MKJV(i)
6 And he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for Jehovah, the God of Israel.
7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God.
8 But the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying, You have shed much blood and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to My name because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.
9 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. For his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
10 He shall build a house for My name. And he shall be My son, and I will be his Father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.
11 Now, my son, may Jehovah be with you and bless you, and build the house of Jehovah your God as He has said of you.
12 Only may Jehovah give you wisdom and understanding, and direct you concerning Israel, so that you may keep the Law of Jehovah your God.
13 Then you shall prosper, if you take heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments with which Jehovah charged Moses, concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage. Do not fear, nor be dismayed.
