In context

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

8But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;

9nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

10“The LORD has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

11There I have set the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”
