Solomon Confirms God’s Presence

12

Then spake Salomon, The Lord said, that he woulde dwell in the darke cloude.

13

I haue built thee an house to dwell in, an habitation for thee to abide in for euer.

14

And the King turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel: for all the Congregation of Israel stoode there.

15

And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spake with his mouth vnto Dauid my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

16

Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no citie of all the tribes of Israel, to builde an house that my name might be there: but I haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel.

17

And it was in ye heart of Dauid my father to builde an house to the Name of the Lord God of Israel.

18

And the Lord said vnto Dauid my father, Where as it was in thine heart to build an house vnto my Name, thou diddest well, that thou wast so minded:

19

Neuerthelesse thou shalt not builde the house, but thy sonne that shall come out of thy loynes, he shall builde the house vnto my Name.

20

And the Lord hath made good his worde that he spake: and I am risen vp in the roume of Dauid my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and haue built the house for the Name of the Lord God of Israel.

21

And I haue prepared therein a place for the Arke, wherein is the couenant of the Lord which he made with our fathers, whe he brought them out of the lande of Egypt.
