1 Kings 5:2-5

2Solomon sent word to Hiram, by saying,

3“You know that my father David was surrounded by war. He couldn’t build a temple for the name of the Lord our God until the Lord let him defeat his enemies.

4But the Lord my God has surrounded me with peace. I have no rival and no trouble.

5Now I’m thinking of building a temple for the name of the Lord my God as the Lord spoke to my father David: ‘Your son, whom I will put on your throne to succeed you, will build a temple for my name.’
