2 Chronicles 6:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ “My father David wanted to build a temple for the Lord, the God of Israel. ⁸ But the Lord said to my father David, ‘It was good that you wanted to build a temple for me. ⁹ But you are not the one to build it. Your son, who comes from your own body, is the one who will build my temple.’
