1 Chronicles 28:2-3

Webster(i) 2 Then David the king stood upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building: 3 But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.
