1 Kings 8:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
In context
15 and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
16 ‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
17 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
18 But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
19 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
