1 Kings 8:14-16

Tree of Life Version

¹⁴ Then the king turned his face about and blessed the whole congregation of Israel while the whole congregation of Israel was standing. ¹⁵ He said: “Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and has fulfilled it by His hand, saying: ¹⁶ ‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out from Egypt, I have not chosen a city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a House where My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
