2 Chronicles 6:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ “And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel. ⁸ But the Lord said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well because of what was in your heart; ⁹ only you will not be the one to build the house. For your son, who will be born to you, he will build a house for My name.’
