Context of 1 Chronicles 22:9
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. But 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. 10He will build a temple to give honour to my name. He will become my son and I will become his father. I will give him descendants to rule Israel as kings for ever.” 11So, my son, I pray that the Lord will be with you. He will do what he has promised. He will help you to build a temple for the Lord your God.
