The whole community of Isra'el stood 4 as he said, "Blessed be Adonai , the God of Isra'el, who spoke to my father David with his mouth and fulfilled his promise with his hand. He said, 5 ‘Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I chose no city from any of the tribes of Isra'el to build a house, so that my name might be there; nor did I choose anyone to be the leader of my people Isra'el. 6 But now I have chosen Yerushalayim, so that my name can be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Isra'el.' 7 It was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Adonai the God of Isra'el; 8 but Adonai said to David my father, ‘Although it was in your heart to build a house for my name, and you did well that it was in your heart, 9 nevertheless you will not build the house. Rather, you will father a son, and it will be he who will build the house for my name.' 10 Now Adonai has fulfilled this spoken word of his; for I have succeeded my father and sit on the throne of Isra'el, as Adonai promised; and I have built the house for the name of Adonai the God of Isra'el.
