2 Chronicles 6:7-11

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.”
¹⁰ So Yahweh has fulfilled what He promised.
I have taken the place of my father David
and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised.
I have built the temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
¹¹ I have put the ark there,
where Yahweh’s covenant is
that He made with the Israelites.^(B)
