English Standard Version

^17 (A)Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. ¹⁸ But the Lord said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart. ^19 (B)Nevertheless, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’
