1 Kings 8:16⥂
_KJV:
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
_BSB:
‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
_Hebrew:
מִן־ הַיּ֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֨ר הוֹצֵ֜אתִי אֶת־ עַמִּ֣י אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵל֮ מִמִּצְרַיִם֒ לֹֽא־ בָחַ֣רְתִּי בְעִ֗יר מִכֹּל֙ שִׁבְטֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לִבְנ֣וֹת בַּ֔יִת לִהְי֥וֹת שְׁמִ֖י שָׁ֑ם וָאֶבְחַ֣ר בְּדָוִ֔ד לִֽהְי֖וֹת עַל־ עַמִּ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
