New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
16
‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel from Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel
in which
to build a house so that My name would be there, but I chose David to be over My people Israel.’
17
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
18
But the
Lord
said to my father David, ‘Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19
Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he will build the house for My name.’
20
Now the
Lord
has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in place of my father David and I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the
Lord
promised, and I have built the house for the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
King James Version
Chapter 8
16
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17
And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the
Lord
God of Israel.
18
And the
Lord
said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
19
Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
20
And the
Lord
hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the
Lord
promised, and have built an house for the name of the
Lord
God of Israel.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
16
"Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt,
I have not chosen a city to build a temple in
among any of the tribes of Israel,
so that my name would be there.
But I have chosen David to rule my people Israel."
17
My father David had his heart set
on building a temple for the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
18
But the
Lord
said to my father David,
"Since your heart was set on building a temple for my name,
you have done well to have this desire.
19
Yet you are not the one to build it;
instead, your son, your own offspring,
will build it for my name."
20
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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
16
‘From the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have never chosen a city among any of the tribes of Israel as the place where a Temple should be built to honor my name. But I have chosen David to be king over my people Israel.’'
17
Then Solomon said, 'My father, David, wanted to build this Temple to honor the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
18
But the
Lord
told him, ‘You wanted to build the Temple to honor my name. Your intention is good,
19
but you are not the one to do it. One of your own sons will build the Temple to honor me.’
20
And now the
Lord
has fulfilled the promise he made, for I have become king in my father’s place, and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the
Lord
promised. I have built this Temple to honor the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.

Chapter 8
16
‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there. But I chose David to be over my people Israel.’
17
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
Nevertheless, you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’
20
Now the
Lord
has fulfilled his promise that he made. For I have risen in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the
Lord
promised, and I have built the house for the name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
New International Version
Chapter 8
16
‘Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in any tribe of Israel to have a temple built so that my Name might be there, but I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.’
17
"My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
18
But the
Lord
said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name.
19
Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’
20
"The
Lord
has kept the promise he made: I have succeeded David my father and now I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the
Lord
promised, and I have built the temple for the Name of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
16
‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel
in which
to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.’
17
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the
Lord
God of Israel.
18
But the
Lord
said to my father David, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19
Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.’
20
So the
Lord
has fulfilled His word which He spoke; and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the
Lord
promised; and I have built a temple for the name of the
Lord
God of Israel.
