1 Kings 8:18-21 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

18. and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;

19. only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name.

20. `And Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

21. and set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from the land of Egypt.'
