(A)Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him (B)rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be [a]Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days. 10 (C)He shall build a house for My name, and (D)he shall be My son, and I will be his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’ 11 Now, my son, may (E)the Lord be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of the Lord your God, as He has said to you. 12 Only may the Lord (F)give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the Lord your God. 13 (G)Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the Lord [b]charged Moses concerning Israel. (H)Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.
