1 Kings 8:18

Then said Yahweh unto David my father, Because it was near thy heart to build a house for my Name, thou didst well that it was near thy heart;

And so it came to pass, that it was near the heart of David my father, - to build a house, to the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel.

For, if the forwardness is set forth, according to what one may have, he is well approved, not according to what one hath not.
