列王纪上 8:16

他说：『自从我领我民以色列出埃及以来，我未曾在以色列各支派中选择一城建造殿宇—为我名的居所，但拣选大卫治理我民以色列。』」

tā shuō ：『 zì cóng wǒ lǐng wǒ mín yǐ sè liè chū āi jí yǐ lái ， wǒ wèi céng zài yǐ sè liè gè zhī pài zhōng xuǎn zé yì chéng jiàn zào diàn yǔ — wèi wǒ míng de jū suǒ ， dàn jiǎn xuǎn dà wèi zhì lǐ wǒ mín yǐ sè liè 。』」

‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’
