2 Tawarikh 7:12

7:12 the Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him: “I have answered ¹  your prayer and chosen this place to be my temple where sacrifices are to be made. ² 

2 Tawarikh 7:16

7:16 Now I have chosen and consecrated this temple by making it my permanent home; ³  I will be constantly present there. ⁴ 

[7:12]  ¹ tn Heb “I have heard.”

[7:12]  ² tn Heb “temple of sacrifice.” This means the Lord designated the temple as the place for making sacrifices, and this has been clarified in the translation.

[7:16]  ³ tn Heb “for my name to be there perpetually [or perhaps, “forever”].”

[7:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “and my eyes and my heart will be there all the days.”
