It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled Yahweh’s house, so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house. Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
At Solomon's dedication the glory-cloud fills the house so the LORD dwells in it; Solomon builds a house for God to inhabit forever. Paul's claim that God's Spirit dwells in the temple-community figurally re-applies the indwelling glory of the Jerusalem temple. The temple-as-dwelling-of-God theology supplies coherent background.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Growing into a holy temple... a habitation of God' evokes the glory filling Solomon's temple as God's dwelling place. The temple-as-divine-residence motif coheres directly with believers as God's new dwelling by the Spirit.
