But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘(A)You have shed much blood and have [a]waged great wars; you shall not build a house to My name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth before Me. Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest, and (B)I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for (C)his name will be [b]Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days. 10 (D)He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son and I will be his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
