2 Chronicles 6:5-7
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither did I choose any man to be a prince over my people Israel.
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might be there and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 Now it was in the heart of David, my father, to build a house unto the name of the LORD God of Israel.
