1 Chronicles 22:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ The men of Tyre and Sidon brought great rafts of cedar logs to David.

⁵ “Solomon my son is young and tender,” David said, “and the Temple of the Lord must be a marvelous structure, famous and glorious throughout the world; so I will begin the preparations for it now.”

So David collected the construction materials before his death. ⁶ He now commanded his son Solomon to build a Temple for the Lord God of Israel.
