1 Chronicles 22:6-10

1 Chronicles 22:6-10 NCV

Then David called for his son Solomon and told him to build the Temple for the LORD, the God of Israel. David said to him, “My son, I wanted to build a temple for worshiping the LORD my God. But the LORD spoke his word to me, ‘David, you have killed many people. You have fought many wars. You cannot build a temple for worship to me, because you have killed many people. But, you will have a son, a man of peace and rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies around him. His name will be Solomon, and I will give Israel peace and quiet while he is king. Solomon will build a temple for worship to me. He will be my son, and I will be his father. I will make his kingdom strong; someone from his family will rule Israel forever.’ ”
