Chronicles II 6:7 In-Context

5 From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.

6 But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.

7 And it came into the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

8 But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it came into thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it came into thy heart.

9 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; for thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
