³ “You know that because of the wars^(A) waged against my father David from all sides, he could not build^(B) a temple for the Name of the Lord his God until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.^{(C) 4} But now the Lord my God has given me rest^(D) on every side, and there is no adversary^(E) or disaster. ⁵ I intend, therefore, to build a temple^(F) for the Name of the Lord my God, as the Lord told my father David, when he said, ‘Your son whom I will put on the throne in your place will build the temple for my Name.’^(G)

¹⁸ But the Lord said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name. ¹⁹ Nevertheless, you^(A) are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’^(B)

⁴ Now I am about to build a temple^(A) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense^(B) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread^(C) regularly, and for making burnt offerings^(D) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,^(E) at the New Moons^(F) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.

⁷ “My father David had it in his heart^(A) to build a temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. ⁸ But the Lord said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name. ⁹ Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’
