2 Chronicles 6:5-6 ▼

5 ‘Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city among all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name (Presence) might be there, nor did I choose any man to be a leader over My people Israel;

6 but I have chosen Jerusalem that My Name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
