1 Chronicles 17:1

Now it happened when the king inhabited his house, and Yahweh had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,

“And it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

Then David made houses for himself in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.

And David said to Solomon, “My son, I had it within my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God.

Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people; I had it within my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and for the footstool of the feet of our God. So I had made preparations to build it.

“David found favor in the sight of God, and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
