1 Kings 5:3-5

Legacy Standard Bible

³ “You know that ^(A)David my father was unable to build a house for the name of Yahweh his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until Yahweh put them under the soles of his feet. ⁴ But now ^(B)Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor ^[a]calamity. ⁵ So behold, ^(C)I ^[b]intend to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.’
