1 Chronicles 28:3-5

Darby Translation

³ But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

⁴ And Jehovah the God of Israel chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for he has chosen Judah to be the prince; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;

⁵ and of all my sons, (for Jehovah has given me many sons,) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel.
