1 Chronicles 22:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ He summoned his son Solomon and commanded him to build a temple for the Lord God of Israel. ⁷ David told his son Solomon, “I had my heart set on building a temple for the name of the Lord, my God. ⁸ But the Lord spoke his word to me by saying, ‘You have caused a lot of bloodshed and fought in a lot of wars. You must not build a temple for my name because you have caused so much bloodshed in my presence.
