Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication22Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven
23and said: “ LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.
24You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.
