1 Chronicles 22:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ David said to Solomon, “My son, I wanted to build a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, ⁸ but the word of the Lord came to me saying, ‘Because you have shed so much blood and you have waged many wars, you will not build a house for my name because you have shed too much blood upon the earth before me. ⁹ Behold, a son will be born to you who will be a man of peace^[a] and rest. I will give him a respite from all of his surrounding enemies, for his name will be Solomon. I will give peace and quiet to Israel during his reign.
