1 Chronicles
1 Chronicles 22:4–6
4and more cedar logs than could be counted; for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs to David.
5And David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent — famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore I must make preparations for it.” So David made lavish preparations before his death.
6Then David called for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
