1 And David will say, This house itself of Jehovah God, and this the altar for burnt-offering to Israel. 2 And David will say to assemble the strangers which are in the land of Israel; and he will set up hewers of stone to hew out hewn stones to build the house of God. 3 And iron for abundance for nails for the doors of the gates, and for the junctions, David prepared; and brass for abundance no weight; 4 And cedar woods to no number: for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought cedar woods for multitude to David. 5 And David will say, Solomon my son a youth and tender, and the house to be built for Jehovah to be great for going up for a name and for glory to all the lands: I will now prepare for it. And David will prepare for abundance before his death. 6 And he will call for Solomon his son, and he will command him to build a house to Jehovah God of Israel. 7 And David will say to Solomon his son, I, it was with my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God. 8 And the word of Jehovah will be upon me, saying, Thou didst pour out blood for abundance, and didst make great wars: thou shalt not build a house for my name, for thou didst pour out many bloods in the earth before me. 9 Behold, a son being born to thee, he shall be a man of rest; and I caused rest to him from all his enemies from round about: for Solomon shall be his name, and I will give peace and quiet upon Israel in his days. 10 He shall build a house to my name; and he shall be to me for son, and I to him for father; and I prepared the throne of his kingdom over Israel even to forever. 1 Chronicles 22:1-10, Smith's Literal Translation.
