2 Chronicles 6:5

³  And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

⁴  And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

⁵  Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

⁶  But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

⁷  Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
