1 Chronicles 28:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible

So I had made preparations to build it. 3 But God said to me, ‘(C)You shall not build a house for My name because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’ 4 Yet, Yahweh, the God of Israel, (D)chose me from all the house of my father to be king over Israel (E)forever. For (F)He has chosen Judah to be a ruler; and (G)in the house of Judah, my father’s house, and among the sons of my father He took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
