3 Le roi tourna son visage, et bénit toute l’assemblée d’Israël; et toute l’assemblée d’Israël était debout.

4 Et il dit: Béni soit l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, qui a parlé de sa bouche à David, mon père, et qui accomplit par sa puissance ce qu’il avait déclaré en disant:

5 Depuis le jour où j’ai fait sortir mon peuple du pays d’Égypte, je n’ai point choisi de ville parmi toutes les tribus d’Israël pour qu’il y fût bâti une maison où résidât mon nom, et je n’ai point choisi d’homme pour qu’il fût chef de mon peuple d’Israël;

6 mais j’ai choisi Jérusalem pour que mon nom y résidât, et j’ai choisi David pour qu’il régnât sur mon peuple d’Israël!

7 David, mon père, avait l’intention de bâtir une maison au nom de l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël.
