If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [since he said, ‘Today, the house of Israel will return the kingdom of my father to me,’ he is staying in Jerusalem]
