2 Chronicles 6:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ It was on my father David’s heart to build a house for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. ⁸ However, the Lord said to my father David, “That it was on your heart to build a house for my Name was a good thing to have on your heart, ⁹ but you will not build the house. Your son, who will come from your own body, will build the house for my Name.”
