4 And he said: “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His hands what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, asaying,
5 ‘Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man to be a ruler over My people Israel.
6 aYet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there, and I bhave chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
7 Now ait was in the heart of my father David to build a1 temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
8 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart.
