5
`From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel;
6
and I fix on Jerusalem for My name being there, and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.
7
`And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah God of Israel,
8
and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart,
9
but thou dost not build the house, for thy son who cometh forth out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name.
