ગુજરાતી2 કાળવૃતાંત ૬:૫
‘હું મારા લોકોને મિસર દેશમાંથી બહાર લાવ્યો, તે દિવસથી, મારું નામ ત્યાં રહે તે માટે સભાસ્થાન બાંધવા માટે, મેં ઇઝરાયલના સર્વ કુળોમાંથી કોઈ નગરને પસંદ કર્યું નથી. તેમ જ મારા ઇઝરાયલ લોકો પર મેં કોઈ પુરુષને રાજા તરીકે પસંદ કર્યો નથી.

‘जिस दिन से मैं अपनी प्रजा को मिस्र देश से निकाल लाया, तब से मैंने न तो इस्राएल के किसी गोत्र का कोई नगर चुना जिसमें मेरे नाम के निवास के लिये भवन बनाया जाए, और न कोई मनुष्य चुना कि वह मेरी प्रजा इस्राएल पर प्रधान हो।

In context

3The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.

4He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,

5‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;

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

7Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
