7 David addressed Solomon: |I have attempted to build a temple to the name of the LORD my God. 8 But this message from the LORD came to me, telling me 'You have shed a lot of blood and fought great battles. You won't be building a house for my name, since you have shed so much blood on the earth in my sight. 9 But look! A son born to you will live comfortably, because I will give him rest from all his enemies that surround him on every side, since his name will be |Solomon|—I will give peace and quiet for Israel during his lifetime. 10 He will build a temple to my name. He will be a son to me, I myself will be a father to him, and I will secure his royal throne in Israel forever.' 1 Chronicles 22:7-10, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
