1 Chronicles 28:2

Solomon Instructed to Build the Temple

1 Now David assembled at Jerusalem all ^athe leaders of Israel: the officers of the tribes and ^bthe captains of the divisions who served the king, the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, and ^cthe stewards over all the substance and¹ possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officials, the valiant men, and all ^dthe mighty men of valor.

2 Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Hear me, my brethren and my people: ^aI had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for ^bthe footstool of our God, and had made preparations to build it.

3 But God said to me, ^a‘You shall not build a house for My name, because you have been a man of war and have shed ^bblood.’

4 However the Lord God of Israel ^achose me above all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for He has chosen ^bJudah to be the ruler. And of the house of Judah, ^cthe house of my father, and ^damong the sons of my father, He was pleased with me to make me king over all Israel.

5 ^aAnd of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) ^bHe has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
