⁹ Yet, you are not the one to build the temple,
but your son, your own offspring,
will build the temple for my name.”
¹⁰ So the Lord has fulfilled what he promised.
I have taken the place of my father David
and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised.
I have built the temple for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
¹¹ I have put the ark there,
where the Lord’s covenant is
that he made with the Israelites.^(A)
