Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house unto my name; because thou art a man of war, and blood hast thou shed. ⁴ Yet the Lord the God of Israel made choice of me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for of Judah had he made choice as ruler, and among the house of Judah, of the house of my father; and among the sons of my father had he pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel: ⁵ And of all my sons,—for the Lord hath given me many sons,—hath he made choice of Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. ⁶ And he hath said unto me, Solomon thy son it is that shall build my house and my courts; for I have made choice of him to be as a son unto me, and I will be indeed to him as a father.
