"Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel."
— 2 Chronicles 6:7, World English Bible
“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 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
'Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince 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.'
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
But Yahweh said to David my father, 'Whereas 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 shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.'
"Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
