Context of 1 Chronicles 28:5

3But God told me, ‘You must not build the temple for my name. You have fought wars and caused bloodshed.’ 4Yet, from my entire family the Lord God of Israel chose me to be king of Israel permanently. He had chosen the tribe of Judah to lead ⌞Israel⌟. From the families of Judah he chose my father’s family. From among my father’s sons he was pleased to make me king of all Israel. And of all my sons (the Lord has given me many sons) he chose my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the Lord’s kingdom to rule Israel. 6“He told me, ‘Your son Solomon will build my temple and my courtyards because I have chosen him to be my son. I will be his father. 7I will establish his kingdom forever if he will remain determined to obey my commands and laws, as he is doing today.’
