2 Chronicles 6:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ My father David had it in mind to build a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. ⁸ But the Lord said to my father David, ‘You did well to consider building a house for my name; ⁹ nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’
