2 Chronicles 6:5-11 From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built in it to my name: neither chose I any other man, to be the ruler of my people Israel.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ From the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built in it to my name: neither chose I any other man, to be the ruler of my people Israel. ⁶ But I chose Jerusalem, that my name might be there: and I chose David to set him over my people Israel. ⁷ And whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel, ⁸ The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will: ⁹ But thou shalt not build the house, but thy son, who shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name. ¹⁰ The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel. ¹¹ And I have put in it the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the children of Israel.
