⁶ Then he called Solomon, his son, and charged him to build a House for the LORD God of Israel.

⁷ And David said to Solomon, “My son, I had intended to build a House to the Name of the LORD my God,

⁸ “but the Word of the LORD came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood, and have made great battles. You shall not build a House to My Name. For you have shed much blood upon the Earth in My sight.
