Now David said, “Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord  must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it.”... Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel. And David said to Solomon: “My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the Lord my God; but the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight. Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days... Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of the Lord your God, as He has said to you. Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the Lord  charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed. Of gold and silver and bronze and iron there is no limit. Arise and begin working, and the Lord be with you.” David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, “ Is not the Lord your God with you? And has He not given you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the Lord and before His people. Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy articles of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the Lord.”
1 Chronicles 22:5-11,13,16-19 - NKJV
