You must not build a temple to honor me, for you have spilled a great deal of blood on the ground before me.Look, you will have a son, who will be a peaceful man. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. Indeed, Solomon will be his name; I will give Israel peace and quiet during his reign.He will build a temple to honor me; he will become my son, and I will become his father. I will grant to his dynasty permanent rule over Israel.’“ Now, my son, may the LORD be with you! May you succeed and build a temple for the LORD your God, just as he announced you would.
