1 Chronicles 22:6-13

6Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for Yhwh God of Israel. 7And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of Yhwh my God: 8But the word of Yhwh came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. 9Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.1 10He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. 11Now, my son, Yhwh be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of Yhwh thy God, as he hath said of thee. 12Only Yhwh give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of Yhwh thy God. 13Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which Yhwh charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
