20 L’Éternel a accompli la parole qu’il avait prononcée. Je me suis élevé à la place de David, mon père, et je me suis assis sur le trône d’Israël, comme l’avait annoncé l’Éternel, et j’ai bâti la maison au nom de l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël.

22 Salomon se plaça devant l’autel de l’Éternel, en face de toute l’assemblée d’Israël. Il étendit ses mains vers le ciel, et il dit:
23 O Éternel, Dieu d’Israël! Il n’y a point de Dieu semblable à toi, ni en haut dans les cieux, ni en bas sur la terre: tu gardes l’alliance et la miséricorde envers tes serviteurs qui marchent en ta présence de tout leur cœur!
