Context of 1 Chronicles 22:9

7David said to Solomon: “My son, I really wanted to build a temple to honor the Lord my God. 8But the Lord said to me: ‘You have spilled a great deal of blood and fought many battles. You must not build a temple to honor me, for you have spilled a great deal of blood on the ground before me. Look, you will have a son, who will be a peaceful man. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. Indeed, Solomon will be his name; I will give Israel peace and quiet during his reign. 10He will build a temple to honor me; he will become my son, and I will become his father. I will grant to his dynasty permanent rule over Israel.’ 11“Now, my son, may the Lord be with you! May you succeed and build a temple for the Lord your God, just as he announced you would.
