Context of 1 Chronicles 22:5

3David prepared a large quantity of iron for nails and fittings on the doors of the gates. He also prepared so much bronze that it couldn’t be weighed. 4The men of Sidon and Tyre brought David so many cedar logs that the logs couldn’t be counted. David thought, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the temple that will be built for the Lord must be magnificent, large, famous, praised, and honored in all other countries. I’ll prepare ⌞the building materials⌟ for him.” So David prepared many materials ⌞for Solomon⌟ before he died. 6He summoned his son Solomon and commanded him to build a temple for the Lord God of Israel. 7David told his son Solomon, “I had my heart set on building a temple for the name of the Lord, my God.
