2 Chronicles 6:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel,

⁸ The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will:

⁹ But thou shalt not build the house, but thy son, who shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
