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.
11. I have placed in the Temple the Covenant Box, which contains the stone tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with the people of Israel.”
