1 Kings 8:10-19 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

10. And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,

11. and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.

12. Then said Solomon, `Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;

13. I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.'

14. And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.

15. And he saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath fulfilled [it], saying,

16. From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

17. `And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

18. and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;

19. only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name.
