2 Chronicles 6:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “And it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a House to the Name of the LORD God of Israel.

⁸ “But the LORD said to David, my father, ‘Insofar as it was in your heart to build a House to My Name, you did well to be so minded.

⁹ ‘Notwithstanding, you shall not build the House. Rather, your son who shall come out of your loins, he shall build a House to My Name.’
