1 Kings 8:18-20
International Standard Version
18 The Lord told my father David:
‘Therefore, since you determined[a] to build a temple for my name, you acted well, because it was your choice[b] to do so. 19 Nevertheless, you are not to build the Temple, but your son who will be born[c] to you is to build a temple for my name.’
20 “The Lord has brought to fulfillment[d] what he promised, and now here I stand,[e] having succeeded my father David to sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised. I have built the Temple for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
