1 Chronicles 22:5-9

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.

7He said to Solomon, ‘My son, I really wanted to build a house for the Lord my God, to give honour to him.

8But the Lord said to me, “You have killed many people in the battles that you have fought. So you yourself will not build a house to give me honour. I have seen all the blood of the people that you have killed.

9But you will have a son who will be a man who lives in peace. I will cause all his enemies to leave him in peace. Yes, his name will be Solomon. While he is king, I will cause Israel to enjoy peace. I will keep them safe from their enemies.
