1 Chronicles 22:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ But the Lord spoke his word to me, ‘David, you have ·killed many people [shed much blood]. You have fought ·many [great] wars. You cannot build a ·temple [^Lhouse] ·for worship to me [to my name], because you have ·killed many people [shed so much blood on the earth in my sight; ^Che completed the conquest of Canaan]. ⁹ But, you will have a son, a man of ·peace [^Lrest]. I will give him rest from all his enemies around him. His name will be Solomon [^Ca name derived from shalom, “peace”], and I will give Israel peace and quiet ·while he is king [^Lin his days]. ¹⁰ Solomon will build a ·temple [^Lhouse] for ·worship to me [my name]. He will be my son, and I will be his father [2 Sam. 7:14; Ps. 2:7]. I will ·make his kingdom strong; someone from his family will rule [establish/secure his throne over] Israel forever.’”
