2 Chronicles 6:5-7

New International Version

⁵ ‘Since the day I brought my people out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel. ⁶ But now I have chosen Jerusalem^(A) for my Name^(B) to be there, and I have chosen David^(C) to rule my people Israel.’

⁷ “My father David had it in his heart^(D) to build a temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
