1Kgs.7.23

The Sea was three inches thick and flared at the rim like a cup, or like a lily. It held about 11,500 gallons.

1Kgs.7.23

He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.

1Kgs.7.23

And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

1Kgs.7.23

Then Huram cast a large round tank, 15 feet across from rim to rim; it was called the Sea. It was 7 1/2 feet deep and about 45 feet in circumference.

1Kgs.7.24

Hiram also made ten washstands of bronze. Each was six feet square and four and a half feet tall.

1Kgs.7.24

Below the rim, gourds encircled it-ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.

1Kgs.7.24

Below its brim were ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The ornamental buds were cast in two rows when it was cast.

1Kgs.7.24

The Sea was encircled just below its rim by two rows of decorative gourds. There were about six gourds per foot all the way around, and they had been cast as part of the tank.

1Kgs.7.25

They were made like this: Panels were fastened to the uprights.

1Kgs.7.25

The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center.

1Kgs.7.25

It stood on twelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward.

1Kgs.7.25

The Sea rested on a base of twelve bronze oxen, all facing outward. Three faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east.

1Kgs.7.26

Lions, bulls, and cherubim were represented on the panels and uprights. Beveled wreath-work bordered the lions and bulls above and below.

1Kgs.7.26

It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.

1Kgs.7.26

It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained two thousand baths.

1Kgs.7.26

The walls of the Sea were about three inches thick, and its rim flared out like a cup and resembled a lily blossom. It could hold about 11,000 gallons of water.

1Kgs.7.27

Each stand was mounted on four bronze wheels with bronze axles. The uprights were cast with decorative relief work.

1Kgs.7.27

He also made ten movable stands of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.

1Kgs.7.27

He also made ten carts of bronze; four cubits was the length of each cart, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.

1Kgs.7.27

Huram also made ten bronze water carts, each 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4 1/2 feet tall.

1Kgs.7.28

Each stand held a basin on a circular engraved support a foot and a half deep set on a pedestal two and a quarter feet square. The washstand itself was square.

1Kgs.7.28

This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights.

1Kgs.7.28

And this was the design of the carts: They had panels, and the panels were between frames;

1Kgs.7.28

They were constructed with side panels braced with crossbars.

1Kgs.7.29

The axles were attached under the stand and the wheels fixed to them. The wheels were twenty-seven inches in diameter;

1Kgs.7.29

On the panels between the uprights were lions, bulls and cherubim-and on the uprights as well. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths of hammered work.

1Kgs.7.29

on the panels that were between the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. And on the frames was a pedestal on top. Below the lions and oxen were wreaths of plaited work.

1Kgs.7.29

Both the panels and the crossbars were decorated with carved lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreath decorations.

1Kgs.7.30

they were designed like chariot wheels. Everything--axles, rims, spokes, and hubs--was of cast metal.

1Kgs.7.30

Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and each had a basin resting on four supports, cast with wreaths on each side.

1Kgs.7.30

Every cart had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze, and its four feet had supports. Under the laver were supports of cast bronze beside each wreath.

1Kgs.7.30

Each of these carts had four bronze wheels and bronze axles. At each corner of the carts were supporting posts for the bronze basins; these supports were decorated with carvings of wreaths on each side.

1Kgs.7.31

There was a handle at the four corners of each washstand, the handles cast in one piece with the stand.

1Kgs.7.31

On the inside of the stand there was an opening that had a circular frame one cubit deep. This opening was round, and with its basework it measured a cubit and a half. Around its opening there was engraving. The panels of the stands were square, not round.

1Kgs.7.31

Its opening inside the crown at the top was one cubit in diameter; and the opening was round, shaped like a pedestal, one and a half cubits in outside diameter; and also on the opening were engravings, but the panels were square, not round.

1Kgs.7.31

The top of each cart had a circular frame for the basin. It projected 1 1/2 feet above the cart's top like a round pedestal, and its opening was 2 1/4 feet across; it was decorated on the outside with carvings of wreaths. The panels of the carts were square, not round.

1Kgs.7.32

At the top of the washstand there was a ring about nine inches deep. The uprights and handles were cast with the stand.

1Kgs.7.32

The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. The diameter of each wheel was a cubit and a half.

1Kgs.7.32

Under the panels were the four wheels, and the axles of the wheels were joined to the cart. The height of a wheel was one and a half cubits.

1Kgs.7.32

Under the panels were four wheels that were connected to axles that had been cast as one unit with the cart. The wheels were 2 1/4 feet in diameter

1Kgs.7.33

Everything and every available surface was engraved with cherubim, lions, and palm trees, bordered by arabesques.

