1 Chronicles 22:7-9

Complete Jewish Bible

⁷ “My son,” said David to Shlomo, “my heart was set on building a house for the name of Adonai my God. ⁸ But a message from Adonai came to me, ‘You have shed much blood and fought great wars. You are not to build a house for my name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth in my sight. ⁹ But you will have a son who will be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies that surround him; for his name is to be Shlomo, and during his reign I will give peace ^[a] and quiet to Isra’el.
