5
"Since the day I brought My people Israel out of the land 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, and I have not chosen a man to be ruler over My people Israel.
6
But I have chosen Jerusalem so that My name will be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel."
7
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
8
However, 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.
9
Yet, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own offspring, will build the temple for My name."
