2 Chronicles 6:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the Name and renown of the Lord, the God of Israel.

⁸ But the Lord said to David my father, Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name and renown, you did well that it was in your heart.

⁹ Yet you shall not build the house, but your son, who shall be born to you—he shall build the house for My Name.
