The Message
1 Kings 8:11-13
The Message
The Temple Finished, Dedicated, Filled
10-11 When the priests left the Holy Place, a cloud filled The Temple of God. The priests couldn’t carry out their priestly duties because of the cloud—the glory of God filled The Temple of God!
12-13 Then Solomon spoke:
God has told us that he lives in the dark
where no one can see him;
I’ve built this splendid Temple, O God,
to mark your invisible presence forever.
1 Kings 8:11-13

11 And the priests could not perform their service(A) because of the cloud, for the glory(B) of the Lord filled his temple.
