דברי הימים ב, פרק ו׳, פסוק י״ז

Solomon presents an earnest prayer asking for the realization and verification of a divine promise [מצודת ציון, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. He seeks confirmation that the commitment made to his father, David, will now become a reality. This plea for God's word to be established is not merely an abstract hope. Rather, it is a direct request for practical proof. Solomon asks God to perform a clear, visible action that will openly testify and confirm that the physical structure he has just built is genuinely worthy of being called the House of God [מצודת דוד].
