10. The priests left the Holy Room. Then the cloud filled the temple of the Lord.

11. The priests couldn't do their work because of it. That's because the glory of the Lord filled his temple.

12. Then Solomon said, "Lord, you have said you would live in a dark cloud.

13. As you can see, I've built a beautiful temple for you. You can live in it forever."

14. The whole community of Israel was standing there. The king turned around and gave them his blessing.
