Divrey Hayamim Bais 6:8 In-Context

6 But I chose Yerushalayim, that Shmi might be there; and chose Dovid to be over Ami Yisroel.
7 Now it was in the levav Dovid Avi to build a Bais for the Shem of Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
8 But Hashem said to Dovid Avi, Because it was in levavcha to build a Bais for Shmi, thou didst well in that it was in levavcha.
9 Nevertheless thou shalt not build HaBeis; but bincha (your Son) which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build HaBeis for Shmi.
10 Hashem therefore hath performed His Devar that He hath spoken; for I am risen up after Dovid Avi, and I sit on the kisse Yisroel, just as Hashem promised, and I built HaBeis for the Shem of Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
