2 Chronicles 6:4-6

4He said, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David and has fulfilled it with His hands, saying,

5‘Since the day that I brought My people from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man for a leader over My people Israel;

6but 1I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I 2have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
