1 Chronicles 22:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ David said to him, “My son, I wanted to build a temple for worshiping the Lord my God. ⁸ But the Lord spoke his word to me, ‘David, you have killed too many people. You have fought too many wars. So you cannot build a temple for worship to me. You have killed too many people. ⁹ But, you will have a son. He will be a man of peace and rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies around him. His name will be Solomon.^[a] And I will give Israel peace and quiet while he is king.
