2 Chronicles 6:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ Now it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a house unto the name of the LORD God of Israel.

⁸ But the LORD said to David, my father, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart;

⁹ notwithstanding, thou shalt not build the house, but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house for my name.
