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."
— 2 Chronicles 6:7, NASB
“Now 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 whereas David my father had a mind to build a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel,”
“Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.”
“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.”
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.'
"Now the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in the 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.
