1 Chronicles 22:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ David said, Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands. I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

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

⁷ David said to Solomon, My son, it was in my heart to build a house to the ^[a]Name and [for the symbol of] the Presence of the Lord my God.
