I will give him rest from all his surrounding enemies,(B) for his name will be Solomon,[a](C) and I will give peace and quiet to Israel during his reign.(D) 10 He is the one who will build a house for my name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’(E)
