But I have chosen Jerusalem in order that my name may be there,[a] and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’(B) 17 My father David had it in mind to build a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.(C) 18 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘You did well to consider building a house for my name; 19 nevertheless, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’(D) 20 Now the Lord has fulfilled the promise that he made, for I have risen in the place of my father David; I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.(E)
