7
And whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel,
8
The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will:
9
But thou shalt not build the house, but thy son, who shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
10
The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
11
And I have put in it the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the children of Israel.
