1 Chronicles 22:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ David said to Solomon, “My son, I had planned to build a house to the name of the Lord my God.^{(A) 8} But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to my name because you have shed so much blood in my sight on the earth.^{(B) 9} See, a son shall be born to you; he shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; indeed, his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace^[a] and quiet to Israel in his days.^(C)
