3 Kings 8:16
Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- A die qua eduxi populum meum Israël de Ægypto, non elegi civitatem de universis tribubus Israël, ut ædificaretur domus, et esset nomen meum ibi : sed elegi David ut esset super populum meum Israël.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἡμέρας ἐξήγαγον τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν πόλει ἐν ἑνὶ σκήπτρῳ Ἰσραήλ, τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τοῦ εἶναι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ μεῖναι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐξελεξάμην τὸν Δαυεὶδ τοῦ εἶναι ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
