2 Chronicles 6:7-9

7 “My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

8 But the Lord said to my father David, ‘Because it was in your heart to build a temple for my Name, you did well to have this in your heart.

9 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, who is your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’
