2 Chronicles 6:8-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

11. And there I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that He made with the children of Israel.”
