6But I haue chosen Ierusalem, that my name might be there, and haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel. 7Now it was in the heart of Dauid my father to build an house for the Name of the Lord God of Israel. 8But the Lord said to Dauid my father: Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to builde an house for my Name, thou diddest well in that it was in thine heart. 9Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house, but thy sonne which shall come foorth out of thy loynes, he shall build the house for my Name. 10The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen vp in the roome of Dauid my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and haue built the house for the Name of the Lord God of Israel.
