2nd Chronicles 6:3

1 Then spoke Solomon, Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever.

3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.

4 He said, Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,

5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince 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 a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
