2 King David rose to his feet and said: |Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I wanted to build a temple where the ark of the LORD's covenant could be placed as a footstool for our God. I have made the preparations for building it. 3 But God said to me, 'You must not build a temple to honor me, for you are a warrior and have spilled blood.' 1 Chronicles 28:2-3, New English Translation.
