1 Kings 8:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ Nevertheless, you are not to build the Temple, but your son who will be born^[a] to you is to build a temple for my name.’

²⁰ “The Lord has brought to fulfillment^[b] what he promised, and now here I stand,^[c] having succeeded my father David to sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised. I have built the Temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel. ²¹ I have placed there the ark in which the covenant is stored that the Lord made with our ancestors when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
