Melachim Alef 8:15-17

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁵ And he said, Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel, which spoke with His mouth unto Dovid Avi, and hath with His yad fulfilled it, saying,

¹⁶ Since the yom that I brought forth My people Yisroel out of Mitzrayim, I chose no ir out of all the Shivtei Yisroel to build a Beis, that Shemi might be therein; but I chose Dovid to be over My people Yisroel.

¹⁷ It was in the levav Dovid Avi to build Bayit for Shem Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
