2 Chronicles 6:4-11

4And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who spake with his mouthH6310 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and hath with his handsH3027 fulfilled it, sayingH559, 5Since the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 forthH3318 my peopleH5971 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I choseH977 no cityH5892 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 in, that my nameH8034 might beH1961 there; neither choseH977 I any manH376 to beH1961 princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: 6but I have chosenH977 JerusalemH3389, that my nameH8034 might beH1961 there, and have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to beH1961 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 7Now it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 8But Jehovah saidH559 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Whereas it was in thy heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 that it was in thy heartH3824: 9nevertheless thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 out of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for my nameH8034. 10And Jehovah hath performed his wordH1697 that he spake; for I am risenH6965 up in the room of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as Jehovah promised, and have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 11And there have I setH7760 the arkH727, wherein is the covenantH1285 of Jehovah, which he madeH3772 with the children of IsraelH3478.
