1 Kings 8:19-21

English Standard Version

^19 (A)Nevertheless, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’ ²⁰ Now the Lord has fulfilled his promise that he made. For I have risen in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, ^(B)as the Lord promised, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. ²¹ And there I have provided a place for the ark, ^(C)in which is the covenant of the Lord that he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
