7 “And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
8 But the Lord said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well because of what was in your heart;
9 only you will not be the one to build the house. For your son, who will be born to you, he will build a house for My name.’
10 “The Lord has fulfilled the word that He spoke. For I have risen up in the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord spoke, and I will build the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
11 And there I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that He made with the children of Israel.”
12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord before all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
13 For Solomon made a bronze platform and set it in the midst of the enclosure. It was five cubits in length, five cubits in width, and three cubits in height. And he stood on it and knelt down before all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands to heaven.
