*
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in ,
that my name might be there ;
neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel Yisra #
el #:
*
But I have chosen Jerusalem ,
that my name might be there ;
and have chosen David to be over my people Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
But the LORD said to David my father ,
Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name ,
thou didst well in that it was in thine heart :
*
Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house ;
but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins ,
he shall build the house for my name .
*
The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken :
for I am risen up in the room of David my father ,
and am set on the throne of Israel Yisra #
el #,
as the LORD promised ,
and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And in it have I put the ark ,
wherein is the covenant of the LORD ,
that he made with the children of Israel Yisra #
el #.
