Gen. 22:2

God’s choosing of Jerusalem as His worship center began with His word to Abraham in Gen. 22:2 (see note Gen. 22:2^2ф) and is clearly seen in Deut. 12:5-18 (see notes there). Hence, Solomon did not need to select a place in which to build the temple, for the place had already been selected by God and made known to David (2 Sam. 24:18-25).
