1 Kings 5:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.

⁴ But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.

⁵ Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name.
