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 a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
8 But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:
9 nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
