1 Kings 5:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ “You know that David, my father, could not build a temple for the name of the Lord, his God, because he had to fight battles on every side until the Lord placed them under his feet. ⁴ Now the Lord, my God, has given me rest on every side, so that there are neither adversaries nor disasters. ⁵ I therefore intend to build a temple for the name of the Lord, my God, as the Lord foretold to David, my father, when he said, ‘Your son whom I will establish to take your place upon your throne will be the one who will build a temple for my name.’
