1 Chronicles 22:7

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

“My son,” said David to Solomon, “it was in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God,

In context

5 And David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent—famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore I must make preparations for it.” So David made lavish preparations before his death.

6 Then David called for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.

7 “My son,” said David to Solomon, “it was in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God,

8 but this word of the LORD came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for My Name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before Me.

9 But a son will be born to you who will be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for his name will be Solomon, and I will grant to Israel peace and quiet during his reign.
