1 Kings 8:16-19

16“Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city to build a temple in among any of the tribes of Israel, so that my name would be there. But I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.”

17My father David had his heart set on building a temple for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

18But the Lord said to my father David, “Since your heart was set on building a temple for my name, you have done well to have this desire.

19Yet you are not the one to build it; instead, your son, your own offspring, will build it for my name.”
