1 Kings 8:16-19
16‘SinceH4480 the dayH3117 I brought My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, I have notH3808 chosenH977 a cityH5892 from anyH3605 tribeH7626 of IsraelH3478 in which to buildH1129 a houseH1004 so that My NameH8034 would beH1961 thereH8033. But I have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to beH1961 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’
17Now it wasH1961 inH5973 the heartH3824 of my fatherH1 DavidH1732 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the NameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 18But the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 my fatherH1 DavidH1732, ‘SinceH3282 it wasH1961 inH5973 your heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for My NameH8034, you have done wellH2895H3588 to have thisH1961 inH5973 your heartH3824. 19NeverthelessH7535, youH859 are notH3808 the one to build itH1129H1004; butH3588H518 your sonH1121, your own offspringH3318H2504H1931, will buildH1129 the houseH1004 for My NameH8034.’