1Kgs.7.33

The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.

1Kgs.7.33

The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel; their axle pins, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all of cast bronze.

1Kgs.7.33

and were similar to chariot wheels. The axles, spokes, rims, and hubs were all cast from molten bronze.

1Kgs.7.34

The washstands were identical, all cast in the same mold.

1Kgs.7.34

Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand.

1Kgs.7.34

And there were four supports at the four corners of each cart; its supports were part of the cart itself.

1Kgs.7.34

There were supports at each of the four corners of the carts, and these, too, were cast as one unit with the cart.

1Kgs.7.35

He also made ten bronze washbasins, each six feet in diameter with a capacity of 230 gallons, one basin for each of the ten washstands.

1Kgs.7.35

At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand.

1Kgs.7.35

On the top of the cart, at the height of half a cubit, it was perfectly round. And on the top of the cart, its flanges and its panels were of the same casting.

1Kgs.7.35

Around the top of each cart there was a rim 9 inches wide. The supports and side panels were cast as one unit with the cart.

1Kgs.7.36

He arranged five stands on the south side of The Temple and five on the north. The Sea was placed at the southeast corner of The Temple.

1Kgs.7.36

He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around.

1Kgs.7.36

On the plates of its flanges and on its panels he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, wherever there was a clear space on each, with wreaths all around.

1Kgs.7.36

Carvings of cherubim, lions, and palm trees decorated the panels and supports wherever there was room, and there were wreaths all around.

1Kgs.7.37

Hiram then fashioned the various utensils: buckets and shovels and bowls. Hiram completed all the work he set out to do for King Solomon on The Temple of GOD:

1Kgs.7.37

This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same molds and were identical in size and shape.

1Kgs.7.37

Thus he made the ten carts. All of them were of the same mold, one measure, and one shape.

1Kgs.7.37

All ten water carts were the same size and were made alike, for each was cast from the same mold.

1Kgs.7.38

two pillars; two capitals on top of the pillars; two decorative filigrees for the capitals;

1Kgs.7.38

He then made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands.

1Kgs.7.38

Then he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver contained forty baths, and each laver was four cubits. On each of the ten carts was a laver.

1Kgs.7.38

Huram also made ten bronze basins, one for each cart. Each basin was 6 feet across and could hold 220 gallons of water.

1Kgs.7.39

four hundred pomegranates for the two filigrees (a double row of pomegranates for each filigree);

1Kgs.7.39

He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple.

1Kgs.7.39

And he put five carts on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. He set the Sea on the right side of the house, toward the southeast.

1Kgs.7.39

He arranged five water carts on the south side of the Temple and five on the north side. The Sea was placed at the southeast corner of the Temple.

1Kgs.7.40

ten washstands each with its washbasin; one Sea;

1Kgs.7.40

He also made the basins and shovels and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the LORD:

1Kgs.7.40

Huram made the lavers and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of the LORD:

1Kgs.7.40

He also made the necessary pots, shovels, and basins. So at last Huram completed everything King Solomon had assigned him to make for the Temple of the LORD:

1Kgs.7.41

twelve bulls under the Sea;

1Kgs.7.41

the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

1Kgs.7.41

the two pillars, the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars;

1Kgs.7.41

two pillars, two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars, two networks of chains that decorated the capitals,

1Kgs.7.42

miscellaneous buckets, shovels, and bowls. All these artifacts that Hiram made for King Solomon for The Temple of GOD were of burnished bronze.

1Kgs.7.42

the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);

1Kgs.7.42

four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the pillars);

1Kgs.7.42

four hundred pomegranates that hung from the chains on the capitals (two rows of pomegranates for each of the chain networks that were hung around the capitals on top of the pillars),

1Kgs.7.43

He cast them in clay in a foundry on the Jordan plain between Succoth and Zarethan.

1Kgs.7.43

the ten stands with their ten basins;

1Kgs.7.43

the ten carts, and ten lavers on the carts;

1Kgs.7.43

the ten water carts holding the ten basins,

1Kgs.7.44

These artifacts were never weighed--there were far too many! Nobody has any idea how much bronze was used.

1Kgs.7.44

the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

1Kgs.7.44

one Sea, and twelve oxen under the Sea;

1Kgs.7.44

the Sea and the twelve oxen under it,

1Kgs.7.45

Solomon was also responsible for all the furniture and accessories in The Temple of GOD: the gold Altar; the gold Table that held the Bread of the Presence;

1Kgs.7.45

the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls. All these objects that Huram made for King Solomon for the temple of the LORD were of burnished bronze.

1Kgs.7.45

the pots, the shovels, and the bowls. All these articles which Huram made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of burnished bronze.

