9. There was nothing in the Aron except the two Luchot HaAvanim (Tablets of Stone), which Moshe placed there at Chorev, when Hashem cut a Brit with the Bnei Yisroel, when they came out of Eretz Mitzrayim.
10. And it came to pass, when the Kohanim were come out of the Kodesh, that the anan filled the Beis Hashem,
11. So that the Kohanim could not stand up to minister because of the anan; for the Kavod Hashem had filled the Beis Hashem.
12. Then spoke Sh'lomo, Hashem said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.
13. I have surely built Thee a Beis of habitation, a Makhon for Thee to abide olamim.
14. And HaMelech turned his face about, and made a berakhah upon Kol Kehal Yisroel; (and Kol Kehal Yisroel were standing);
15. And he said, Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel, which spoke with His mouth unto Dovid Avi, and hath with His yad fulfilled it, saying,
16. Since the yom that I brought forth My people Yisroel out of Mitzrayim, I chose no ir out of all the Shivtei Yisroel to build a Beis, that Shemi might be therein; but I chose Dovid to be over My people Yisroel.
17. It was in the levav Dovid Avi to build Bayit for Shem Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
18. And Hashem said unto Dovid Avi, Whereas it was in thine lev to build a Beis unto Shemi, thou didst well that it was in thine lev.
19. Nevertheless thou shalt not build the Bayit; but thy ben that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the Bayit unto Shemi.
20. And Hashem hath fulfilled His Davar that He spoke, and I am risen up in the place of Dovid Avi, and sit on the Kisse Yisroel, just as Hashem promised, and have built Bayit for the Shem Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
