16
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
18
But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:
19
nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