1Kgs.7.45

the pots, the shovels, and the basins. All these utensils for the Temple of the LORD that Huram made for Solomon were made of burnished bronze.

1Kgs.7.46

the pure gold candelabras, five to the right and five to the left in front of the Inner Sanctuary; the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;

1Kgs.7.46

The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.

1Kgs.7.46

In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between Succoth and Zaretan.

1Kgs.7.46

The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zarethan.

1Kgs.7.47

the pure gold dishes, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers; the gold sockets for the doors of the Inner Sanctuary, the Holy of Holies, used also for the doors of the Main Sanctuary.

1Kgs.7.47

Solomon left all these things unweighed, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not determined.

1Kgs.7.47

And Solomon did not weigh all the articles, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not determined.

1Kgs.7.47

Solomon did not weigh all the utensils because there were so many; the weight of the bronze could not be measured.

1Kgs.7.48

That completed all the work King Solomon did on The Temple of GOD. He then brought in the items consecrated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the artifacts. He placed them all in the treasury of GOD's Temple. [JC]

1Kgs.7.48

Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in the LORD's temple: the golden altar; the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;

1Kgs.7.48

Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the showbread;

1Kgs.7.48

So Solomon made all the furnishings of the Temple of the LORD: the gold altar, the gold table for the Bread of the Presence,

1Kgs.7.49

1Kgs.7.49

the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary); the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;

1Kgs.7.49

the lampstands of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left in front of the inner sanctuary, with the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold;

1Kgs.7.49

the gold lampstands, five on the south and five on the north, in front of the Most Holy Place, the flower decorations, lamps, and tongs, all of gold,

1Kgs.7.50

1Kgs.7.50

the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

1Kgs.7.50

the basins, the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner room (the Most Holy Place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

1Kgs.7.50

the cups, lamp snuffers, basins, dishes, and firepans, all of pure gold, the doors for the entrances to the Most Holy Place and the main room of the Temple, with their fronts overlaid with gold.

1Kgs.7.51

1Kgs.7.51

When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the LORD was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated-the silver and gold and the furnishings-and he placed them in the treasuries of the LORD's temple.

1Kgs.7.51

So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

1Kgs.7.51

So King Solomon finished all his work on the Temple of the LORD. Then Solomon brought all the gifts his father, David, had dedicated--the silver, the gold, and the other utensils--and he stored them in the treasuries of the LORD's Temple.

1Kgs.8.1

Bringing all this to a climax, King Solomon called in the leaders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the family patriarchs, to bring up the Chest of the Covenant of GOD from Zion, the City of David.

1Kgs.8.1

Then King Solomon summoned into his presence at Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark of the LORD's covenant from Zion, the City of David.

1Kgs.8.1

Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the City of David, which is Zion.

1Kgs.8.1

Solomon then summoned the leaders of all the tribes and families of Israel to assemble in Jerusalem. They were to bring the Ark of the LORD's covenant from its location in the City of David, also known as Zion, to its new place in the Temple.

1Kgs.8.2

And they came, all Israel before King Solomon in the month of Ethanim, the seventh month, for the great autumn festival.

1Kgs.8.2

All the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the time of the festival in the month of Ethanim, the seventh month.

1Kgs.8.2

Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with King Solomon at the feast in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

1Kgs.8.2

They all assembled before the king at the annual Festival of Shelters in early autumn.

1Kgs.8.3

With all Israel's leaders present, the priests took up the Chest of GOD

1Kgs.8.3

When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,

1Kgs.8.3

So all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

1Kgs.8.3

When all the leaders of Israel arrived, the priests picked up the Ark.

1Kgs.8.4

and carried up the Chest and the Tent of Meeting and all the holy vessels that went with the Tent.

1Kgs.8.4

and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting and all the sacred furnishings in it. The priests and Levites carried them up,

1Kgs.8.4

Then they brought up the ark of the LORD, the tabernacle of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tabernacle. The priests and the Levites brought them up.

1Kgs.8.4

Then the priests and Levites took the Ark of the LORD, along with the Tabernacle and all its sacred utensils, and carried them up to the Temple.

1Kgs.8.5

King Solomon and the entire congregation of Israel were there at the Chest worshiping and sacrificing huge numbers of sheep and cattle--so many that no one could keep track.

1Kgs.8.5

and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.

1Kgs.8.5

Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

1Kgs.8.5

King Solomon and the entire community of Israel sacrificed sheep and oxen before the Ark in such numbers that no one could keep count!

1Kgs.8.6

Then the priests brought the Chest of the Covenant of GOD to its place in the Inner Sanctuary, the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.

