it was in the heart of David my father ... it was in your heart ... for it to be in your heart
What David desired is spoken of as if it were an item in a container and the heart as if it were a container. Alternate translation: "David my father desired ... you desired ... to desire to do that" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
for the name of Yahweh ... for my name
The word "name" is a metonym for the person, and "for ... name" refers to worshiping the person. See how you translated similar words in 1 Kings 3:2. Alternate translation: "in which people would worship Yahweh ... in which people will worship me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
