2 Chronicles 6:1-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
1
Then Solomon said,
'The
Lord
has said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
2
I have built You a lofty house,
And a place for Your dwelling forever.'
3
Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
4
He said, 'Blessed be the
Lord
, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and fulfilled
it
with His hands, saying,
5
‘Since the day that I brought My people from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel
in which
to build a house, so that My name might be there, nor did I choose a man to be
the
leader over My people Israel;
6
but I have chosen Jerusalem so that My name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
7
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
8
But the
Lord
said to my father David, ‘Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.
9
Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he shall build the house for My name.’
King James Version
Chapter 6
1
Then said Solomon, The
Lord
hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2
But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
3
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
4
And he said, Blessed be the
Lord
God of Israel, 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 Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
6
But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the
Lord
God of Israel.
8
But the
Lord
said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:
9
Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

Chapter 6
1
Then Solomon said:
The
Lord
said he would dwell in total darkness,
2
but I have built an exalted temple for you,
a place for your residence forever.
3
Then the king turned and blessed the entire congregation of Israel while they were standing.
4
He said:
Blessed be the
Lord
God of Israel!
He spoke directly to my father David,
and he has fulfilled the promise
by his power.
He said,
5
"Since the day I brought my people Israel
out of the land of Egypt,
I have not chosen a city to build a temple in
among any of the tribes of Israel,
so that my name would be there,
and I have not chosen a man
to be ruler over my people Israel.
6
But I have chosen Jerusalem
so that my name will be there,
and I have chosen David
to be over my people Israel."
7
My father David had his heart set
on building a temple for the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
8
However, the
Lord
said to my father David,
"Since it was your desire to build a temple for my name,
you have done well to have this desire.
9
Yet, you are not the one to build the temple,
but your son, your own offspring,
will build the temple for my name."
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
1
Then Solomon prayed, 'O
Lord
, you have said that you would live in a thick cloud of darkness.
2
Now I have built a glorious Temple for you, a place where you can live forever!'
3
Then the king turned around to the entire community of Israel standing before him and gave this blessing:
4
Praise the
Lord
, the God of Israel, who has kept the promise he made to my father, David. For he told my father,
5
‘From the day I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I have never chosen a city among any of the tribes of Israel as the place where a Temple should be built to honor my name. Nor have I chosen a king to lead my people Israel.
6
But now I have chosen Jerusalem as the place for my name to be honored, and I have chosen David to be king over my people Israel.’'
7
Then Solomon said, 'My father, David, wanted to build this Temple to honor the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
8
But the
Lord
told him, ‘You wanted to build the Temple to honor my name. Your intention is good,
9
but you are not the one to do it. One of your own sons will build the Temple to honor me.’

2
But I have built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever."

Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel stood.
4
And he said, "Blessed be the

5
‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there, and I chose no man as prince over my people Israel;
6
but I have chosen Jerusalem that my name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
7
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the
Lord
, the 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 that it was in your heart.
9
Nevertheless, it is not you who shall build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’
New International Version
Chapter 6
1
Then Solomon said, "The
Lord
has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud;
2
I have built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever."
3
While the whole assembly of Israel was standing there, the king turned around and blessed them.
4
Then he said: "Praise be to the
Lord
, the God of Israel, who with his hands has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to my father David. For he said,
5
‘Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel.
6
But now I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.’
7
"My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
8
But the
Lord
said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name.
9
Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’
New King James Version
Chapter 6
1
Then Solomon spoke:
“The
Lord
said He would dwell in the dark cloud.
2
I have surely built You an exalted house,
And a place for You to dwell in forever.”
3
Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
4
And he said: “Blessed
be
the
Lord
God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His hands
what
He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
5
‘Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel
in which
to build a house, that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man to be a ruler over My people Israel.
6
Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
7
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the
Lord
God of Israel.
8
But the
Lord
said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart.
9
Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.’
