5 Now David said, ^a“Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it.” So David made abundant preparations before his death.  ‡

6 Then he called for his son Solomon, and¹ charged him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel.  ‡

8 but the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ^a‘You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.  ‡

9 ^aBehold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him ^brest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be¹ Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.  ‡
