2 Chronicles 6:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Now it was in the heart of my father David
to build a temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.^(A)
8 However, Yahweh 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.”
