2 Chronicles 6:5-11

Great(i) 5 sence the daye that I brought my people out of the lande of Egypt, I chose no cytie amonge all the trybes of Israel to buylde an house in, that my name myght be there, nether chose I any man to be a ruler ouer my people Israel: 6 sauynge that I haue chosen Ierusalem, that my name myght be there, and haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel. 7 And whan it was in the herte of Dauid my father to buylde an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel: 8 the Lord sayd to Dauid my father: for as moch as it was in thyne herte to buylde an house for my name, thou dydest well that thou so thoughtest in thyne hert. 9 Notwithstandynge, thou shalt not buylde the house, but thy sonne which is proceaded out of thy loynes, he shall builde an house for my name. 10 The Lorde therfore, hath made good his sayinge that he hath spoken, and I am rysen vp in the rowme of Dauid my father, and am set on the seate of Israel, as the Lord promysed, and haue buylt an house for the name of the Lorde God of Israel. 11 And in it haue I put the Arcke, wherin is the couenaunt of the Lorde that he made with the children of Israel.
