2 Chronicles 6:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
In context
7 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
8 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.
9 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
10 Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
11 And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with the children of Israel.”
