2 Chronicles 6:1-16
Lord <03068> [The Lord.]
built <01129> [I have built.]
turned around <05437 06440> [turned his face.]

<03027> [who hath with.]
day <03117> [Since the day.]
live <08034> [my name.]
chosen ..................... choose <0977> [neither chose.]
The judges and Saul were chosen by God, for a season, to be rulers of Israel; but not to establish a permanent and hereditary authority over that people, as was the case with David. This clause is wanting in the parallel passage of Kings; but it helps to clear the sense.
chosen Jerusalem .......... chosen <0977 03389> [But I have chosen Jerusalem.]
This clause is also not found in Kings. Jerusalem was expressly marked out, by the building of the temple, to be the centre of the worship of Israel; as Jehovah had before spoken by Moses: see the parallel passages.
chosen ........... chosen David <01732 0977> [chosen David.]

Lord ........................ Lord ............. Lord <03068> [as the Lord.]
set ......... ark <0727 07760> [I put the ark.]
covenant <01285> [the covenant.]
As "there was nothing in the ark but the two tables of stone," consequently they are called the covenant, i.e., a sign of the covenant.
