 [1 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/1) Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/2) But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/3) And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/4) And he said, Blessed *be* the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled *that* which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,
 
 [5 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/5) 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:
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/6) But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-chronicles/6/7) Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
