KJV - 1 Kings 8:20

And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

The Lord fulfilled His promise and I now rule in place of my father David. I sit on Israel's throne just as the Lord said He would happen. Also, I constructed a house honoring the Lord God of Israel.
