1 Kings 8:18

Modern King James Version

And Jehovah said to my father David, Because it was in your heart to build a house to My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

See the chapter Copy

And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart, for Jehovah is with you.

And it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

Only, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall come out of your loins, he shall build the house to My name.

For if the eagerness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, and not according to what one does not have.
