1 Kings 5:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ You know how David my father could not build a house to the Name of the Lord his God because wars were about him on every side, until the Lord put his foes under his feet.^(A)

⁴ But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil confronting me.

⁵ And I purpose to build a house to the Name of the Lord my God, as the Lord said to David my father, Your son whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house to My Name and Presence.
