Context of 2 Chronicles 6:4

2but I have built an exalted temple for you, a place for your dwelling forever. 3Then the king turned and blessed the entire congregation of Israel while they were standing. He said: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel! He spoke directly to my father David, and he has fulfilled the promise by his power. He said, 5“Since the day I brought my people Israel out of the land 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, and I have not chosen a man to be ruler over my people Israel. 6But I have chosen Jerusalem so that my name will be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.”
