15 You have kept the promise you made to my father David; today every word has been fulfilled.
16 Now, Lord God of Israel, keep the other promise you made to my father when you told him that there would always be one of his descendants ruling as king of Israel, provided that they carefully obeyed your Law just as he did.
17 So now, Lord God of Israel, let everything come true that you promised to your servant David.
18 “But can you, O God, really live on earth among men and women? Not even all heaven is large enough to hold you, so how can this Temple that I have built be large enough?
19 Lord my God, I am your servant. Listen to my prayer and grant the requests I make to you.
20 Watch over this Temple day and night. You have promised that this is where you will be worshipped, so hear me when I face this Temple and pray.
21 Hear my prayers and the prayers of your people Israel when they face this place and pray. In your home in heaven hear us and forgive us.
