2 Chronicles 6

שׁלמה (Solomon) blesses the assembly, acknowledges YHWH's presence in the Temple he built, and offers an extensive dedicatory prayer invoking YHWH to hear from heaven prayers directed toward the Temple in scenarios of oaths, defeat by enemies, drought, famine, plague, captivity, and foreign supplications, forgiving sins upon repentance and maintaining justice[1][2][6].

and-has-fulfilled YHWH [direct object marker] his word that he spoke and-I-have-arisen in place of David my father and-I-sit on the throne Israel as he spoke YHWH and-I-have-built the house for the name of YHWH God of Israel
For had made Solomon platform of bronze and had set it in the midst of the court five cubits its length and five cubits its width cubits three its height and he stood on it and he blessed on his knees before all the assembly of Israel and he spread out his hands toward heaven
