1 Kings 8:16-19 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel. ¹⁷ And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. ¹⁸ And the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build an house to my name, you did well that it was in your heart. ¹⁹ Nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son that shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house to my name.
