1 Kings 8:17-19

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ My father David had his heart set
on building a temple for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.^(A)
18 But the Lord said to my father David,
“Since your heart was set on building a temple for my name,
you have done well to have this desire.^[a](B)
19 Yet you are not the one to build it;
instead, your son, your own offspring,
will build it for my name.”^(C)
