Contextual Overview
12 Then Solomon said: The Lord said that He would dwell in thick darkness. 13 I have indeed built an exalted temple for You, a place for Your dwelling forever. 14 The king turned around and blessed the entire congregation of Israel while they were standing. 15 He said: May the Lord God of Israel be praised! He spoke directly to my father David, and He has fulfilled the promise by His power. He said, 16 "Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city to build a temple in among any of the tribes of Israel, so that My name would be there. But I have chosen David to rule My people Israel." 17 It was in the desire of my father David to build a temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel. 18 But the Lord said to my father David, "Since it was your desire to build a temple for My name, you have done well to have this desire. 19 Yet you are not the one to build it; instead, your son, your own offspring, will build it for My name." 20 The Lord has fulfilled what He promised. I have taken the place of my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised. I have built the temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel. 21 I have provided a place there for the ark, where the Lord 's covenant is that He made with our ancestors when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord hath performed his word that he spake,.... To David, concerning his son's building the temple:
and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised; succeeded him in the kingdom:
and have built an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel; the temple he had now finished; and thus the promise to David was punctually fulfilled, that he should have a son that should succeed him in the throne, and build the house of the Lord.
