6 Mas á Jerusalem he elegido para que en ella esté mi nombre, y á David he elegido para que fuese sobre mi pueblo Israel.
7 Y David mi padre tuvo en el corazón edificar casa al nombre de Jehová Dios de Israel.
8 Mas Jehová dijo á David mi padre: Respecto á haber tenido en tu corazón edificar casa á mi nombre, bien has hecho en haber tenido esto en tu corazón.
9 Empero tú no edificarás la casa, sino tu hijo que saldrá de tus lomos, él edificará casa á mi nombre.
