Context22:7 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 22:10 He will build a temple to honor me; 9 he will become my son, and I will become his father. I will grant to his dynasty permanent rule over Israel.’ 10
22:11 “Now, my son, may the Lord be with you! May you succeed and build a temple for the Lord your God, just as he announced you would. 11
