6 And he called for Solomon his son, and he commanded him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel. 7 And David said to Solomon, “My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house for the Name of YHWH my God. 8 And the word of YHWH came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood in abundance, and you have made great wars. You shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth before My face. 9 Behold, a son shall be born to you. He shall be a man of rest, and I will give rest to him from all his enemies round about. For Solomon shall be His name, and peace and quietness I will give to Israel in his days. 10 He shall build a house for My Name, and he shall be unto Me son, and I will be unto him Father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel even to forever.’ 11 Now, my son, may YHWH be with you, and may you prosper and build the house of YHWH your God, as He spoke concerning you. 12 Only may YHWH give to you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of YHWH your God. 13 Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and the ordinances with which YHWH commanded Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and be courageous. Do not fear and do not be dismayed. 1 Chronicles 22:6-13, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
