Berean Standard Bible
1 Kings 8:19
“Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’”
In context
17Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
18But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
19Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
20Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
21And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
