1 Chronicles 22:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ Then he called for Solomon his son and charged him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.

⁷ David said to Solomon, My son, it was in my heart to build a house to the ^[a]Name and [for the symbol of] the Presence of the Lord my God.

⁸ But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to My Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.
