1 Kings 8:19-21
New English Translation
19 But you will not build the temple; your very own son will build the temple for my honor.’[a] 20 The Lord has kept the promise he made.[b] I have taken my father David’s place and have occupied the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised. I have built this temple for the honor[c] of the Lord God of Israel 21 and set up in it a place for the ark containing the covenant the Lord made with our ancestors[d] when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
