1 Chronicles 28:2-3

2King David rose to his feet and said: “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I wanted to build a temple where the ark of the Lord’s covenant could be placed as a footstool for our God. I have made the preparations for building it.

3But God said to me, ‘You must not build a temple to honor me, for you are a warrior and have spilled blood.’
