2 Chronicles 6:3

Praise and worship

1 Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud;

2 and I have built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”

And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all

4 and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,

5 ‘Since the day I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over My people Israel.
