2 Chronicles 6:8 in Context — 2 Chronicles 6
6 Mas a Jerusalém escolhi para que nela esteja meu nome, e a Davi escolhi para que fosse sobre meu povo Israel.
7 E Davi meu pai teve no coração edificar casa ao nome do SENHOR Deus de Israel.
8 Mas o SENHOR disse a Davi meu pai: Com respeito a haver tido em teu coração edificar casa a meu nome, bem fizeste em haver tido isto em teu coração.
9 Porém tu não edificarás a casa, mas sim teu filho que sairá de teus lombos, ele edificará casa a meu nome.
10 E o SENHOR cumpriu sua palavra que havia dito, pois eu me levantei em lugar de Davi meu pai, e sentei-me no trono de Israel, como o SENHOR havia dito, e edifiquei casa ao nome do SENHOR Deus de Israel.
