1 Chronicles 28:1-3

1Now 1David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the commanders of the divisions that served the king, and the commanders of thousands, and the commanders of hundreds, and the overseers of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons, with the officials and 2the mighty men, even all the valiant men.

2Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brethren and my people; I 3had 4intended to build a 5permanent home for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for 6the footstool of our God. So I had made preparations to build it.

3But God said to me, ‘7You shall not build a house for My name because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
