17It was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

18But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Because it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.’

19Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; rather, your son who comes from your own body, he shall build the house for my name.
