2 Chronicles 6:4-6

Common English Bible

Bless the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke directly to my father David and now has kept his promise: ⁵ “From the day I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I haven’t selected a city from any Israelite tribe as a site for the building of a temple for my name. Neither have I chosen anyone as prince over my people Israel. ⁶ But now I have chosen Jerusalem as a place for my name, and David as prince over my people Israel.”
