1 Chronicles 22:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ David said to Solomon, “My son,^[a] I had intended to build a temple for the name of the Lord my God. ⁸ But the Lord told me: You’ve shed much blood and waged great wars. You won’t build a temple for my name because you’ve spilled so much blood on the ground before me. ⁹ A son has just been born to you. He’ll be a man of peace, and I’ll give him peace with all his surrounding enemies. In fact, his name will be Solomon,^[b] and I’ll give Israel peace and quiet during his reign.
