列王紀上 8:16

他說：『自從我領我民以色列出埃及以來，我未曾在以色列各支派中選擇一城建造殿宇－為我名的居所，但揀選大衛治理我民以色列。』」

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.’
