2 Chronicles 6:7
World English Bible (WEB)
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
In context
5 ‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;
6 but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
8 But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;
9 nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
