1 Kings 8:19 In-Context

17 My father David wanted to build a temple for the name of the LORD, Israel's God.
18 "But the LORD said to my father David, ‘It is very good that you thought to build a temple for my name.
19 Nevertheless, you yourself won't build that temple. Instead, your very own son will build the temple for my name.'
20 The LORD has kept his promise—I have succeeded my father David on Israel's throne just as the LORD said, and I have built the temple for the name of the LORD, Israel's God.
21 There I've placed the chest that contains the covenant that the LORD made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt."
