1 Kings 8:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ And the Lord said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you did well that it was in your heart.

¹⁹ Yet you shall not build the house, but your son, who shall be born to you, shall build it to My Name [and My actively present Person].

²⁰ And the Lord has fulfilled His promise which He made: I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built a house for the Name (renown) of the Lord, the God of Israel.
