2 Chronicles 6:8 in Context — 2 Chronicles 6
6 mais j’ai choisi Jérusalem pour que mon nom y résidât, et j’ai choisi David pour qu’il régnât sur mon peuple d’Israël!
7 David, mon père, avait l’intention de bâtir une maison au nom de l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël.
8 Et l’Éternel dit à David, mon père: Puisque tu as eu l’intention de bâtir une maison à mon nom, tu as bien fait d’avoir eu cette intention.
9 Seulement, ce ne sera pas toi qui bâtiras la maison; mais ce sera ton fils, sorti de tes entrailles, qui bâtira la maison à mon nom.
10 L’Éternel a accompli la parole qu’il avait prononcée. Je me suis élevé à la place de David, mon père, et je me suis assis sur le trône d’Israël, comme l’avait annoncé l’Éternel, et j’ai bâti la maison au nom de l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël.
