2 Chronicles 6
5 "Since the day that I brought forth
my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over
my people Israel:"
6 "
But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and
have chosen David to be over my people Israel."
God chose his people.
