10 As the priests were leaving the Temple, it was suddenly filled with a cloud
11 shining with the dazzling light of the Lord's presence, and they could not go back in to perform their duties.
12 Then Solomon prayed:“You, Lord, have placed the sun in the sky,yet you have chosen to live in clouds and darkness.
13 Now I have built a majestic temple for you,a place for you to live in forever.”
14 As the people stood there, King Solomon turned to face them, and he asked God's blessing on them.
15 He said, “Praise the Lord God of Israel! He has kept the promise he made to my father David, when he told him,
16 ‘From the time I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen any city in all the land of Israel in which a temple should be built where I would be worshiped. But I chose you, David, to rule my people.’”
