@1Kings:8:19 @ Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.'
nkjv@1Kings:8:20 @ So the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised; and I have built a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
nkjv@1Kings:8:21 @ And there I have made a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt."
