1 Chronicles 28:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And King David stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear ye me, my brethren and my people: I purposed to have built an house of [a]rest for the Ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for a (A)footstool of our God, and have made ready for the building,
3 But God said unto me, (B)Thou shalt not build an house for my Name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.
4 Yet as the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father, to be King over Israel forever (for in Judah would he choose a prince, and of the house of [b]Judah is the house of my father, and among the sons of my father he delighted in me to make me king over all Israel)
