## 1 Kings 8:22-23 in Context (Verses 19–26 KJV)
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/19) 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.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/20) And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/21) And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein *is* the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/22) ¶ And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/23) And he said, LORD God of Israel, *there is* no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/24) Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled *it* with thine hand, as *it is* this day.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/25) Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.**
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/26) And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
 
[1 Kings 7](/kjv/1-kings/7) [1 Kings 9](/kjv/1-kings/9)
