2 Chronicles 6:5-6 ▼

5 “Since the day I brought my people Israel out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city to build a temple in among any of the tribes of Israel, so that my name would be there, and I have not chosen a man to be ruler over my people Israel.

6 But I have chosen Jerusalem so that my name will be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.”
