2 "I have built You a lofty house, And a place for Your dwelling forever."2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.2 But I have built you a high temple, a home for you to live in permanently."2 But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever."2 But I have built a house of habitation for thee, even a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
3 Then the king faced about and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.3 Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly from Israel while they were standing.3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.3 And the king turned his face and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.

He said,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,4 And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5 Since the day that I brought My people from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man for a leader over My people Israel;5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:5 'Ever since I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I didn't choose any city from the tribes of Israel as a place to build a temple for my name. And I didn't choose any man to be prince over my people Israel.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: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 I have chosen David to be 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.6 But now I've chosen Jerusalem to be a place for my name; I've chosen David to rule 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.'6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 "Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.7 "My father David had his heart set on building a temple for the name of the LORD God of 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.7 And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
8 "But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.8 But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:8 However, the LORD said to my father David, 'Since you had your heart set on building a temple for my name, your intentions were good.8 But Yahweh said to David my father, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:8 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;
9 'Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he shall build the house for My name.'9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.9 But you must not build the temple. Instead, your own son will build the temple for my name.'9 nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.'9 nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
10 "Now the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in the place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.10 The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.10 The LORD has kept the promise he made. I've taken my father David's place, and I sit on the throne of Israel as the LORD promised. I've built the temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.10 "Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.10 And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

11 "There I have set the ark in which is the covenant of the LORD, which He made with the sons of Israel."11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.11 I've put the ark which contains the LORD's promise to Israel there."11 There I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with the children of Israel."11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the children of Israel.

12 Then he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:12 In the presence of the entire assembly of Israel, Solomon stood in front of the LORD's altar. He stretched out his hands [to pray].12 He stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands12 And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands.
13 Now Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt on his knees in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.13 For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.13 (Solomon had made a bronze platform 71/2 feet long, 71/2 feet wide, and 41/2 feet high. He put it in the middle of the courtyard. He stood on the platform, knelt in front of the entire assembly, and stretched out his hands toward heaven.)13 (for Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;)13 For Solomon had made a platform of bronze, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and upon it he stood, and he kneeled down on his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens,
14 He said, "O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no god like You in heaven or on earth, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart;14 And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and showest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:14 He said, "LORD God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on earth. You keep your promise of mercy to your servants, who obey you wholeheartedly. 14 and he said, "Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven, or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;14 and said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens or on the earth, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;
15 who has kept with Your servant David, my father, that which You have promised him; indeed You have spoken with Your mouth and have fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.15 Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.15 You have kept your promise to my father David, your servant. With your mouth you promised it. With your hand you carried it out as it is today.15 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.15 who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand as at this day.

You said, 'You will never fail to have an heir sitting in front of me on the throne of Israel if your descendants are faithful to me as you have been faithful to me.'16 "Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.'16 And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
17 "Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, let Your word be confirmed which You have spoken to Your servant David.17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.17 "So now, LORD God of Israel, may the promise you made to David, your servant, come true.17 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.17 And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, let thy word be verified which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
18 "But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built.18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!18 "Does God really live on earth with people? If heaven itself, the highest heaven, cannot hold you, then how can this temple that I have built?18 "But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house which I have built!18 But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

Listen to my cry for help as I pray to you.19 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;19 Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee;
20 that Your eye may be open toward this house day and night, toward the place of which You have said that You would put Your name there, to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place.20 That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.20 Day and night may your eyes be on this temple, the place about which you said your name will be there. Listen to me as I pray toward this place.20 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.20 that thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place in which thou hast said thou wouldest put thy name: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
