10. And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,
11. And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
12. Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.
13. Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.
14. And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.
15. And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:
16. Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17. And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:
18. And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.
19. Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
20. The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
