1 Kings 5:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ “You knew David my father, that he was not able to build a house for the name of Yahweh his God, in view of the warfare^[a] which surrounded him, until Yahweh placed them^[b] under the soles of his feet. ⁴ But now Yahweh my God has given me rest all around me. There is no adversary, and there is no bad occurrence. ⁵ Here I am, intending to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh promised to my father David, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place on your throne, shall build the house for my name.’
