1 Kings 8:18-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ But the Lord said to my father David,
“Since it was your desire to build a temple for My name,
you have done well to have this desire.^(A)
19 Yet you are not the one to build it;
instead, your son, your own offspring,
will build it for My name.”^(B)
20 The Lord has fulfilled what He promised.
I have taken the place of my father David,^(C)
and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised.^(D)
I have built the temple for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
