2 Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

3 But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
