5 Now David said, (A)“Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it.” So David made abundant preparations before his death.
6 Then he called for his son Solomon, and [a]charged him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel. 7 And David said to Solomon: “My son, as for me, (B)it was in my mind to build a house (C)to the name of the Lord my God; 8 but the word of the Lord came to me, saying, (D)‘You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight. 9 (E)Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him (F)rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be [b]Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days. 10 (G)He shall build a house for My name, and (H)he shall be My son, and I will be his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’ 11 Now, my son, may (I)the Lord be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of the Lord your God, as He has said to you.
