2 Chronicles 6:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ My father David wanted very much to build a temple to give honour to the Lord, Israel's God. ⁸ But the Lord said to my father David, “It was good that you wanted to build a temple to give me honour. ⁹ But you will not build the temple. Instead, one of your own sons will build it to give honour to me.”
