2 Chronicles 6:13-15
Living Bible
12-13 As he spoke, Solomon was standing before the people on a platform in the center of the outer court, in front of the altar of the Lord. The platform was made of bronze, 7-1/2 feet square and 4-1/2 feet high. Now, as all the people watched, he knelt down, reached out his arms toward heaven, and prayed this prayer:
14 “O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in all of heaven and earth. You are the God who keeps his kind promises to all those who obey you and who are anxious to do your will. 15 And you have kept your promise to my father David,[a] as is evident today.

13 Now he had made a bronze platform,(A) five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,[a] and had placed it in the center of the outer court. He stood on the platform and then knelt down(B) before the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven. 14 He said:
“Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you(C) in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love(D) with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way. 15 You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised(E) and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.
