5. Since the day that I brought forth my people from the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler 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 the LORD God of Israel:
8. But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart;
9. Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
