2 Chronicles 6:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ But you will not build the temple. Instead, one of your own sons will build it to give honour to me.”

¹⁰ Now the Lord has done what he promised to do. I now rule Israel as king on the throne of my father David, as the Lord promised. I have built this temple to give honour to the Lord, Israel's God. ¹¹ I have put the Covenant Box there. It contains the covenant that the Lord made with the Israelites.’
