1 Chronicles 22:7

Compare all

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.

7 And David said to Solomon: “My son, as for me, ^ait was in my mind to build a house ^bto the name of the Lord my God;

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.

10 ^aHe shall build a house for My name, and ^bhe 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 ^athe 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 ^agive you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.

13 ^aThen you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the Lord¹ charged Moses concerning Israel. ^bBe strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.
