³ “You know that because of the wars^(A) waged against my father David from all sides, he could not build^(B) a temple for the Name of the Lord his God until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.^{(C) 4} But now the Lord my God has given me rest^(D) on every side, and there is no adversary^(E) or disaster. ⁵ I intend, therefore, to build a temple^(F) for the Name of the Lord my God, as the Lord told my father David, when he said, ‘Your son whom I will put on the throne in your place will build the temple for my Name.’^(G)

¹⁷ “My father David had it in his heart^(A) to build a temple^(B) for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. ¹⁸ But the Lord said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name. ¹⁹ Nevertheless, you^(C) are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’^(D)

²⁰ “The Lord has kept the promise he made: I have succeeded^(E) David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised, and I have built^(F) the temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
