ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
