1 Chronicles 22:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And David said: Solomon my son is very young and tender, and the house which I would have to be built to the Lord, must be such as to be renowned in all countries: therefore I will prepare him necessaries. And therefore before his death he prepared all the charges.

⁶ And he called for Solomon his son: and commanded him to build a house to the Lord the God of Israel.

⁷ And David said to Solomon: My son, it was my desire to have built a house to the name of the Lord my God.
