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 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, so that My name might be there, nor did I choose a man to be the leader over My people Israel;

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