15. He said: “Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and has fulfilled it by His hand, saying:
16. ‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out from Egypt, I have not chosen a city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a House where My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
17. “Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a House for the Name of Adonai, the God of Israel.
18. But Adonai 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.
19. Nevertheless you will not build the House, but your son who will come out of your loins, he shall build the House for My Name.’
20. Now Adonai has fulfilled His word that He spoke, for I have risen in the place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as Adonai promised. Also I have built the House for the Name of Adonai, the God of Israel,
