NASB
""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."
— 2 Chronicles 6:8, NASB
“But the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:”
“But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart: ”
“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:”
“The LORD told my father David,‘It is right for you to have a strong desire to build a temple to honor me.”
“The Lord said to him: Forasmuch as it was thy will to build a house to my name, thou hast done well indeed in having such a will:”
“But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:”
“But the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:”
'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.
"There I have set the ark in which is the covenant of the LORD, which He made with the sons of Israel."
