2 Chronicles 6:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ but the Lord said not to. It was good to have the desire, the Lord told him, ⁹ but he was not the one to build it: his son was chosen for that task. ¹⁰ And now the Lord has done what he promised, for I have become king in my father’s place, and I have built the Temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel
