2 Chronicles 6:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ My father David had his heart set
on building a temple for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.^(A)
8 However, the Lord said to my father David,
“Since it was your desire to build a temple for my name,
you have done well to have this desire.
⁹ Yet, you are not the one to build the temple,
but your son, your own offspring,
will build the temple for my name.”
