5
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel.
8
But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:
9
nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
