1 Kings 8:19-21

The Voice

¹⁹ However you will not be the one to build this place; but your son who is yet to be born will build your vision, this temple, for My name.”

²⁰ The Eternal has kept this promise. I now sit upon my father David’s throne—the throne of Israel—just as He said, and I have constructed the temple honoring the reputation of the Eternal One, Israel’s God. ²¹ There I have made a sacred space for the covenant chest. Inside the chest is the covenant of the Eternal which He entered into with our ancestors after He led them out of Egypt.
