2 Chronicles 6:5-11 From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.

LXX2012⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel. ⁶ But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel. ⁷ And it came into 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 my father David, Whereas it came into your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it came into your heart. ⁹ Nevertheless you shall not build the house; for your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name. ¹⁰ And the Lord has confirmed this word, which he spoke; and I am raised up in the room of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel: ¹¹ and I have set there the ark in which [is] the covenant of the Lord, which he made with Israel.
