3Then the kingH4428 turnedH5437H6440 aroundH5437 and blessedH1288 allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, while allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 was standingH5975. 4He saidH559, “BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, whoH834 spokeH1696 with His mouthH6310 to my fatherH1 DavidH1732, and fulfilledH4390 it with His handsH3027, sayingH559, 5‘SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 My peopleH5971 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I did not chooseH977 a cityH5892 out of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 in which to buildH1129 a houseH1004, so that My nameH8034 might be thereH8033, norH3808 did I chooseH977 a manH376 to be the leaderH5057 overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; 6but 1I have chosenH977 JerusalemH3389 so that My nameH8034 might be thereH8033, and I 2have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to be overH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’ 73Now it was 4in the heartH3824 of my fatherH1 DavidH1732 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 8But the LordH3068 saidH559 to my fatherH1 DavidH1732, ‘BecauseH3282H834 it was 5in your heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for My nameH8034, you didH2895 wellH2895 that it was 6in your heartH3824. 9NeverthelessH7534 you shall not buildH1129 the houseH1004, but your sonH1121 who 7will be bornH3318H2504 to you, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for My nameH8034.’ 10Now the LordH3068 has fulfilledH6965 His wordH1697 whichH834 He spokeH1696; for I have risenH6965 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 my fatherH1 DavidH1732 and sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as the LordH3068 8promisedH1696, and have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 11ThereH8033 I have placedH7760 the arkH727 9in whichH834 is the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068, whichH834 He madeH3772 with the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.”
