Context — Solomon Blesses the LORD

8But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart. 9Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’

10Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

11And there I have placed the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with the children of Israel.” 12Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.

2 Chronicles 6:10 Summary

This verse is saying that God kept His promise to King David by allowing his son Solomon to become king and build a special house, or temple, for God's Name. Just like God kept His promise to David, He also keeps His promises to us, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. We can trust that God will fulfill His promises in our lives, just like He did for Solomon, and we can build a 'house' for God's Name in our own lives by honoring Him and worshiping Him, as seen in John 4:23-24.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke?

This refers to the promise God made to King David, as seen in Second Samuel 7:12-13, where God says that David's son will build a house for His Name, and now that promise has been fulfilled through Solomon, as stated in Second Chronicles 6:10.

Why did God choose Solomon to build the house for His Name instead of David?

According to Second Chronicles 6:8-9, God said to David that he was not the one to build the house, but his son would, because it was in David's heart to build a house for God's Name, and God was pleased with that desire, as seen in First Chronicles 28:2-3.

What is the significance of the house that Solomon built for the Name of the LORD?

The house, or temple, that Solomon built was a place for the Israelites to worship and honor God, as seen in Deuteronomy 12:10-11, and it was also a place where the ark of the covenant, which contained the covenant between God and the Israelites, would be kept, as mentioned in Second Chronicles 6:11.

How does this verse relate to the larger story of God's covenant with Israel?

This verse is a fulfillment of God's promise to David, which is part of the larger story of God's covenant with Israel, as seen in Exodus 19:5-6, where God says that the Israelites will be His special treasure and a kingdom of priests, and this covenant is reiterated in Second Chronicles 7:14, where God says that if the Israelites will humble themselves and pray, He will hear from heaven and forgive their sins.
