1 Kings 8:16-19
16SinceH4480 the dayH3117 that I broughtH3318 forthH3318 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, I choseH977 noH3808 cityH5892 outH3318 of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 an houseH1004, that my nameH8034 might be there; but I choseH977 DavidH1732 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
17NowH1961 it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
18But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Whereas it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 that it was in thine heartH3824:
19neverthelessH3588 thou shalt notH3808 buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for my nameH8034.
