2 Chronicles 6:4-6

Darby Translation

⁴ And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying,

⁵ Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel:

⁶ but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
