2 Chronicles 6:9

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

But you're not the one to do it. Your son will build the temple to honour me.”

See the chapter Copy

to go to David and tell him: David, you are my servant, so listen carefully: you are not the one to build a temple for me.

but the LORD has refused to let me build it, because he said I have killed too many people in battle.

The LORD has done what he promised. I am now the king of Israel, and I've built a temple for the LORD our God.

the LORD said, “It's good that you want to build a temple where I can be worshipped.
