"From the time I brought my people out of Egypt until now, I did not choose any city in the land of Israel as the place to build a temple where I would be worshipped, and I did not choose any one to lead my people Israel. But now I have chosen Jerusalem as the place where I will be worshipped, and you, David, to rule my people."
