1 Chronicles 22:5-6

5David said, ‘The Lord's temple must be great and beautiful. It must be famous, so that the people of every nation see how great it is. My son Solomon is young and he has no special skills. So I must prepare everything for him to build the temple.’ So before David died, he prepared all these things.

6David sent someone to fetch his son, Solomon. He told him that he must build a temple for the Lord, Israel's God.
