2 Chronicles 6:9 In-Context

7 Now it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a house unto the name of the LORD God of Israel.

8 But the LORD said to David, my father, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart;

9 notwithstanding, thou shalt not build the house, but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house for my name.

10 The LORD, therefore, has performed his word that he has spoken, for I am risen up in the place of David, my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD had said, and have built the house unto the name of the LORD God of Israel.

11 And in it I have put the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD that he made with the sons of Israel.
