But this word of the Lord came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and have fought many wars.(A) You are not to build a house for my Name,(B) because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. But you will have a son who will be a man of peace(C) and rest,(D) and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon,[a](E) and I will grant Israel peace and quiet(F) during his reign. 10 He is the one who will build a house for my Name.(G) He will be my son,(H) and I will be his father. And I will establish(I) the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’(J)
