Instructions to Solomon
6 David sent for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a temple for the Lord, the God of Israel. 7 David said to Solomon, “My son,[a] I had intended to build a temple for the name of the Lord my God. 8 But the Lord told me: You’ve shed much blood and waged great wars. You won’t build a temple for my name because you’ve spilled so much blood on the ground before me.
