1 Kings 8:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ But you are not the one to build my temple. Your son will build my temple.’

²⁰ “So the Lord has kept his promises. I am the king now in place of my father David. I rule the people of Israel as the Lord promised. And I have built the Temple for the Lord, the God of Israel. ²¹ I have made a place in the Temple for the Holy Box. Inside that Holy Box is the agreement that the Lord made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt.”
