5
`Since the day that I brought forth My people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that My name might be there, neither chose I any man to be a ruler over My people Israel;
6
but I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name might be there, and have chosen David to be over My people Israel.'
7
Now it was in 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 David my father: `Inasmuch as it was in thine heart to build a house for My name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart.
9
Notwithstanding, thou shalt not build the house; but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for My name.'
