1 Kings 5:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ “You know that David, my father, could not build a House to the Name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until the LORD had put them under the soles of his feet.

⁴ “But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary nor evil to resist.

⁵ “And behold, I intend to build a House to the Name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set upon your throne for you, he shall build a House to My Name.’
