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 I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7. And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
8. But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;
9. nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
