4 And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he spoke with mouth his with David father my and by hands his he has fulfilled saying.
5 Since the day when I brought out people my from [the] land of Egypt not I have chosen a city from all [the] tribes of Israel to build a house to be name my there and not I have chosen a person to be ruler over people my Israel.
6 And I have chosen Jerusalem to be name my there and I have chosen David to be over people my Israel.
7 And it was with [the] heart of David father my to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
8 And he said Yahweh to David father my because that it was with heart your to build a house for name my you did well for it was with heart your.
