Divrey Hayamim Bais 6:5-7

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁵ Since HaYom when I brought forth Ami out of Eretz Mitzrayim I chose no city among all the Shivtei Yisroel to build a Bais in, that Shmi might be there; neither chose I any ish to be a Nagid over Ami Yisroel,

⁶ But I chose Yerushalayim, that Shmi might be there; and chose Dovid to be over Ami Yisroel.

⁷ Now it was in the levav Dovid Avi to build a Bais for the Shem of Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
