2 Chronicles 6:3-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
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.’
10
Now the
Lord
has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in place of my father David 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.
11
There I have placed the ark in which is the covenant of the
Lord
, which He made with the sons of Israel.'
King James Version
Chapter 6
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.
10
The
Lord
therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the
Lord
promised, and have built the house for the name of the
Lord
God of Israel.
11
And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the
Lord
, that he made with the children of Israel.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
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."
10
So the
Lord
has fulfilled what he promised.
I have taken the place of my father David
and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the
Lord
promised.
I have built the temple for the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
11
I have put the ark there,
where the
Lord
’s covenant is
that he made with the Israelites.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
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.’
10
And now the
Lord
has fulfilled the promise he made, for I have become king in my father’s place, and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the
Lord
promised. I have built this Temple to honor the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
11
There I have placed the Ark, which contains the covenant that the
Lord
made with the people of Israel.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
3
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
Lord
, the God of Israel, who with his hand has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to David my father, saying,
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.’
10
Now the
Lord
has fulfilled his promise that he made. For I have risen in the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as the
Lord
promised, and I have built the house for the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
11
And there I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the
Lord
that he made with the people of Israel."
New International Version
Chapter 6
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.’
10
"The
Lord
has kept the promise he made. I have succeeded David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the
Lord
promised, and I have built the temple for the Name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
11
There I have placed the ark, in which is the covenant of the
Lord
that he made with the people of Israel."
New King James Version
Chapter 6
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.’
10
So the
Lord
has fulfilled His word which He spoke, and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the
Lord
promised; and I have built the temple for the name of the
Lord
God of Israel.
11
And there I have put the ark, in which
is
the covenant of the
Lord
which He made with the children of Israel.”
