6But now I have chosen Jerusalem for My Name to be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
7Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
8But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
— 2 Chronicles 6:6-8