1Kgs.8.6

The priests then brought the ark of the LORD's covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim.

1Kgs.8.6

Then the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the temple, to the Most Holy Place, under the wings of the cherubim.

1Kgs.8.6

Then the priests carried the Ark of the LORD's covenant into the inner sanctuary of the Temple--the Most Holy Place--and placed it beneath the wings of the cherubim.

1Kgs.8.7

The outspread wings of the cherubim stretched over the Chest and its poles.

1Kgs.8.7

The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its carrying poles.

1Kgs.8.7

For the cherubim spread their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

1Kgs.8.7

The cherubim spread their wings over the Ark, forming a canopy over the Ark and its carrying poles.

1Kgs.8.8

The poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the entrance to the Inner Sanctuary, but were not noticeable farther out. They're still there today.

1Kgs.8.8

These poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today.

1Kgs.8.8

The poles extended so that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

1Kgs.8.8

These poles were so long that their ends could be seen from the front entrance of the Temple's main room--the Holy Place--but not from outside it. They are still there to this day.

1Kgs.8.9

There was nothing in the Chest but the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb where GOD made a covenant with Israel after bringing them up from Egypt.

1Kgs.8.9

There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.

1Kgs.8.9

Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

1Kgs.8.9

Nothing was in the Ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed there at Mount Sinai, where the LORD made a covenant with the people of Israel as they were leaving the land of Egypt.

1Kgs.8.10

When the priests left the Holy Place, a cloud filled The Temple of GOD.

1Kgs.8.10

When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD.

1Kgs.8.10

And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

1Kgs.8.10

As the priests came out of the inner sanctuary, a cloud filled the Temple of the LORD.

1Kgs.8.11

The priests couldn't carry out their priestly duties because of the cloud--the glory of GOD filled The Temple of GOD!

1Kgs.8.11

And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple.

1Kgs.8.11

so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

1Kgs.8.11

The priests could not continue their work because the glorious presence of the LORD filled the Temple.

1Kgs.8.12

Then Solomon spoke: GOD has told us that he lives in the dark where no one can see him;

1Kgs.8.12

Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud;

1Kgs.8.12

Then Solomon spoke: "The LORD said He would dwell in the dark cloud.

1Kgs.8.12

Then Solomon prayed, "O LORD, you have said that you would live in thick darkness.

1Kgs.8.13

I've built this splendid Temple, O God, to mark your invisible presence forever.

1Kgs.8.13

I have indeed built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever."

1Kgs.8.13

I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever."

1Kgs.8.13

But I have built a glorious Temple for you, where you can live forever!"

1Kgs.8.14

The king then turned to face the congregation and blessed them:

1Kgs.8.14

While the whole assembly of Israel was standing there, the king turned around and blessed them.

1Kgs.8.14

Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

1Kgs.8.14

Then the king turned around to the entire community of Israel standing before him and gave this blessing:

1Kgs.8.15

"Blessed be GOD, the God of Israel, who spoke personally to my father David. Now he has kept the promise he made when he said,

1Kgs.8.15

Then he said: "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his own hand has fulfilled what he promised with his own mouth to my father David. For he said,

1Kgs.8.15

And he said: "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying,

1Kgs.8.15

"Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has kept the promise he made to my father, David.

1Kgs.8.16

"From the day I brought my people Israel from Egypt, I haven't set apart one city among the tribes of Israel to build a Temple to fix my Name there. But I did choose David to rule my people Israel.'

1Kgs.8.16

'Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built for my Name to be there, but I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.'

1Kgs.8.16

"Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.'

1Kgs.8.16

For he told my father, `From the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have never chosen a city among the tribes of Israel as the place where a temple should be built to honor my name. But now I have chosen David to be king over my people.'"

1Kgs.8.17

"My father David had it in his heart to build a Temple honoring the Name of GOD, the God of Israel.

1Kgs.8.17

"My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

1Kgs.8.17

Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

1Kgs.8.17

Then Solomon said, "My father, David, wanted to build this Temple to honor the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

1Kgs.8.18

But GOD told him "It was good that you wanted to build a Temple in my honor--most commendable!

1Kgs.8.18

But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a temple for my Name, you did well to have this in your heart.

1Kgs.8.18

But the LORD said to my father David, "Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

1Kgs.8.18

But the LORD told him, `It is right for you to want to build the Temple to honor my name,

1Kgs.8.19

But you are not the one to do it--your son will build it to honor my Name.'

1Kgs.8.19

Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, who is your own flesh and blood-he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.'

1Kgs.8.19

Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.'

1Kgs.8.19

but you are not the one to do it. One of your sons will build it instead.'

1Kgs.8.20
