1 Chronicles 22:9-13

9 'Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and 1I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for 2his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.
10 '3He 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, 4the LORD be with you that you may be successful, and build the house of the LORD your God just as He has spoken concerning you.
12 "5Only the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and give you charge over Israel, so that you may 6keep the law of the LORD your God.
13 "7Then you will prosper, if you are careful to observe the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD commanded Moses concerning Israel. 8Be strong and courageous, do not fear nor be dismayed.
