He spoke with His mouth to my father David. And He has kept His promise with His hand, saying, 16 'Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I did not choose a city of all the families of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there. But I chose David to be king 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, ‘Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart. 19 But you will not build the house. Your son who will be born to you will build the house for My name.' 20 Now the Lord has kept His promise which He made. For I have taken my father David's place and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised. And I have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 21 There I have made a place for the special box in which is the agreement of the Lord. He made it when He brought them from the land of Egypt."
