For the worship of God, and for his honour and glory:

1 Chronicles 22:10 In-Context

8 But the Lord told me that I had killed too many people and fought too many wars. And so, because of all the bloodshed I have caused, he would not let me build a temple for him.

9 He did, however, make me a promise. He said, "You will have a son who will rule in peace, because I will give him peace from all his enemies. His name will be Solomon, because during his reign I will give Israel peace and security.

10 He will build a temple for me. He will be my son, and I will be his father. His dynasty will rule Israel forever.' "

11 David continued, "Now, son, may the Lord your God be with you, and may he keep his promise to make you successful in building a temple for him.

12 And may the Lord your God give you insight and wisdom so that you may govern Israel according to his Law.
