Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and (B)I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for (C)his name shall be [b]Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days. 10 (D)He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
