1 Chronicles 22:7-9

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a house unto the name of the LORD my God;

⁸ but the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly and hast made great wars; thou shalt not build a house unto my name because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

⁹ Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about, for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
