1 Kings 8:16-19 From the day that I brought out My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any one tribe of Israel to build a house, so that My name should be there, but I chose Jerusalem that My name should be there, and I chose David to be over My people Israel.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ From the day that I brought out My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any one tribe of Israel to build a house, so that My name should be there, but I chose Jerusalem that My name should be there, and I chose David to be over My people Israel. ¹⁷ And it was in the heart of my father to build a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel. ¹⁸ And the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it came into your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it came upon your heart. ¹⁹ Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son that has proceeded out of your bowels, he shall build the house for My name.
