1 Chronicles 22:7-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ David said to Solomon, “^(A)My son, ^[a]I had intended to build a house to the name of the Lord my God. ⁸ But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘^(B)You have shed much blood and have ^[b]waged great wars; you shall not build a house to My name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth before Me. ⁹ Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and ^(C)I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for ^(D)his name shall be ^[c]Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days. ^10 (E)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.’
