1 Chronicles 22:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ He also had much cedar wood, for the Sidonians of Tyre had brought much cedar wood to David.

⁵ David said, “Solomon, my son, is young and inexperienced, and the house that will be built for the Lord must be tremendously magnificent, famous, and glorious throughout every land. I will therefore make preparations for it now.” So David made many preparations before he died.

⁶ He then summoned Solomon, his son, and he charged him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.
