9 Na arca nenhuma coisa havia mais das duas tábuas de pedra que havia ali posto Moisés em Horebe, de onde o SENHOR fez a aliança com os filhos de Israel, quando saíram da terra do Egito.

10 E quando os sacerdotes saíram do santuário, a nuvem encheu a casa do SENHOR.

11 E os sacerdotes não puderam estar para ministrar por causa da nuvem; porque a glória do SENHOR havia enchido a casa do SENHOR.

12 Então disse Salomão: o SENHOR disse que ele habitaria na escuridão.

13 Eu edifiquei casa por morada para ti, assento em que tu habites para sempre.
