Amplified Bible
1 Kings 5:3-5
3“You know that David my father could not build a house (temple) for the Name (Presence) of the Lord his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.
4But now that the Lord my God has given me rest [from war] on every side, there is neither adversary nor misfortune [confronting me].
5Behold, I intend to build a house (temple) to the Name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord said to my father David: ‘Your son whom I will put on your throne in your place shall build the house for My Name and Presence.’
