Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
17 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the Name [the Presence] of the Lord, the God of Israel.
18 And the Lord said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19 Yet you shall not build the house, but your son, who shall be born to you, shall build it to My Name [and My actively present Person].

New International Version
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)
