2 Chronicles 6:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ but you will not build the house. Your son, who will come from your own body, will build the house for my Name.”

¹⁰ So the Lord kept his word which he had spoken, and I arose in the place of my father David. Now I am seated on the throne of Israel just as the Lord said. I have built this house for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel. ¹¹ There I have placed the Ark, which contains the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.
