1 Chronicles 28:1-3

1Now 1David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the leaders of the tribes, and the commanders of the divisions that served the king, 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, all the valiant warriors.

2Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people; 3I 4had intended 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.’
