2 Then King David (beloved) rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. It was in my heart to build a house as a resting place for the ark of the covenant of the LORD {YHWH} and as a footstool for our God {Elohenu}. I had made preparations to build it, 3 but God {Elohim} said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for My Name, because you are a man of war who has shed blood.’ 1 Chronicles 28:2-3, Berean Annotated Bible.
