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)

New International Version
2 King David rose to his feet and said: “Listen to me, my fellow Israelites, my people. I had it in my heart(A) to build a house as a place of rest(B) for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, for the footstool(C) of our God, and I made plans to build it.(D) 3 But God said to me,(E) ‘You are not to build a house for my Name,(F) because you are a warrior and have shed blood.’(G)
4 “Yet the Lord, the God of Israel, chose me(H) from my whole family(I) to be king over Israel forever. He chose Judah(J) as leader, and from the tribe of Judah he chose my family, and from my father’s sons he was pleased to make me king over all Israel.(K)
