1 Chronicles 22:7-9
22:7 David said to Solomon: “My son, I really wanted 1 to build a temple to honor 2 the Lord my God.
22:8 But the Lord said to me: 3 ‘You have spilled a great deal of blood and fought many battles. You must not build a temple to honor me, 4 for you have spilled a great deal of blood on the ground before me.
22:9 Look, you will have a son, who will be a peaceful man. 5 I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. 6 Indeed, Solomon 7 will be his name; I will give Israel peace and quiet during his reign. 8
