Context of 1 Chronicles 22:9

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. Behold, 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. 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.
