1 Kings 8:18-20

Christian Standard Bible

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](A)
19 Yet you are not the one to build it;
instead, your son, your own offspring,
will build it for my name.”^(B)
20 The Lord has fulfilled what he promised.
I have taken the place of my father David,^(C)
and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised.^(D)
I have built the temple for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
