Kings III 8:24-29

²⁴which you have kept towards your servant David my father: for you have spoken by your mouth and you have fulfilled it with your hands, as at this day.

²⁵And now, O Lord God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father, the promises which you have spoken to him, saying, There shall not be taken from you a man sitting before me on the throne of Israel, provided only your children shall take heed to their ways, to walk before me as you have walked before me.

²⁶And now, O Lord God of Israel, let, I pray you, your word to David my father be confirmed.

²⁷But will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and heaven of heavens will not suffice you, how much less even this house which I have built to your name?

²⁸Yet, O Lord God of Israel, you shall look upon my petition, to hear the prayer which your servant prays to you in your presence this day,

²⁹that your eyes may be open towards this house day and night, even towards the place which you said, My name shall be there, to hear the prayer which your servant prays at this place day and night.
