NASB
""Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel."
— 1 Kings 8:17, NASB
“And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.”
“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel. ”
“"Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.”
“Now my father David had a strong desire to build a temple to honor the LORD God of Israel.”
“And David, my father, would have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel:”
“Now it was in the heart of David my father to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.”
“And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.”
Then the king faced about and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
He said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David and has fulfilled it with His hand, saying,
'Since the day that I brought My people Israel from Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, but I chose David to be over My people Israel.'
"Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
"But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.
'Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he will build the house for My name.'
"Now the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
