1 Chronicles 22:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ David told his son Solomon, “I had my heart set on building a temple for the name of the Lord, my God. ⁸ But the Lord spoke his word to me by saying, ‘You have caused a lot of bloodshed and fought in a lot of wars. You must not build a temple for my name because you have caused so much bloodshed in my presence. ⁹ You will have a son who will be a peaceful man. I will give him peace from all the enemies around him. His name will be Solomon [Peace], and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet.
