तब दाऊद राजा खड़ा होकर कहने लगा, “हे मेरे भाइयों! और हे मेरी प्रजा के लोगों! मेरी सुनो, मेरी मनसा तो थी कि यहोवा की वाचा के सन्दूक के लिये और हम लोगों के परमेश्वर के चरणों की पीढ़ी के लिये विश्राम का एक भवन बनाऊँ, और मैंने उसके बनाने की तैयारी की थी।

In context

1David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.

2Then 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 the LORD’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

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

4However the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
