Context of 1 Chronicles 22:6
4and cedar-trees innumerable; for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-wood in abundance to David. 5For David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Jehovah must be exceeding great in fame and in beauty in all lands: I will therefore make preparation for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death. And he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for Jehovah the God of Israel. 7And David said to Solomon, As for me, my son, I was minded to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God. 8But the word of Jehovah came to me saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
