II. CHRonicieEs VI. 18.

4 And he said, “ Blessed be J the Lorp =God _of Israél, who hath with His hands fulfilled that which He spake with His mouth to my father -David, saying,
5 ‘Since the day that I brought_forth My ~people out_of the_land_of Egypt I chose no city among all the_tribes_of Israél to build a house in, that My name might_be there; neither chose I any tman to be a ruler over My people Israél :
6 But I have_chosen Jerusalem, that My name might _be there; and haye_ chosen David to be over My people Israél.
7 Now it was in the_heart_of David my father to build a house for the_ name-_of ! the Lorp =God_of Israél.
8 But Jthe Lorp said to David my father, ‘Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build a house for My name, thou didst_well in_that it was in thine heart :
° Notwithstanding thow shalt not build the house; but thy son x+which shall_come_forth out_of thy loins, he shall_build the house for My name.’
103 The Lorp therefore hath_perform- ed His -word that He -hath_spoken: for Iam_risen_up in the_room_of David my father, and am-_set on the_throne_of Israél, ccas Jthe Lorp promised, and have_built the house for the-name_of 3 the Lord =God_of Israél.
tl And in it have_I_put -the ark, wherein is the_covenant_of Jthe Lorn, that He ¢made with the_schildren_of Israél.”
7% And he stood before the_altar_of Jthe Lorp in the_presence_of all the_ acongregation_of Israél, and spread_ forth his hands :
33 For Solomon had_made a brazen sc scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had_set it in the-midst_of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled_ down upon his knees before all the_ a congregation_of Israél, and spread_ forth his hands toward ¢ x=heayen,
14 And said, “O_JLorp =God _of Israél, there is no =God like Thee in the =heayen, nor in the earth; +which_ keepest xcovenant, and shewest k xmercy unto Thy servants, xthat walk before Thee with all their hearts:
15 Thou which -hast_kept with Thy servant David my father that which Thou :hast_promised him ; and spakest with Thy mouth, and -hast_fulfilled it with Thine hand, as 7¢ 7s xthis xday,
16 Now therefore, O_’ Lorp =God_of Israél, ‘keep with Thy servant David my father that which Thou hast_pro- mised. him, saying, ‘There shall not fail thee a tman in My sight +to_sit upon the_throne_of Israel; oyet so that thy schildren 'take_heed to their -way to walk in My law, «cas thou shast_walked before Me.’
17 Now then, O_! Lorp =God_of Israél, Het Thy word be_verified, which Thou *hast_spoken unto Thy servant David.
18 But will =God in very_deed dwell with «xmen on the earth? behold, =heaven and the_=heaven_of xheavens
