1 Chronicles 28:2-3

2King David stood up and he said, ‘Listen to me, my people. I wanted to build a house where we could put the Lord's Covenant Box. It would be like a place for our God to rest his feet. I prepared the things that I would need to build a temple.

3But God said to me, “You are a fighter and you have killed many people in war. So you must not build a house to give honour to my name.”
