1 Kings 8:16-19

1 Kings 8:16-19

[16] Since the day  that I brought forth  my people  Israel  out of Egypt,  I chose  no city  out of all the tribes  of Israel  to build  an house,  that my name  might be therein; but I chose  David  to be over my people  Israel.  [17] And it was in the heart  of David  my father  to build  an house  for the name  of the LORD  God  of Israel.  [18] And the LORD  said  unto David  my father,  Whereas  it was in thine heart  to build  an house  unto my name,  thou didst well  that it was in thine heart.  [19] Nevertheless  thou shalt not build  the house;  but thy son  that shall come forth out  of thy loins,  he shall build  the house  unto my name.
