现在你的王位必不长久。耶和华已经找到一个合他 心意的人。 ——《撒母耳记上》第13章第14节

—Acts 13:22
……又为他作见证说我寻得了耶西的儿子大卫，他 是和我心意的人，凡事要遵行我的旨意。”

人合自己心意，还可以用于某物，即something after my own heart。如：This is a house after my own heart, small, cozy and yet dignified in appearance.(这是一座 小巧、舒适而外表又显得堂皇的房子，完全符合我的 心意。)贬义表达：people of the same ilk(一丘之貉)。
