Context of 1 Chronicles 22:6

4Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David. 5And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death. Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel. 7And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house to the name of the LORD my God: 8But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house to my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

Where God gives rest, he expects work. Because God had promised to establish his kingdom. God's gracious promises should quicken and strengthen our religious…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2-19God promised David that his kingdom would last forever and that his son would build a temple for the Lord (1 Chronicles 17:11–12).

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 66. Then he called for Solomon ... and charged him--The earnestness and solemnity of this address creates an impression that it was given a little before the old king's decease.
