2 Chronicles 6:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ you yourself won’t build that temple. Instead, your very own son will build the temple for my name.” ¹⁰ The Lord has kept his promise—I have succeeded my father David on Israel’s throne, just as the Lord said, and I have built the temple for the name of the Lord, Israel’s God. ¹¹ There I’ve placed the chest that contains the covenant that the Lord made with the Israelites.
