David’s Charge to Solomon and the Leaders
6 Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel. 7 David said to Solomon, “My son, I had planned to build a house to the name of the Lord my God.(A) 8 But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to my name because you have shed so much blood in my sight on the earth.(B) 9 See, a son shall be born to you; he shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; indeed, his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace[a] and quiet to Israel in his days.(C) 10 He shall build a house for my name. He shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him, and I will establish his royal throne in Israel forever.’(D) 11 Now, my son, the Lord be with you, so that you may succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, as he has spoken concerning you.(E) 12 Only, may the Lord grant you discretion and understanding, so that when he gives you charge over Israel you may keep the law of the Lord your God.(F) 13 Then you will prosper, if you are careful to observe the statutes and the ordinances that the Lord commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid or dismayed.(G)

1 Chronicles 22:6-13
New International Version
6 Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him to build(A) a house for the Lord, the God of Israel. 7 David said to Solomon: “My son, I had it in my heart(B) to build(C) a house for the Name(D) of the Lord my God. 8 But this word of the Lord came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and have fought many wars.(E) You are not to build a house for my Name,(F) because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. 9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace(G) and rest,(H) and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon,[a](I) and I will grant Israel peace and quiet(J) during his reign. 10 He is the one who will build a house for my Name.(K) He will be my son,(L) and I will be his father. And I will establish(M) the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’(N)
11 “Now, my son, the Lord be with(O) you, and may you have success and build the house of the Lord your God, as he said you would. 12 May the Lord give you discretion and understanding(P) when he puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God. 13 Then you will have success(Q) if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws(R) that the Lord gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous.(S) Do not be afraid or discouraged.
