Revised Version 1895
1 Kings 8:16-19
16Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
18But the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart:
19nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
