5 But you shall seek the place that the Lord your God will ⁱchoose out of all your tribes to ^jput his name and make his habitation¹ there. There you shall go,

16 ^r‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I ^schose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there. But I ^tchose David to be over my people Israel.’

4 And he built altars ^win the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, ^x“In Jerusalem will I put my name.”

5 ^v‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I ^wchose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there, and I chose no man as prince over my people Israel;

6 but I have chosen Jerusalem that my name may be there, and I have ^xchosen David to be over my people Israel.’

9 but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, ^othough your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place that I have ^pchosen, to make my name dwell there.’

12 Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, ^jwhere I made my name dwell at first, and see ^kwhat I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel.
