NASB
"but I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.'"
— 2 Chronicles 6:6, NASB
“But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.”
“but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. ”
“but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'”
“But now I have chosen Jerusalem as a place to live, and I have chosen David to lead my people Israel.’”
“But I chose Jerusalem, that my name might be there: and I chose David to set him over my people Israel.”
“But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.”
“But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people 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 hands, saying,
'Since the day that I brought My people from the land of 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, nor did I choose any man for a leader over My people Israel;
but I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I have chosen 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 shall build the house for My name.'
