1 Kings 8:17 in Context — 1 Kings 8
15 E disse: Bendito seja o SENHOR Deus de Israel, que falou de sua boca a Davi meu pai, e com sua mão o cumpriu, dizendo:
16 Desde o dia que tirei meu povo Israel do Egito, não escolhi cidade de todas as tribos de Israel para edificar casa na qual estivesse meu nome, ainda que escolhi a Davi para que presidisse em meu povo Israel.
17 E Davi meu pai teve no coração edificar casa ao nome do SENHOR Deus de Israel.
18 Mas o SENHOR disse a Davi meu pai: Quanto a haver tu tido no coração edificar casa a meu nome, bem fizeste em ter tal vontade;
19 Porém tu não edificarás a casa, mas sim teu filho que sairá de teus lombos, ele edificará casa a meu nome.
