2 Chronicles 6:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ Yet you shall not build the house, but your son, who shall be born to you—he shall build the house for My Name.

¹⁰ The Lord therefore has performed His word that He has spoken, for I have risen up in the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

¹¹ In it have I put the ark [the symbol of His presence], in which is the covenant of the Lord [the Ten Commandments] which He made with the people of Israel.
