Chapter 22

5David said, 'My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord shall be exceedingly magnificent, famous, and glorious throughout the lands. Therefore I now will make preparations for it.' So David made ample preparations before his death.
6Then he called for his son Solomon, and commanded him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel. 7David said to Solomon, 'My son, I had intended to build a house for the name of the Lord my God. 8But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to My name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth before Me.
King James Version

Chapter 22

5And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the Lord must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the Lord God of Israel. 7And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God: 8But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

6Then he summoned his son Solomon and charged him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel. 7"My son," David said to Solomon, "It was in my heart to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, 8but the word of the Lord came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for my name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before me.

Chapter 22

5David said, 'My son Solomon is still young and inexperienced. And since the Temple to be built for the Lord must be a magnificent structure, famous and glorious throughout the world, I will begin making preparations for it now.' So David collected vast amounts of building materials before his death.
6Then David sent for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a Temple for the Lord, the God of Israel. 7My son, I wanted to build a Temple to honor the name of the Lord my God,' David told him. 8But the Lord said to me, ‘You have killed many men in the battles you have fought. And since you have shed so much blood in my sight, you will not be the one to build a Temple to honor my name.
