Contextual Overview
1 Then Solomon said, "The Lord chose to live in a dark cloud. 2 But, Lord, I have built a beautiful house for you to live in forever." 3 King Solomon turned around and blessed all the Israelites gathered in front of him. 4 He said, "Praise the Lord , the God of Israel, who has done what he promised my father David. The Lord said, 5 ‘I led Israel out of Egypt long ago. And in all that time, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel for a place to build a house for my name. I have not chosen a man to lead my people, the people of Israel. 6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem as a place for my name, and I have chosen David to lead my people Israel.' 7 "My father David wanted to build a temple for the name of the Lord , the God of Israel. 8 But the Lord said to my father, ‘David, it is good that you want to build a temple for my name, 9 but you cannot build the Temple. Your son will build the Temple for my name.' 10 Now, the Lord has done what he said he would do. I am the new king in my father's place. David was my father. Now I am Israel's king. That is what the Lord promised, and I have built the Temple for the name of the Lord , the God of Israel.
