1 Kings 5:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ Thou knowest how David, my father, could not build a house unto the name of the LORD his God, for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put his enemies under the soles of his feet.

⁴ Now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side so that there is neither adversary nor evil encounter.

⁵ And, therefore, I have determined to build a house unto the name of the LORD my God as the LORD spoke unto David, my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy place, he shall build a house unto my name.
