2 Chronicles 6:6

Solomon Blesses The People

⁵ “Since the day I brought My people Israel
out of the land of Egypt,
I have not chosen a city to build a temple in
among any of the tribes of Israel,
so that My name would be there,
and I have not chosen a man
to be ruler over My people Israel.
⁶ But I have chosen Jerusalem
so that My name will be there,
and I have chosen David
to be over My people Israel.” ⁷ Now it was in the heart of my father David
to build a temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
