1 Chronicles 28:4
Source: Septuagint
4Yet the Lord God of Israel chose me out of the whole house of my father to be king over Israel forever; and he chose Judah as the kingly house, and out of the house of Judah he chose the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he preferred me, that I should be king over all Israel.

2And David stood in the midst of the assembly, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and a place for the feet of our Lord, and I prepared materials suitable for the building:
3but God said, Thou shalt not build me a house to call my name upon it, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
— 1 Chronicles 28:4 —
5And of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son, to set him on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
6And God said to me, Solomon thy son shall build my house and my court: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be to him a father.
