1 Chronicles

1 Chronicles 22:5–6

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.
