1 Kings
Chapters 8:14-20
Revised Version 1885
14And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
15And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
18But the Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart:
19nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
20And the Lord hath established his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
