2 Chronicles 6:9 in Context — 2 Chronicles 6

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.

10 Y Jehová ha cumplido su palabra que había dicho; pues levantéme yo en lugar de David mi padre, y heme sentado en el trono de Israel, como Jehová había dicho, y he edificado casa al nombre de Jehová Dios de Israel.

11 Y en ella he puesto el arca, en la cual está el pacto de Jehová que concertó con los hijos de Israel.
