2	And king Dauid stoode vp vpon his feete, and sayde: Heare me my brethren and my people, I had in myne heart to builde an house of rest, for the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde, and for the footestoole of our God, and had made redie for the building	Then King David rose to his feet and said: “Hear me, my brothers and my people.

I had it in my heart to build a house as a place of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, for the footstool of our God, and I made plans to build it.
3	But God saide vnto me: thou shalt not builde an house for my name, because thou hast ben a man of warre, and hast shed blood.

I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues strong in keeping my commandments and my rules, as he is today.’	I will establish his kingdom forever if he is unswerving in carrying out my commands and laws, as is being done at this time.’

If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.	“And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought.
