1 Chronicles 28:4 in Context — 1 Chronicles 28

2 Le roi David se leva sur ses pieds, et dit: Écoutez-moi, mes frères et mon peuple! J’avais l’intention de bâtir une maison de repos pour l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel et pour le marchepied de notre Dieu, et je me préparais à bâtir.

3 Mais Dieu m’a dit: Tu ne bâtiras pas une maison à mon nom, car tu es un homme de guerre et tu as versé du sang.

4 L’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, m’a choisi dans toute la maison de mon père, pour que je fusse roi d’Israël à toujours; car il a choisi Juda pour chef, il a choisi la maison de mon père dans la maison de Juda, et parmi les fils de mon père c’est moi qu’il a voulu faire régner sur tout Israël.

5 Entre tous mes fils – car l’Éternel m’a donné beaucoup de fils – il a choisi mon fils Salomon pour le faire asseoir sur le trône du royaume de l’Éternel, sur Israël.

6 Il m’a dit: Salomon, ton fils, bâtira ma maison et mes parvis; car je l’ai choisi pour mon fils, et je serai pour lui un père.
