1 Kings 8:10-13
8:10 Once the priests left the holy place, a cloud filled the Lord’s temple.
8:11 The priests could not carry out their duties 1 because of the cloud; the Lord’s glory filled his temple. 2
8:12 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he lives in thick darkness.
8:13 O Lord, 3 truly I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.”
1 tn Heb “were not able to stand to serve.”
2 tn Heb “the house of the Lord.”
3 tn The words “O Lord” do not appear in the original text, but they are supplied for clarification; Solomon addresses the Lord in prayer at this point.
