Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 6 of 2 Chronicles. Solomon acknowledges that God has chosen Jerusalem and the house of David as the center of worship. He recalls that David wanted to build the temple but that the task was assigned to his son. The dedication is placed within the continuity of the promise made to David and the fulfillment of what God had announced concerning Jerusalem.

Doch du sollst das Haus nicht bauen, sondern dein Sohn, der aus deinen Lenden kommen wird, soll meinem Namen das Haus bauen.
Empero tú no edificarás la casa, sino tu hijo que saldrá de tus lomos, él edificará casa a mi nombre.
Seulement, ce ne sera pas toi qui bâtiras la maison; mais ce sera ton fils, sorti de tes entrailles, qui bâtira la maison à mon nom.
nondimeno, tu non edificherai essa Casa; anzi il tuo figliuolo che uscirà de’ tuoi lombi, sarà quel ch’edificherà la Casa al mio Nome.
Contudo tu não edificarás a casa, mas teu filho, que há de proceder de teus lombos, esse edificará a casa ao meu nome.
但你不可建殿,惟有你親生的兒子才可為我的名建殿。』
