Context

3The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel): and all the assembly of Israel stood.
4He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5‘Since the day that I brought 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 and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;
6but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
7Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
8But Yahweh 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;
9nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
