19 (A)Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who [a]will be born to you, he will build the house for My name.’ 20 Now the Lord has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for (B)I have risen in place of my father David and I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord [b]promised, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 21 And there I have set a place for the ark, (C)in which is the covenant of the Lord, which He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

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)
20 “The Lord has kept the promise he made: I have succeeded(C) David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised, and I have built(D) the temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 21 I have provided a place there for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt.”
