13I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in for ever.
14And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
15And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David thy father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
18But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:
19nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
