6. Then he called for Solomon, his son, and charged him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel.
7. And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a house unto the name of the Lord my God;
8. but the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly and hast made great wars; thou shalt not build a house unto my name because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
9. Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about, for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
10. He shall build a house for my name, and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
11. Now, my son, the Lord be with thee, and be thou prospered and build the house of the Lord thy God, as he has said of thee.
12. Only the Lord give thee wisdom and understanding and give thee commandments for Israel, and that thou keep the law of the Lord thy God.
13. Then shalt thou be prospered if thou shalt keep thyself to do the statutes and rights which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
14. Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the Lord one hundred thousand talents of gold and a thousand thousand talents of silver, and the brass and iron are without weight, for it is in abundance. Likewise, I have prepared timber and stone, unto which thou shalt add.
