Contextual Overview
1 Then King Solomon prayed, " Lord , you have chosen to live in clouds and darkness. 2 Now I have built a majestic temple for you, a place for you to live in forever." 3 All the people of Israel were standing there. The king turned to face them and asked God's blessing on them. 4 He said, "Praise the Lord God of Israel! He has kept the promise he made to my father David when he said to him, 5 ‘From the time I brought my people out of Egypt until now, I did not choose any city in the land of Israel as the place to build a temple where I would be worshiped, and I did not choose anyone to lead my people Israel. 6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem as the place where I will be worshiped, and you, David, to rule my people.'" 7 And Solomon continued, "My father David planned to build a temple for the worship of the Lord God of Israel, 8 but the Lord said to him, ‘You were right in wanting to build a temple for me, 9 but you will never build it. It is your son, your own son, who will build my temple.' 10 "Now the Lord has kept his promise: I have succeeded my father as king of Israel, and I have built a temple for the worship of the Lord God of Israel.
