Read in context

2 Chronicles 6:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.

9 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’

10 Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

11 And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with the children of Israel.”

12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
