2 Chronicles 6:5-6 ▼

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

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