1 Chronicles 22:7 BBE

⁵  And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.

⁶  Then he sent for his son Solomon, and gave him orders for the building of a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.

⁷  And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up a house for the name of the Lord my God.

⁸  But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.

⁹  But you will have a son who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from wars on every side. His name will be Solomon, and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet;
