1 Kings 8:15-17

New King James Version

¹⁵ And he said: ^(A)“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who ^(B)spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying, ¹⁶ ‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that ^(C)My name might be there; but I chose ^(D)David to be over My people Israel.’ ¹⁷ Now ^(E)it was in the heart of my father David to build a ^[a]temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
