2 Chronicles 6:13-15
International Standard Version
13 Solomon had a bronze platform constructed five cubits[a] square and three cubits[b] high. He had it erected in the middle of the courtyard, and stood on it. Then he knelt down on his knees in front of the entire congregation of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven, 14 and said:
“Lord God of Israel, there is no one like you, God of heaven and earth, who watches over[c] his covenant, showing gracious love to your servants who live their lives in your presence[d] with all their hearts. 15 It is you, Lord God,[e] who has kept your promise to my father, your servant David, that you made to him. Indeed, you made a commitment[f] to my father David and then personally fulfilled[g] what you had promised today.
