2 Chronicles 6:7-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. “And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

8. But the Lord said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well because of what was in your heart;

9. only you will not be the one to build the house. For your son, who will be born to you, he will build a house for My name.’

10. “The Lord has fulfilled the word that He spoke. For I have risen up in the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord spoke, and I will build the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
