8. But the Lord said to my father David, “You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name.
9. Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood – he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.”
10. ‘The Lord has kept the promise he made. I have succeeded David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised, and I have built the temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
11. There I have placed the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he made with the people of Israel.’
