1 Chronicles 22:8-10

8 But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ^a‘You have shed much blood and have waged great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed so much blood before me on the earth. 9 Behold, a son shall be born to you who shall be a man of rest. ^bI will give him rest from all his surrounding enemies. ^cFor his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days. 10 ^dHe shall build a house for my name. ^eHe shall be my son, and I will be his father, and I will establish his royal throne in Israel forever.’
